@@mikshinee87 John used to be violent, and he did have occasional relapses, but he was peaceful *because* he used to be violent. He wanted to change, and he wanted everyone else to change too.
ALSO- yoko developed a stutter in 1968. she talked about this in 1972/3. john made a habit of talking for her during this time. it's absent in their last interviews in 1980, after they took a 5 year break from the public. john never hit yoko. that's what yoko has been trying to say the past 37 years. he hit his first wife once, when he was 18. (which she responded with breaking up with him for a month, and he returned.) he wasn't a habitual wife beater. he was traumatized by his stepfather bobby dykins who hit Julia Lennon to the point of her face bleeding. If your sources are Albert Goldman and Phillip Norman, who Yoko & Paul hate, i'm not going to listen to you.
the phil norman biography was really amazing. i respect him. paul does not hate phil norman, and guess what norman did a biography on paul, rivals john in size, and paul is endorsing it. yoko spent years talking to norman about his life, but she got angry about all the thing he disclosed when he wrote the book, like for instance a story of john and his friends playing a masterbation game when they were kids, like who could shoot the farthest or some sort of thing like that. yoko told him stuff like that, i guess she was just talking her head off, and then he included it in the biography and she got angry like 'how can you include a story about john masterbating!!!!" but really she might have been high when she told the story in the first place. there is also a story in the norman biography that john stabbed a robbed a guy in hamburg after a show and they guy was buying them food and drinks all night. i don't know where the story came from . maybe yoko, maybe someone else who knew them in those days. i forget. i find it hard to believe norman would make up a story like that. and john, his violent drunk thing, it seems plausible event though it hurts to hear he would do that to anyone mr. love and peace dissonance if ever there was dissonance. he was a violent drunk for sure.
I mean he married because he knocked her up. He married her because he felt he had to. He cheated on her repeatedly and professionally tried to keep their marriage a secret from the press as soon as it happened. Not exactly something you do when you're in love. Prior to that he never even had a serious girlfriend, so it's easy to believe he had never been in love until he met Yoko. Remember that he fell for Yoko before she fell for him. She didn't even know who he was and didn't listen to the Beatles, so he knew that she wasn't impressed by his fame. In fact, she met Paul first and was working on some art project and borrowed some stuff from Paul before John met her on a completely unrelated event where he was blown away by her artwork without even knowing who the artist was. Then they started working on a project together before they fell in love. So it was this thing of mutual respect.
He was drunk one night and got Cynthia pregnant. Unfortunately not everyone we f*ck as young individuals do we love. He still married her and tried,because of his own childhood without his birth father. But he did not love her. I think he resented julian as a result. The Beatles just began his long journey of creativity in writing and singing and at 22 thats alot. How can u blame him for not loving her?? When he met Yoko he found that love. Who would not go to it? Cynthia kept Julian from john out of jealousy. She is portrayed as the victim and it is not accurate. She made herself the victim by trapping a young man in a situation to hold on to him in actuality thats why he left. Just because you have sex and create a life doesn't mean you owe them anything or your life. It was an act that took minutes and makes people judge him to this day. See how ridiculous that is? Imagine if you had to remain with your 1st sexual partner...lol id rather die.
Why do you think that John was drunk, that it was a one night stand, or that Cynthia was his 1st partner? Also- he asked he to marry him, there wasnt pressure- he could have used his Aunt Mimis objection to it if he really didnt want to do it. Just...its plainly disrespectful to Cynthia. Not even sure how anyone could claim otherwise.
Had a wife and son =/= being in love. He knocked someone up, thought he would live up to the responsibility and immediately regretted it. He had never had a serious girlfriend before and now he was saddled with a wife he didn't love. He tried to hide the fact that he was married from the public and tried to cultivate the image of a single young man. He didn't have much experience with women in a romantic sense and probably thought he would never fall in love. Infatuation he knew. Lust obviously, but never had he felt that feeling of "Oh, this person is where it's at. I want to build my entire life around her."
Usually yes. But it wasn't the rule for every single person. & like I said, his aunt actually didn't want him to get married- he could have used her objection against it if he really wanted to.
seriously! while he is speaking about love and whatever else. the dude was clearly just in a relationship with himself. yoko seems as self involved during their relationship, just watching the video where john was playing with Chuck Berry. both a bunch of narcissists.
If you want John Lennon at his most enlightened point, listen to his 1980 interviews. This interview was done in 1969, at the height of his heroin addiction, and in the midst of his band breaking up. He's 29 here. What “kid” isn't narcissistic at that age? “Of course” he was interrupting Yoko. He hadn’t learned yet. Totally on brand with every other narcissistic world-famous artist that age who grew up in macho culture. Don’t crucify the man for mistakes he made while he was learning how to manoeuvre a very peculiar situation: (ie....being a revolutionary artist, a tortured soul, and one of the most famous people on the planet) He hadn't truly embraced feminism at this age of 29. His 1980 interviews are where he shows his healthiest outlook. He was a real man when he died.
jenny crystal jenny crystal I lived in Japan for five years. I speak okay Japanese. Even visited the John Lennon museum by Saitama Super Arena before it closed to tie it back in. Yoko's English, while still accented, is amazingly fluent and nuanced. I think this is the first time I've heard a contemporary interview with her and, while I think she's a pretentious hack now, can see what attracted an equally hacky yet lovable soul like Lennon.
Oh for f*cks sake.. She had anxiety and even asked him to help vocalize an idea she couldn’t articulate sometimes.. Even if done ignorantly, I think he intended to be more accommodating than anything.
There is such a thing as smothering. Wanting constant attention from offspring can be about one's own insecurities. Quality time matters much more than quantity.
All the people commenting on John being a wife abuser: he only hit Cynthia once, when he was 22. It's in the book "John" written by Cynthia herself. She said John swore he never hits her again, and he never did. He was neglectful to his first son, Julian, but renewed his bond with him in the late 1970s. He never beat him, though.
he was potentially violent when he drank. he once grabbed may pangs hair during some drunken dispute and he had been violent with other men while drinking on a few occassions. according to one biography he stabbed and mugged a man when he was living in hamburg after some guy had been buying the band food and drink one night because he was enjoying their show. it hurts to hear it. but it was in 'the life' by phil norman, a respected beatles historian not some gossip rag. he was a potentially violent drunk for sure even if he only hit cynthia once and never again.
none business yep his drinking was never good for him .and as far as his relationship with Julian he was off touring he get home and he said he didn't recognize his son he grew and changed so much . that's why he did what he did with Sean he felt bad but it was too late Sean was his second chance I think .
While John was not physically abusive, he was emotionally abusive, constantly insulting and threatening his wife and son, being paranoid about the idea of his wife cheating on him, and abandoning them. However, he managed to improve on those issues as his life continued, and while he never redeemed himself, he at least tried
"I have to say that, from my point of view, I felt he was a hypocrite," he continued. "Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces -- no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself."
I think the reason I love John Lennon so much is because he WASN'T perfect, and he admitted it. He did things he wasn't proud of, just like the rest of us. He was nothing but human. He could let his emotions get the better of him, he could screw up, he could hurt the people he loved, but that's all because he wasn't perfect. That's what makes us (Humans) so great. We can do wrong, and we can do things we're not proud of. Think of how boring life would be without making mistakes, and putting up with the consequences.
biggie321hp Exactly! And furthermore, he spent the later years of his life “fixing” himself and working past the mistakes he made and trying to make himself a better person.
I actually love Yoko. As a fan of the Beatles, I feel she did in a way take Johns attention away. As a John Lennon fan, I feel she was the best thing for him. The good and the bad, both working out for the better. My favorite songs John sang are his solo songs. I bought his first solo album on vinyl from a used record store. Listening to it after this comment. It’s my favorite album with Johns voice in it. Out of Beatles and solo work etc. “mother” “god” “love” “look at me”… I thank Yoko as much as I thank John ❤️
Totally, I'm sick and tired of seeing all these disgusting comments about Yoko, John loved her and she loved John, you don't know personally so being jerks! Bloody hell
I see what he saw in her. I see it in the way they looked at each other. I hear it in the way they spoke about each other. I've lived it because I've loved like that. When you see two people that in love and you've experienced it yourself, you recognize it.
"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies"-Aristotle. It is easy to become one with others once you are clear of the mind because only then are you pure spirit. We are all pure spirit, and once we drop the weights of our minds and become that, we will all become one love, a single soul inhabiting many bodies. *Google truth contest* and read "The Present" to learn how to become pure spirit. Dat first page dough
I started to cry watching this. I wish John where still alive. I really do. I miss him, Yoko misses him, and so does the rest of the world. Rest In Peace John. Because peace and love, is what you wanted. And I hope you got it. ❤️
johns voice is so soothing. listening to his views on certain things just makes me happy and we need more people like him in this world. he was one of a kind.
I think Yoko is underappreciated as an artist. Musically she's not everybody's cup of tea and I get that (her scream-songs are what she's most known for, but she's done other styles of music, and her work on her and John's final album together is some of her best), but her concept art pieces like Grapefruit are really thought-provoking and beautiful, and she was the woman who finally taught John about feminism. She deserves more credit than she gets.
The very definition of pretentious. She had virtually no artistic or musical skill. Becoming a great artist isn't just about ideas. It takes blood, sweat & tears = training and practice. Anyone with a brain can have smart and rebellious ideas. Many artists b4 her that actually honed their craft produced brilliant work criticizing conventional norms. FFS, her own child doesn't like her. That should be a clue right there.
What he said about the TV replacing the fireplace I think is absolutely true. We lost fireplaces and stoves in the home about the time TV came along, too so that was good timing.
Yes, George was a "beautiful soul." Whoops. Didn't his widow refer to "hiccups" in their marriage and didn't Mr. Soul not having any problem cheating on Pattie Harrison with Ringo's wife, Maureen. Harrison was a fine guitarist but he was no more an angel than Lennon was a devil.
@@brannon5311 well wasn’t mister Clapton the one and only that wrote Layla for Pattie? because he was so madly in love with her and didn’t little miss boyd cheated on George too?, George cheated a lot and had a lot of affairs but well the persons we fall in love with aren’t perfect y’know
Yes it is true that John was abusive and had his issues. He regretted how he was with Julian and tried to make it better by being there for Sean. He took a hiatus just to raise him and people have him shit for that too. People make mistakes but that doesn't mean they don't try to be better. And he most definitely wasn't a conformist. People called him all kinds of names for the off the wall ideas he had about peace. But the way I see it, you don't know if you don't try. It's a sad world where the one who wants peace is the crazy one...
As much as I love John, I absolutely hate what he did to Cyn. She was a beautiful and kind woman who didn’t deserve to get cheated on with Yoko and it’s sad he fell into her trap.
it makes me sad for cynthia when john said he’d fallen in love only at 29. ive seen pictures of the letters john would write to cynthia, they were so in love. cynthia was john’s first love, yoko came after that. i’m not doubting his love for yoko, i can tell he loved her with all his heart, but it seems that he just wanted to forget about cyn all together after he left her for yoko.
I love John Lennon's music but I have watched a few interviews with the two of them and he did seem to overshadow her & cut her of a number of times. I don't know if he was abusive but I get a bad feeling.........
tbh it pissed me off every time john interrupted her, yoko has such a beautiful and calm voice and i feel like we didnt get to hear that much. i used to hate her but now i wanted to know more about her and hear her side of the story :(
They both neglected to mention that when they finally found "love" they were both married at the time. They spent a lot of time trying to convince the world that their relationship was so magical and beautiful, but in reality it was really, really sick. Sheer codependence.
Caryn James that's because it didn't have to be mentioned. People could feel it. Unlike you because you're heartless just like a lot of other people here negatively talking about them two.
tanith jackson. i hate pointing out the obvious, but just because they were married it does not mean they were in love with the people they were married to or that they were not in love with each other. maybe it was magical and beautiful to them and that is more important than what you imagine about what their reality was. so they didn't love their spouse. happens all the time. what is your issue.
You can think you fell in love, get married have kids and then one day you meet someone and you learn what love actually is. It happens, you realize that what you had wasn't really love, your spouse isn't the love of your life. I don't think that's sick. Hopefully you'll find real love at the first try, but that's very unlikely. Life is messy and we'll make a lot of mistakes... And if you're lucky you'll find real love at some point and if you're even luckier you'll be able to keep it.
Ben B John Lennon was abusive before yoko and she fixed his attitude but she practically manipulated John and split the Beatles so they may have had problems but don't go as far as to shit on them. They were also spreaders of peace and love so cut them so slack we all have problems especially big ones
hitting women is not an honest mistake. most men wouldn't even dream of doing that. get a grip with your sarcastic "perfect people". NOT hitting women is not asking for perfection. what the fuck. and neither is it owning up to your responsibilities as a parent with you decide to bring someone into the world.
That's the reason I don't like John Lennon very much. John had been seeing Yoko while still with Cynthia and John would then proceed to leave Cynthia and his young son Julian because supposedly he didn't find that relationship very stimulating and even then John proceeds to cheat on Yoko with another lady named May Pang and then it turns out Yoko was actually involved with two other men at the time and then it turns out Yoko actually set John up with May, it's a whole mess. John pretty much throws love away and takes it for granted and after everything that's happened Cynthia still loved John Till her dying breath and it pretty much messed up Julian. Yeah I don't like John Lennon.
enduringstone What does that have to do with him being abusive. The Interviewer also interrupted her and the newspapers Said very racist Things about her too. Everyone did IT and He actually Defended her. I'd say that she was fairly Manipulative herself: Using His bloody Glasses as Part of her Album Cover??? And making Julian buy Letters written By John to him Back from her???
@Debbie Smith Good for him? Wasn't she seeing another guy on the same day he dies? Didn't she also threaten to kill herself if John went to see his first son, Julian?
Davy Yells- are you sure YOU read 'John'? That was not the story. Cynthia and John did not know each other in high school, they dated in college, and she didn't say he slapped her, she said she PUNCHED her. And she wasn't holding hands with a boy, she danced with John's best friend Stuart Sutcliffe while they were all at a party together, the next day he followed her at school to a secluded spot and punched her in the face. She broke up with him immediately, and a few months later he begged her to take him back and she did. She said he never hit her again, but she said he could oftentimes go into rages and become verbally abusive, to Julian as well as herself. Lennon had a very dark side to his personality.
The thing about music is that the message far proceeds the writer. Take Layne Staley for example, most of his songs documented the misery of heroin addiction but he was the definition of a heroin addict till the day he died. The music doesn't become less meaningful just because the writer is a hypocrite. Though Lennon was abusive and a racist, the messages in his songs still are positive and meaningful.
how was john a 'racist'. his wife was japanese. he refused to play in a segregated statium in florida when he was a beatle. i don't get what was racist about johm
Man you can say whatever you want about Yoko and hate her and stuff, but you can't deny that they were one of the most iconic love stories of the 21st Century. Punto. I wish I could be loved like that by a man like John Lennon in my life.
Well, she may have been more of a replacement for his mother, who died when he was a pre-teen. As brilliant as John was, he was pretty insecure. It's not so much love, as filling an emotional void. He may not have wanted her with him at all times if his heart had healed from the loss. The same was true for Jimi Hendrix. Lost his absentee/partier mom when he was 12. It shaped his life in a different way-- perhaps contributing to his manic depression.
+stfwho Well, no shit. No one is perfect, he's said it himself, he's just a man who makes music. He's not a god or "Jesus" for that matter, nor do I perceive him to be any of the sort. He just spoke of peace and love.
xx_gothicbunny_xx Someone asked "how is he horrible" so I simply replied to them to look up what kind of messed up shit he did even late in life. His public image and who he actually was are two things entirely. Don't confuse a product for a person.
stfwho and don't confuse a person with facts for a person with bs. The internet is full of shit these days. You looking up that bull shit about Lennon is your problem. Besides, If your think he's that bad, why are you watching this video and why are you wasting your "precious" time with looking up stuff about him? Shut up and go comment bullshit somewhere else. Damn.
the person who just commented about john being a wife beater and tearing down his name.. John made plenty of mistakes but he knew how to love and he preached it. And he changed his life because of this woman, all the shit stories you sit there and slander him with is Bullshit because you probably heard it on a tv program or an Interview or some kind of book.. Toward the end of his life people were saying many things about him and most was Bullshit.. so cut the crap and have a Damn heart.
Emmanuelle Rodriguez thank you for pointing this out. John was a man who had so many troubles in his life, and music was an outlet for it. As he got older, he kept learning and did he still make mistakes? Yes of course. We all do. But he was a man who fixed them too. So don't shame John because of the rumors you've heard. The internet is full of bs these days. But something you need to do is open your heart and give John a chance.
Isn't that kinda weird? I mean I would understand a poster Neil Armstrong cuz he all about math and science, or even a poster of Edgar Allan Poe, but yoko and John i don't understand...
We are ALL sinners and deserve the punishment of hell but jesus took all of our sins on the cross, he lived a perfect sinless life and died on the cross for all of our sins. He said repent and turn away from all your sins and pray in repentance for the washing away of your sins by his holy blood. Pray the sinners prayer and become a born again christian cause without holiness no one will see the Lord Hebrews 12:14 Please pray in repentance to jesus and he WILL forgive you for all your sins and wash it away and go and sin no more! I love you all and may god bless you
Dynomite Jones One whose father ignored him too? It doesn’t justify it, but history seems to repeat itself that way. Julian seems to have turned out pretty well considering, but he’s also made the decision not to have children. Very wise, I’d say.
this is the first video I've ever seen with commenters not completely hating on Yoko
John O look a little longer because people definitely have problems with her for whatever reason
I saw a reply saying, ver batim, "Yoko is a no talent evil bitch."

I felt so bad for Cynthia when he said he hadn’t been in love before he met Yoko
I don't really like the couple "John & Cynthia". But, yes, I felt so bad for her too.
I've said that I don't really like that couple but I think Cynthia was adorable
Maybe it wasn’t the true love he wanted obviously
why feel bad? it wasn't meant to be. no happy marriage has ever ended in divorce.

Why do they make him look so old
Nebalon Trebule I know in the picture he looked pretty youthful with his beard and all. Dunno why they had to make him look ancient
Nebalon Trebule that's just how he looked from smoking and doing so many drugs, that's what they do to you.
He's an old sooooul or some shit like that
To match his voice
Ben B no he didn’t
Poor Yoko, he talked over her every time she tried to get a word in.
Understandable 'cause Yoko was a horrible person. Perhaps she was good in their personal life.
I thank him. Would rather listen to someone taking a shit than Yoko Ono.
I don't get why people don't like her. She's an amazing and IMPORTANT artist. Lennon was in a boy band...
Are you trolling?
No like legitimately. She's really important in the art world. I can't stand the woman hating.
Is it just me or was Yoko shut down a few times by John? I find that bizarre since clearly John wanted nothing more than to be with Yoko all the time.
Malavika Sreekumar
I think it's cause she was constantly stepping in
Becoz he was Bewitched...
he wanted to have yoko as his audience. very different from loving someone.
Oh for f*cks sake.. She had anxiety and even asked him to help vocalize an idea she couldn’t articulate sometimes.. Even if done ignorantly, I think he intended to be more accommodating than anything.
“Both of you seem very close, whats your secret?”
“ *Drugs* “
Lol
Pretty sure John cut the drugs during these final years of his life with Yoko
You can't give a child to much love and if you love somebody you can't be with them enough.

There is such a thing as smothering. Wanting constant attention from offspring can be about one's own insecurities. Quality time matters much more than quantity.
Its nice that he finaly found someone. Yoko sounds sweet and i feel bad that so many people dislike her

All the people commenting on John being a wife abuser: he only hit Cynthia once, when he was 22. It's in the book "John" written by Cynthia herself. She said John swore he never hits her again, and he never did. He was neglectful to his first son, Julian, but renewed his bond with him in the late 1970s. He never beat him, though.
Well, whatever if he did hit her. I bet that if his wife had hit him nobody would say anything.
he was potentially violent when he drank. he once grabbed may pangs hair during some drunken dispute and he had been violent with other men while drinking on a few occassions. according to one biography he stabbed and mugged a man when he was living in hamburg after some guy had been buying the band food and drink one night because he was enjoying their show. it hurts to hear it. but it was in 'the life' by phil norman, a respected beatles historian not some gossip rag. he was a potentially violent drunk for sure even if he only hit cynthia once and never again.
none business yep his drinking was never good for him .and as far as his relationship with Julian he was off touring he get home and he said he didn't recognize his son he grew and changed so much . that's why he did what he did with Sean he felt bad but it was too late Sean was his second chance I think .
While John was not physically abusive, he was emotionally abusive, constantly insulting and threatening his wife and son, being paranoid about the idea of his wife cheating on him, and abandoning them. However, he managed to improve on those issues as his life continued, and while he never redeemed himself, he at least tried
"I have to say that, from my point of view, I felt he was a hypocrite," he continued. "Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces -- no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself."
John’s voice is honestly so calming 😭
I think the reason I love John Lennon so much is because he WASN'T perfect, and he admitted it. He did things he wasn't proud of, just like the rest of us. He was nothing but human. He could let his emotions get the better of him, he could screw up, he could hurt the people he loved, but that's all because he wasn't perfect. That's what makes us (Humans) so great. We can do wrong, and we can do things we're not proud of. Think of how boring life would be without making mistakes, and putting up with the consequences.
biggie321hp I'm not perfect. Do you love me?
Jimmy Catalina No, because he doesn’t know who you even are.
biggie321hp that's why I love him too
Same
biggie321hp Exactly! And furthermore, he spent the later years of his life “fixing” himself and working past the mistakes he made and trying to make himself a better person.
I actually love Yoko. As a fan of the Beatles, I feel she did in a way take Johns attention away. As a John Lennon fan, I feel she was the best thing for him. The good and the bad, both working out for the better. My favorite songs John sang are his solo songs. I bought his first solo album on vinyl from a used record store. Listening to it after this comment. It’s my favorite album with Johns voice in it. Out of Beatles and solo work etc. “mother” “god” “love” “look at me”… I thank Yoko as much as I thank John ❤️
There was something about Yoko, John seen others didn't.
Berating her wouldn't have been cool with John.
Think before you speak ✌️
Exactly
Totally, I'm sick and tired of seeing all these disgusting comments about Yoko, John loved her and she loved John, you don't know personally so being jerks! Bloody hell
period.
I see what he saw in her.
I see it in the way they looked at each other. I hear it in the way they spoke about each other. I've lived it because I've loved like that. When you see two people that in love and you've experienced it yourself, you recognize it.
Thank u geez!
Funny to hear Yoko call her early 30's a "late stage" in her life when now she's 2000 years old and probably immortal
You are delightfully funny.
_Yoko's voice is soft.. But when she sings.. What?_
You should listen to Yes I'm your angel, her voice sounds nice. I think she has a pretty voice, but people only pay attention when she's screaming
@@becks5012 I agree! She has a lovely voice
Listen to 'Remember Love'
@@becks5012 ikr, I love "nobody sees me like you do" but people think her screaming is singing?
When she's actually singing she sounds like a little girl.
I didn't realize Yoko had such a sweet voice. Kinda sounds a bit like me when I was younger.
Go for paul and linda
YES
Or with all the other Beatles. I want a video about George and religion.

"Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies"-Aristotle. It is easy to become one with others once you are clear of the mind because only then are you pure spirit. We are all pure spirit, and once we drop the weights of our minds and become that, we will all become one love, a single soul inhabiting many bodies. *Google truth contest* and read "The Present" to learn how to become pure spirit. Dat first page dough
great!
I started to cry watching this. I wish John where still alive. I really do. I miss him, Yoko misses him, and so does the rest of the world. Rest In Peace John. Because peace and love, is what you wanted. And I hope you got it. ❤️

johns voice is so soothing. listening to his views on certain things just makes me happy and we need more people like him in this world. he was one of a kind.
*Nobody cares how much you hate Yoko.*
no matter how crazy yoko is, you gotta give some respect cause somehow she was the thing that made john's world go round
ua-cam.com/video/sNEeKSt-qjc/v-deo.html
I think Yoko is underappreciated as an artist. Musically she's not everybody's cup of tea and I get that (her scream-songs are what she's most known for, but she's done other styles of music, and her work on her and John's final album together is some of her best), but her concept art pieces like Grapefruit are really thought-provoking and beautiful, and she was the woman who finally taught John about feminism. She deserves more credit than she gets.
The very definition of pretentious. She had virtually no artistic or musical skill. Becoming a great artist isn't just about ideas. It takes blood, sweat & tears = training and practice. Anyone with a brain can have smart and rebellious ideas. Many artists b4 her that actually honed their craft produced brilliant work criticizing conventional norms. FFS, her own child doesn't like her. That should be a clue right there.
What he said about the TV replacing the fireplace I think is absolutely true. We lost fireplaces and stoves in the home about the time TV came along, too so that was good timing.
ua-cam.com/video/sNEeKSt-qjc/v-deo.html
Could you do George Harrison, he was such a beautiful soul (as well as my favourite Beatle).
Yes, George was a "beautiful soul." Whoops. Didn't his widow refer to "hiccups" in their marriage and didn't Mr. Soul not having any problem cheating on Pattie Harrison with Ringo's wife, Maureen. Harrison was a fine guitarist but he was no more an angel than Lennon was a devil.
@@brannon5311 well wasn’t mister Clapton the one and only that wrote Layla for Pattie? because he was so madly in love with her and didn’t little miss boyd cheated on George too?, George cheated a lot and had a lot of affairs but well the persons we fall in love with aren’t perfect y’know
Yes it is true that John was abusive and had his issues. He regretted how he was with Julian and tried to make it better by being there for Sean. He took a hiatus just to raise him and people have him shit for that too. People make mistakes but that doesn't mean they don't try to be better. And he most definitely wasn't a conformist. People called him all kinds of names for the off the wall ideas he had about peace. But the way I see it, you don't know if you don't try. It's a sad world where the one who wants peace is the crazy one...
Never felt so lonely in my life, they're such a sweet couple...
ua-cam.com/video/sNEeKSt-qjc/v-deo.html
Nobody:
Yoko: “mmm”
Makes you feel bad for Cyn a bit :/
As much as I love John, I absolutely hate what he did to Cyn. She was a beautiful and kind woman who didn’t deserve to get cheated on with Yoko and it’s sad he fell into her trap.
This interview isn't what I expected he's constantly cutting his"lover" off when she begins to talk.. rude much!
it makes me sad for cynthia when john said he’d fallen in love only at 29. ive seen pictures of the letters john would write to cynthia, they were so in love. cynthia was john’s first love, yoko came after that. i’m not doubting his love for yoko, i can tell he loved her with all his heart, but it seems that he just wanted to forget about cyn all together after he left her for yoko.
ua-cam.com/video/sNEeKSt-qjc/v-deo.html
All of these are absolutely geninous!! THANKS! So Happy The Force led me here ty again!!
I love John Lennon's music but I have watched a few interviews with the two of them and he did seem to overshadow her & cut her of a number of times. I don't know if he was abusive but I get a bad feeling.........
He tends to cut off people a lot, I've noticed. I think he's a narcissist.
Dianne C he is abusive
+Beatleslover 07 he was with cynthia but that was when he was young he matured in the 70's
@beatleslover07
...so I guess you're a Paul fan huh?
Dianne C He was abusive, which sucks
This made me cry seriously beautiful :") ~a Beatlemaniac

Beautifully animated and a great, enlightening watch. Thank you!
tbh it pissed me off every time john interrupted her, yoko has such a beautiful and calm voice and i feel like we didnt get to hear that much. i used to hate her but now i wanted to know more about her and hear her side of the story :(
I don't like how he interrupts Yoko so much, would have loved to have her definition. Brilliant woman.

More accurate title: JOHN LENNON CUTTING OFF YOKO ONO WHILE TALKING ABOUT "LOVE".
They both neglected to mention that when they finally found "love" they were both married at the time. They spent a lot of time trying to convince the world that their relationship was so magical and beautiful, but in reality it was really, really sick. Sheer codependence.
Caryn James that's because it didn't have to be mentioned. People could feel it. Unlike you because you're heartless just like a lot of other people here negatively talking about them two.
tanith jackson. i hate pointing out the obvious, but just because they were married it does not mean they were in love with the people they were married to or that they were not in love with each other. maybe it was magical and beautiful to them and that is more important than what you imagine about what their reality was. so they didn't love their spouse. happens all the time. what is your issue.
ch-ch-ch-CHEATERS
You can think you fell in love, get married have kids and then one day you meet someone and you learn what love actually is. It happens, you realize that what you had wasn't really love, your spouse isn't the love of your life. I don't think that's sick. Hopefully you'll find real love at the first try, but that's very unlikely. Life is messy and we'll make a lot of mistakes... And if you're lucky you'll find real love at some point and if you're even luckier you'll be able to keep it.
Thank you. The more I know about the story the more they make me sick...
Nice to see so many perfect people placing blame on these two.
Timmypeck They're being held up as an example of love, and they're a horrible example, because he was an abusive man. Stop trying to defend him.
Ben B they're not trying to? they were being sarcastic.
Ben B John Lennon was abusive before yoko and she fixed his attitude but she practically manipulated John and split the Beatles so they may have had problems but don't go as far as to shit on them. They were also spreaders of peace and love so cut them so slack we all have problems especially big ones
hitting women is not an honest mistake. most men wouldn't even dream of doing that. get a grip with your sarcastic "perfect people". NOT hitting women is not asking for perfection. what the fuck. and neither is it owning up to your responsibilities as a parent with you decide to bring someone into the world.
Ben B He beat his first wife once because he was drunk. He knows how horrible he was for doing that so he fixed up his act.
Every time Yoko tried to speak Lennon cut her off!!!
Honestly people can hate on Yoko all they want but if John found love and someone he could trust in her, that’s a beautiful thing.
That's the reason I don't like John Lennon very much.
John had been seeing Yoko while still with Cynthia and John would then proceed to leave Cynthia and his young son Julian because supposedly he didn't find that relationship very stimulating and even then John proceeds to cheat on Yoko with another lady named May Pang and then it turns out Yoko was actually involved with two other men at the time and then it turns out Yoko actually set John up with May, it's a whole mess.
John pretty much throws love away and takes it for granted and after everything that's happened Cynthia still loved John Till her dying breath and it pretty much messed up Julian.
Yeah I don't like John Lennon.
What programme and techniques did you use to make this?! Great work!...

ua-cam.com/video/sNEeKSt-qjc/v-deo.html
Oh thank god. I was worried this was going to be a duet and we were going to have to hear yoko sing.
pretty sinister how john talks over yoko constantly. at least it seems that way when you know how horrifically abusive he was towards yoko and julian.
enduringstone and Cynthia
enduringstone What does that have to do with him being abusive. The Interviewer also interrupted her and the newspapers Said very racist Things about her too. Everyone did IT and He actually Defended her. I'd say that she was fairly Manipulative herself: Using His bloody Glasses as Part of her Album Cover??? And making Julian buy Letters written By John to him Back from her???
@Debbie Smith He slapped Cynthia once in 1958.
@Debbie Smith Good for him? Wasn't she seeing another guy on the same day he dies? Didn't she also threaten to kill herself if John went to see his first son, Julian?
enduringstone UR crazy as shit. John was not horrifically abusive to either Yoko or Julian. Nothing’s like U need to fuck off.
thanks for posting!! absolutely adorable!
Was this before or after he beat his wife?
During.
maria de vries What 'wrong'?
Davy Yells- are you sure YOU read 'John'? That was not the story. Cynthia and John did not know each other in high school, they dated in college, and she didn't say he slapped her, she said she PUNCHED her. And she wasn't holding hands with a boy, she danced with John's best friend Stuart Sutcliffe while they were all at a party together, the next day he followed her at school to a secluded spot and punched her in the face. She broke up with him immediately, and a few months later he begged her to take him back and she did. She said he never hit her again, but she said he could oftentimes go into rages and become verbally abusive, to Julian as well as herself. Lennon had a very dark side to his personality.
This was definitely after he started to completely neglect his first son.
Mark Nutt Both most likely.
I'm glad he found someone he loved so much and who loved him just the same

I admittedly jumped on the hating Yoko Ono bandwagon, but she genuinely seems like a nice, down-to-Earth person.
Nice Very Nice!!!
John Lennon the Legend!!!
Gotta love John's voice
The thing about music is that the message far proceeds the writer. Take Layne Staley for example, most of his songs documented the misery of heroin addiction but he was the definition of a heroin addict till the day he died. The music doesn't become less meaningful just because the writer is a hypocrite. Though Lennon was abusive and a racist, the messages in his songs still are positive and meaningful.
Racist? yeah, that's why his hero was Chuck berry!
how was john a 'racist'. his wife was japanese. he refused to play in a segregated statium in florida when he was a beatle. i don't get what was racist about johm
Man you can say whatever you want about Yoko and hate her and stuff, but you can't deny that they were one of the most iconic love stories of the 21st Century. Punto. I wish I could be loved like that by a man like John Lennon in my life.
ua-cam.com/video/sNEeKSt-qjc/v-deo.html
Well, she may have been more of a replacement for his mother, who died when he was a pre-teen. As brilliant as John was, he was pretty insecure. It's not so much love, as filling an emotional void. He may not have wanted her with him at all times if his heart had healed from the loss. The same was true for Jimi Hendrix. Lost his absentee/partier mom when he was 12. It shaped his life in a different way-- perhaps contributing to his manic depression.
This is nice when you know zero context behind johns first marriage and how he treated Yuko

Miss you john
I love john lennon.
Me too. How is he horrible??
Celine Mendoza Look him up. He wasn't Jesus no matter how hard he wanted to be.
+stfwho Well, no shit. No one is perfect, he's said it himself, he's just a man who makes music. He's not a god or "Jesus" for that matter, nor do I perceive him to be any of the sort. He just spoke of peace and love.
xx_gothicbunny_xx
Someone asked "how is he horrible" so I simply replied to them to look up what kind of messed up shit he did even late in life. His public image and who he actually was are two things entirely. Don't confuse a product for a person.
stfwho and don't confuse a person with facts for a person with bs. The internet is full of shit these days. You looking up that bull shit about Lennon is your problem. Besides, If your think he's that bad, why are you watching this video and why are you wasting your "precious" time with looking up stuff about him? Shut up and go comment bullshit somewhere else. Damn.
Yoko’s voice is so soft, calm, and serene.
ua-cam.com/video/sNEeKSt-qjc/v-deo.html
the person who just commented about john being a wife beater and tearing down his name.. John made plenty of mistakes but he knew how to love and he preached it. And he changed his life because of this woman, all the shit stories you sit there and slander him with is Bullshit because you probably heard it on a tv program or an Interview or some kind of book.. Toward the end of his life people were saying many things about him and most was Bullshit.. so cut the crap and have a Damn heart.
EXACTLY
Emmanuelle Rodriguez thank you for pointing this out. John was a man who had so many troubles in his life, and music was an outlet for it. As he got older, he kept learning and did he still make mistakes? Yes of course. We all do. But he was a man who fixed them too. So don't shame John because of the rumors you've heard. The internet is full of bs these days. But something you need to do is open your heart and give John a chance.
i miss john lennon so much
did anyone else had a poster of john & yoko in their elementary library? or is that just my school, or maybe a false memory?
Isn't that kinda weird? I mean I would understand a poster Neil Armstrong cuz he all about math and science, or even a poster of Edgar Allan Poe, but yoko and John i don't understand...

Even now, people absolutely despise Yoko Ono. If she was the reason the band broke up by dating Lennon, then it shows how stable it was.
We are ALL sinners and deserve the punishment of hell but jesus took all of our sins on the cross, he lived a perfect sinless life and died on the cross for all of our sins. He said repent and turn away from all your sins and pray in repentance for the washing away of your sins by his holy blood. Pray the sinners prayer and become a born again christian cause without holiness no one will see the Lord Hebrews 12:14 Please pray in repentance to jesus and he WILL forgive you for all your sins and wash it away and go and sin no more! I love you all and may god bless you

Johns was a true gamer he oppressed his wife and children
Julian Lennon was ignored by John his whole life. John did not even telephone his son on his birthday. What type of Dad ignores his son?
Dynomite Jones One whose father ignored him too? It doesn’t justify it, but history seems to repeat itself that way. Julian seems to have turned out pretty well considering, but he’s also made the decision not to have children. Very wise, I’d say.
