- My colleague, Tom Cottle, is the interviewer.
Yoko talks about her relationship with John and says, "It was a lesson for the world that we were together". She shows us John's paintings and talks about his death, their son and much more.
Yoko Ono is a Japanese multimedia artist, singer, songwriter, and peace activist who is also known for her work in performance art and filmmaking. She performs in both English and Japanese. She is the second wife and widow of singer-songwriter John Lennon of the Beatles.
40 years later it still hurts. John Lennon brought a lot of joy to the world through his music. His spirit is eternal.
Yes it is!
still hurts. you're right.
@lucaboden it's about the music if you can comprehend that. Only the feebleminded can't seem to understand the difference.
She he..he yoko is an excellent actress..he will go down in history..as..a fake..
Tavistock is behind the Beatles

The amount of hatred this woman had to endure on top of her loss is unimaginable. What a powerful soul must she have. What struck me was how she once said that her son was his own man now, that it would be no good for him to be busy with what his father or mother did all the time - this too is of a profound wisdom and true love for her child.
she sucks big time, she ruined the beatles. she deserved the hate
The dislike is justified due to her actions.
You are literally talking about the same woman who treated her late husband's son and her son's brother like shit. Julian was recognized as John's son but Yoko never gave him that treatment and she treated him as if he were an illegitimate son, throwing away her husband's things to the garbage so that Julian could recover them.
She doesn't have a strong soul, just hatred, power and money.

@@Threeleebird Yes. Even now Jackie De Shannon announced on a Beatles radio show that Yo ko was putting together a tribute at Strawberry Fields to John's relationship's love of her and with his son Sean. All hype as he continued to see Mae Pang up till 6 months before his death and actually never broke up with Pang. No mention of mentioning Julian as his son or Cynthia at all. What a selfish person. And a hypocrite. Even Olivia Harrison in the LIMW documentary mentioned George's relationship with Patti.
I couldn’t help but jump on the hate bandwagon not knowing the full story, and not being willing to open my mind to Yoko. But tonight’s video dive has made me realise, I can understand why John was in love with her. She is a very conscious, aware and strong woman.
Same, same. I mostly just wasn’t fond of her singing, but honestly, I love who she is as a person and what doors she opened as a concept artist now that I’m giving her a more open-hearted and factual review
Thank you for being open minded You would love my book - In Your Mind :The Infinite Universe of Yoko Ono. The true story of her incredible life!
Its amazing she can walk and talk straight. She heard the five bullets come out of the gun, saw him fall and say im shot. Saw the killer and waited for the help to arrive. How horrible.
she was already in the building when He was shot.
@@lepetitchat123 no she was NOT! the doorman gave his statement to the police. Yoko is lucky to be alive. The pos even said he wanted to kill John earlier in the morning but Sean was present.
@The_PurpleApple you bunch of imbeciles. Go read what really happened lmao
Ofcourse horrible. Millions of people have experienced this and had to move on . What other choice do you have ?
Don't worry about her. She used his blood stained glasses asa cover of her debut album. He was just a cash cow for her.
My left ear is lonely and it makes it sad 😢😭
Ringo Hendrix lol
Thank you for saying that. I was wondering why I couldn't hear anything. I only had one earphone on.
Me too.
Haha my right ear is lonely.
Thavks
I love how she says his spirits still alive
Wen. Looks money 💰
He died on the same date as my mother December the 8th 22 years before. I think that is amazing. She always communicated to me through music, it was where we were at peace. Music is like that it's energy that runs off the movement of the earth but it's not quite of the earth, it's the in-between, it's what's in the middle of what is here and there, it's where one person finds the other. Mother is music.
hello friend, I truly hope you know that you are always loved and supported. Stay strong out there. keep being you. ❤️
@@mikehunt5134 🥰
This is strange: Mary Queen of Scott’s was born on December 8th.
@@ccasey1904 So was Jim Morrison.
She is right... The Beatles were growing apart, she did not split them.
But she did help to split them. John said he USED HER to help him split from his wife and from The Beatles, so...she did help to split them!
Edited to add: And she was happy to do it, so there's that.
Why was she in the studio For? Lol oh oh ok. You don’t know.
Ronnie Bishop neither do you. It is impossible for us to imagine being the biggest band in the world and living under such an enormous pressure. You do not have to love her (neither do I) but for gods sake stop blaming her for stuff she’s not responsible for. She even admitted being a catalyst, but she is definitely not the sole reason
Trafalger D. Water Law I did hear her sing I did hear her music I did see her with John and Chuck Berry and I still wander why someone with absolutely zero talent would be in the studio with the biggest band in the world and I’m 99% closer to knowing than you are lol and you talk as if you knew them hahaha. You’re a joke!
Water Falls 🤦🏻♀️ Exactly. Which means John had already wanted out. So did the rest of them. Paul was willing to make it work, but it just couldn't be dine anymore
John Lennon was a minus figure when it came to being a father to Julian. He made it very apparent who was more important....Sean over Julian. Yoko Ono fought Julian over so many things of his dad's. He had to purchase these things himself rather than Yoko just giving him items that belonged to his dad. The only good thing that came out of this is that Julian has gotten passed all of the mess he had to go through with her; which she should be ashamed of by the way. He loves his brother very much and has said in many interviews, that he had to let it go because it hurt Sean. Yoko used her son as a pawn to get her way. She should be so ashamed of herself.
@@kalt4689 lol he’s 100% right you absolute Neanderthal
He supported Julian. I don't trust Cynthia Powell one bit. All she ever did was complain.
They should have all gone on the Jerry Springer show and duked it out. Would have been fun to watch
You dont know where she is coming from..you have to know her personally to Judge her
@@Melons-vg8dq your wrong its public record that he left him zero. he had to fight 10 years to even get a settlement. look it up. shes vile beyond belief. omfg. i had every intention of giveng her the benefit of the doubt. All this peace and passive bullshit. shes fucking awful. that poor lad was shit on by john but more importantly her. The poor man even had to buy his own letters from an auction. As soon as she had settled after the 16 years. she sold all julians things from his dad///she makes me feel sick that i had sympathy for the hate she endured..the hate was justified. VILE
Really no one knows what is in anyone’s marriage but them. All the books and speculations are just that. People forget though that she is a crime victim after he was shot in front of her. Its amazing she can talk normally.
John was shot behind her. She was busy running faster than speeding bullets, even before they started to fly!
Water Falls
Yes that's true, and also they did not go inside of the building. But parked outside the curb, plus there was no bodyguards that night, doesn't that sound funny to you.
She put the bloody glasses john wore when he was murdered on the cover of her first album.... says enough about the kind of person she is
melissa cammaert lol call me when you see Mayhem’s Dawn of the Black Hearts cd cover
BECAUSE she is a sociopath ..they have no feelings..and no remorse she had a lover ugh..imagine waking up next to her..he must be well paid...
You know I think people would have warmed to Yoko had she treated Julian better after Johns death, for Julian to have to buy letters and cards John wrote him etc was a disgrace. Julian, the first born son should be entitled to half of everything once she leaves this world, I so hope Sean shares the wealth when this happens, Sean seems a nice guy
Part of this has to go on John for allowing it while he was alive and not setting up the will for Julian.
LOL Sean is like his mother. Lives off his dead father's name. Sean is not gonna share with Julian. Hes a trust fund baby, with no fuckin talent. Like his vile mother.
@@williammorales8204 i agree but she could have not let julian fight for his settlement for over 10 years, he is such a lovely guy. she sold stuff of julians from john at auction rather than give them to julian
@@mrmagoo7524 that was a kyht move on her part.
Julian lied A LOT about things. He had fans buying John's stuff at auction because he said he never got anything (which was not true) and then he sold the stuff. So there is that deceit
No mention that he was MARRIED when they met. No mention that Cyn was on vaca and when she got home Ono was sitting in Cyn's house in a bathrobe! No mention of Cynthia at all!
Probably because Yoko is a venomous creature.
And to think neither Yoko or John thought anything of doing this in this manner. Yoko knew what she was gaining while doing and had no guilt or respect for Cynthia.
@Wysteria - I agree. I will always love John Lennon’s music. Maybe he would’ve grown more as a person and tried to repair some of the damage had he lived to an older age. Who knows. But I can’t respect him or Yoko for how they got together and treated others in the process. The most hypocritical part to me was their belief they were some kind of crusaders for world peace. Their behavior of deception, disrespect, and lies is what creates wars in the first place.
finster1968 That situation is something which laid on the minds of people heavily everywhere. John and Yoko played for "PEACE" in the world after making the worst unrest to Cynthia and Julian.....John and Yoko struck the nerve of peace alright,,,,DOWN ie..... afterward wanted to uplift for "PEACE",,,,a real cover up for what they did one might think??? John said one time, meaning Yoko, "she is my teacher"....so in the end she really did teach him well, didn't she🐍❗
@Wysteria - Agreed!
5:34 It's remarkable that she was able to find Paul McCartney to ask him for a manuscript when she'd never heard of him, what are the odds?
In reality he would be easy to find. It is false that she ever said she hadn’t heard of The Beatles. She said she didn’t know their names other than Ringo which means apple in Japanese. I find this believable knowing her time was spent in an art world and not everyone knew their names.
@@jamesschwartz3837 Just so: that means she found a house belonging to a man whose name she didn't know, and approached it in the _hope_ that a songwriter lived there. It's been two years, but I still think it's uncanny.
😉 Come on. Anyway, it's an entertaining interview. If you haven't heard it, I recommend her interview on the BBC radio programme 'Desert Island Discs', it's good. Have a good weekend. 🌿
She’s an incredible artist and human. John’s estate has been handled so well by her and Sean. They prevent it from becoming tacky and corporate. They have such great taste in design, color, sound, etc….so whenever they release something from Lennon’s catalog, they do it with such class and taste.
Inconvenient truth-Yoko was living (in the Dakota) with Sam Havadtoy when this was filmed. He moved in in 1981 and stayed until 2001 (so, with Yoko far longer than John). No secret. They even did a major magazine interview together in 1990, where they discussed their relationship and living at the Dakota. He's now been erased from history as the Lennon/Yoko fairytale myth makes $$$ and keeps media/fan interest. Havadtoy and Yoko were certainly seeing each other before John's murder too.
Thank you; Yoko Ono and Sean Lennon are going to write again Lennon's story and erase a lot of things and the baby boomers won't last long, n people will forget
Mind you, my right ear wholeheartedly enjoyed this interview.
She seems warmer in this interview than in most of her other interviews.
People talk a lot of smack about Yoko and whatnot. I'm not a fan of her music or her 'art", but who cares? At the end of the day, this is a woman who witnessed her husband getting murdered in cold blood and that's something I'll never take away from her. I've always felt bad for her and never would want to endure what she had to.
Everyone felt bad for Yoko and John's boys after his horrific murder, and provided a protective embrace for her because of that tragedy. Yoko basked and glowed in the protective embrace but lost it when she chose to behaved like an entitled bitch and cruel stepmother toward John's firstborn son. It was completely deliberate and unnecessary and thus, ushered back in the wariness people felt towards her.
Let's not forget about julian and cynthia
We won't. And we won't let Yoko forget either, although she's tried.
thanks for your pointless nonsequituir
Ella también dejo su esposo y su niña, así que diríamos que John también los separo
Dude people fall out of love. Atleast he didn’t cheat and had a big affair.
He was 21 when he married her and didn't really want to. She felt entitled to a lifetime of support
What a wonderful interview , Yoko quite the lady. I once met her in L.A and she was just as sweet in person.
You would love my book - In Your Mind :The Infinite Universe of Yoko Ono. The true story of her incredible life!
This is a really good interview (good questions from the panel too). Thank you!
Thank guy so much for your support, the support of wonderful fans like you keep me going and strong❤
Yoko is very cultured, you can tell from the way she speaks that she came from a very prominent family and she had excellent education.
It's not the 1700s. You can't tell who is or isn't from a "prominent family" based on the way they speak.
You spelled witch wrong.@@user-rw2dr5my1s
I believe that they loved each other.
It's 2022 and my heart still breaks. The world lost the best of the best. 😪
Hello Dianne,
How're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
I'm not a Beatles fan but I remember John's death announcement in '80. How can your heart still be breaking in '22 over someone you never knew? People lose close family members 40 yrs ago & put that in perspective. He was a talented musician. Period.
You know, I gotta say, even though she sang like shit and looked really weird in the later Beatles pictures/films with John Lennon just sitting there, when you hear her talk in these interviews she _really_ sounds nice. I feel a sense of warmth about her, and it definitely shows that she loved John deeply. I think maybe it just looked weird to people back then, because you had all these British guys in a rock band, and then you had this random Asian woman standing there in the middle, and she looked a little something like the girl in the Ring. xD
Just goes to show, you shouldn't judge a book by its cover.
Of course she seems warm and sounds really nice in these interviews, she's finally happy. She has everything she wanted and set out to get from John (except mega stardom, she's a P-Lister at best) when she stalked him for fame. She has all the shine and attention, all of the control (like when John was alive, but without his clingy neediness), all of the money, and she doesn't have to share any stage or compete with charismatic John (in his spotlight) anymore. Have you seen her in the interviews they did while he was alive? Always butting in to answer for him, so he'd parrot whatever sentiment she wanted the public to believe. She wasn't all warm and fuzzy, or happy back then...Just competitive for his limelight.
She couldn't of loved John that much as she was about to divorce him. She then stopped the divorce because he started writing songs again. Right after his death she moved her boyfriend into the dekota. Who cut his hair in lennon style even wearing John's clothing. Yoko was a cia handler who completely controlled his life through heroin and black magic. Sad but true
@@waterfalls5194 you're a supreme idiot
@@matthewshelley7724 No it was just a separation because of his Infidelity.. it was John that came begging back.
@@ritapita1126 have you heard may pang speak about how controlling Yoko was? Not only that why hasn't she given julian any part of John's estate? She's a gold digging witch.
Its been 40 years... She hasnt married. That was her one and only true love. You go yoko
Didnt she get married 3 times?
@@QueenofNonSequitur 3 times
She's had a live in lover since 1981. Can't think of his name now. Sam something.
Lol of course, she doesnt wanna share the money she leeched out of John, even after his death
She openly said she had an affair with Hillary Clinton...she seems so lost in herself...sadly.
A strong character stood the test of time ❤ Mrs Lennon is 91 yrs old last Feb 18. Happy belated Madam..🎉
I hope you will read my Yoko Ono biography: In Your Mind - The Infinite Universe of Yoko Ono - Conceptual Books
So sad that Yoko and everyone no longer have John physically in our lives. Sad, when John created beautiful music that we continue to enjoy. Thank you for this post.
He was a very nasty person to be around, not a nice guy
@@twistedgamer9167 You're nasty if you think that
@@Dante-nn2zm Lmao he probably was nasty to be around. Drugs does wonders to a person, but not in a good way 🤣
@@Dante-nn2zmlook how he treated his first-born
She’s an incredible woman. When the interviewer asks if the other Beatles contacted her when John died, she says that some did and some didn’t without naming names, and understands that they were all processing it in their own way. Yoko always was and always will be about peace and love.
She's a pretentious bag. She's more gracious now, but I absolutely despise that she had to be the one John fell for. Absolutely nothing incredible about her at all.
Bless Yoko, such a strong woman considering all the slander she had against her by the press, which always demonizes women when they could.
She is the demon
nobody demonizes her. she has no talent. look at that "voice piece for soprano three" garbage she did at an art show. Give me a break.
Beatle fans in the 60s used to talk bad about her and I think most of them do till this day.. From what I see in this interview she's a very polite and nice lady.
haha Edgar and you area prize FOOL
@@TheScouser1234 ha ha deborah. you are a moron. what did a moron like you ever do to make the world a better place. did you advocate for peace, the environment , womens rights or the democratization of art. you are such a moronc fool

What good is advocating for peace in public and performing war on children in private? What good is advocating for women's rights when you don't respect other women's marriages and willingly participate in the destruction of their families? That's called HYPOCRISY which calls into question ones credibility and real agenda.
@@nonebusiness4488 You are Yoko's paid shill hack, defender of the indefensible.🗣️💩🤑!
Edgar, she is detested.
What a woman. Interesting is a gross understatement. Truly fascinating.
I like that Yoko is helping children with the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus. And supporting Dyslexic children. John Lennon was a proud Dyslexic and Free Thinker.
cool. i didnt know he was dyslx. maybe i forgot
How could he sign his name or draw?
He wasn't dyslexic.
She preaches peace but never could manage just that with John's first born son Julian. Shame.
She seems lovely. Stop hating people you don’t even know. Try loving people you don’t even know, like you do John.
She convinced John to make her and her son the sole beneficiaries of John Lennon's will, purposefully cutting Julian Lennon out of his inheritance. It took 16 years of court to reward Julian a measely $25 million out of the rightful amount of 25% of the entire estate, which would have been valued around $200 million.
The worst part of the entire thing is that Yoko Ono auctioned off John Lennon's belongings instead of asking Julian if he wanted to keep any of them. She auctioned off letters between Julian and his father. Julian had to use his settlement money to buy those letters back.
She's a sick, manipulative woman. The hate is fully justified.
I tried doing that and still got hated on. 🤣🤪
I never understood the hate for Yoko. She seems a very kind and intelligent woman. I wish I could find someone like that.
she's nasty piece of work.
Look in ads for Heroin Addicts
Well, first you have to become the most famous musician of the day. Then you'll be amazed how many users and climbers will follow you around and prostrate themselves before you and never let you out of their sight. You'll be treated very carefully as the golden goose!
@@charwest9449 but he loved her and I don’t think she’s been with anyone since his death right?
@@mojopin1997 Gosh, I hope this doesn't disillusion you too badly, but she moved her new boyfriend, Sam Havadtoy, in a day or two after John was murdered. Rumour has it they were married in Hungary before too long.
Okay she looks so gooooooood in this interview. She’s wearing something from 2021 😤😤
I love it. I think Porsche makes those ski goggles.
Yes she is wearing the glasses that John bought for her so she feels close to him - nice brain stem you have.
She is fundamentally really not nice that’s the problem.
Must be odd for Sean who has a father who is revered and a mother who is detested.
Having said that, over the years my opinion of John has gone down and down - especially because of the horrible way he treated Julian, something she was very happy to contribute to.
You're in no position to judge John. So we don't care about your opinion of him
John was an asshole ALL BY HIMSELF.
@@ClassicRock1973 freedom of speech here allows us to offer our opinions and thoughts on all subjects. Lennon was no deity and is fair game for anyone who cares to weigh in. [it was hypocritical of you to judge pip by telling her she was in no position to judge which of course is a judgment in itself]
@@ClassicRock1973 Who says? John turned into a complete asshole. It isn`t exactly some hidden fact.
Who gives a fuck about your opinion? Lmao!
A lot of people don't stop to think that John Lennon was just another human. He had feelings of pain and jealousy as we all do. The best thing to happen to John was Yoko. Her words were used for the imagine lyrics. John was so great at putting words together with music and creating such emotions inside all of us.
Basically they were a perfect couple for each other. Sorry for such a huge loss. She had to share him with all of us but all he wanted was her.
You are forgetting he did have another wife and son before yoko. He was an unfaithful husband to his first wife . Dont talk about him as though this man was a saint because he wrote popular music. He had a very nasty side to him.
@@lee-annebarrett366 she literally starts off by saying he’s another human - never said he was a saint, are you dumb? He later said he regretted it & its not surprising that if you’re the most famous person in the world at 23 you end up cheating on your wife. Get real
@@Azoria4 Lennon fucked anything with a pulse! Cheated on Cynthia and Yoko with lots of women.
@@OCTOBERBABY7901 who’d he cheat on yoko with except may pang?
@@OCTOBERBABY7901 Apparently George was the most promiscuous of the bunch.
People need to get to know the real facts and stop putting the responsability to the Beatles' break-up on Yoko's shoulders. When they broke up, they had been together as a band for almost 10 years, so they knew what they were doing. They wanted to be independent, to create, produce and release stuff without a constant need of assessment and approval from their three other bandmates. People say the break-up was Yoko's responsability as if the Beatles were a bunch of 12-year-old naive stooges. Oh please...
Dang!!!! YOKO is strong!!! God Bless you Yoko!!!
Right, they couldn't even hear themselves play crowds so INSANE.
Yoko Ono made a generous donation of John Lennon’s cassette with his song “Now and Then” written and demoed by John Lennon at his home studio in the mid/late 1970s. Should we consider Yoko Ono to be a generous selfless philanthropist to benefit the history of music and promote the welfare of others?
John Lennon's cassette was worthless remaining in Yoko Ono's possession. Why did she give it away?
Todd Lowry, Former Music Business Attorney, wrote the following facts 4 years ago:
Yoko Ono controls the estate of John Lennon. She receives royalties for “Come Together” and for every other Beatles’ song credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
The vast majority of those songs are controlled by Sony/ATV Music. Any song-writing royalties for Lennon/McCartney compositions are split equally between Paul McCartney and John Lennon’s estate. Even the song “Yesterday,” which Paul wrote by himself, and who was the only Beatle to sing or play on, is split 50/50 with half of the royalties going to John, because the song was credited to John Lennon and Paul McCartney.
The copyright on those songs won’t expire for many years to come, so Yoko will continue to receive royalties until she passes and then, presumably, the estate will go to Sean Lennon (or maybe even poor Julian Lennon will finally get some consideration).
That’s cool that she did that. I hope the two could be able to slit the royalties evenly. That’s only fair and John most likely would have wanted it that way when that time comes.
They’re relationship was different? There’s other ways to describe it but I do believe they loved each other even if the way they got together was through cheating, I don’t like John nor do I really like Yoko but I do respect how much they fought for the beliefs they had. I don’t think she split the Beatles up of course John probably finally saw a reason to leave but they were all obviously fed up.
Reading these comments really shows that some people don’t understand that John wanted peace and not for his wife to be insulted?
John told Elliot Mintz that people could say what they wanted about her music. They have every right to not to want her in their record collection. What upset him was when they insulted her looks. Well, maybe if she had combed her hair they wouldn't have. I actually thought she was cute after she cut her hair and combed it . I am not talking about if I like her or don't like her - just talking about her looks.
What is it with her glasses she looks like a spaceship
they are trying to hide her ugly face
I'm pretty sure her brain is a spaceship, and left her as soon as it could.
She looks like an astronaut with her eye glasses. Hahaha
It must’ve been in style back then
She's just hit the slopes guys
Giving 'family' peace a chance would of been a respectful, loving start. Walk the talk.
yoko ono, prominent 20th century peace activist and conceptual artist. what a legacy
Yoko and John loved each other. Cynthia and John loved each other. People grow and sometimes go their separate ways. Just think how it would be to have your every mood examined by everyone.
We have an absurd attitude toward famous people. They need to be allowed to have a life w/o being constantly being subject to crazy fans grabbing at them. This goes for all public figures. We still have not learned even in the face of events like tragedy w Lady Dianna. People need to get real and love the people w/o making their lives a living hell.
Ehn… I’m sure Cynthia and John loved each other once, but she kept the Lennon name even after marrying 3 other men over the years, to cling to Lennon’s fame (only to later accuse him of abuse for attention and money long after he died), and she kinda pitted her son against his father. She doesn’t seem like a particularly nice person- I certainly wouldn’t want an ex treating me and my loved ones that way. I don’t wish her any ill-will, but I never understood why people smeared Ono and didn’t just look at the facts of Cynthia’s behavior, especially after her book tour that was basically a big smear campaign against Lennon in 2005. She gives serious Amber Heard vibes. Julian her son seems sweet, but I can’t for the life of me understand why she was so aggressive towards the rest of John Lennon’s remaining family and Lennon’s own imagine so many years after he died.
pray for Yoko, she lost her husband.
When she said “some came, some didn’t” about the other Beatles visiting her after his death, George was definitely the one that didn’t visit. I can’t imagine Paul or Ringo not showing up for support
No it was Paul, he was Jealous of the attention John got after his death
@@twistedgamer9167 he wasn’t jealous,
He was stunned
I believe (but then I wasn't there or alive at the time so maybe incorrect) Ringo went to see her very soon after
Shit I guess I was wrong. I for sure thought that Paul would have set aside any negative feelings toward her or John. George ended on bad terms with John and never really liked Yoko from what I’ve read.
Ringo showed up in person the others did not
Yoko you are a wonderful person love, peace, you bring it and people connect to you. Love you so much sweet Yoko
My right ear enjoyed this a lot...
A very pleasant video, in times of so much conflict, a beacon of hope. ❤
I thought my neighbor was torturing his cat..... nope it was Yoko singing on the radio.
didnt you say that about wild honey pie?
Funny !
Does he do that often?
it actualiy sounds like whales when they are urinating and noised they make
Ahahahahahahaha
Well,✌️✌️✌️
I must say and admit that without YOKO 😢John wouldn’t have been able to write ✍️ IMAGINE 🎵✌️🎵✨ ✌️🎵✌️🎵✨✨🎵✌️
Just from this brief glimpse, I can see why John Lennon loved Yoko Ono. She comes across as bright, strong and beautiful.
Lol
How the fuck she not know who John Lennon or Paul were? the Beatles were bloody massive around the world.
How to f do you not know she was a private school student in her own world and they were barely a blip on her radar. You brainstem is bloody massive blocking out the cerebellum.
This Women was in pieces when Mark chapman killed John pieces, give her credit why don,t you. Yoko loves all of her children, and feels more closer to them since the death of her husband. yoko is 85 years old now an old lady and has carried the guilt with her ever since, butnever gives up on herself and kids.
People need to get over it and move on. Nobody can look into a person and know them especially public people. Their own personal feelings are their own. We don't own anyone's life. John did what he wanted to do. He was not a puppet to Yoko. He sought her out and was cheating on Cyn way before Yoko because of being portrayed as a singlean and all of the Beatles have history. It was the 60's , single guys,musicians on the road, get a clue.
Leave it alone.
John loved her and hated everyone being cruel to her. John was too young when he had Julian and yes treated him badly but sitter this and was sorry about it. He said he did not want yo make same mistakes w his second son. He was more mature and learned by his experiences in life like we all do. We are all human
Not everyone handles fame well.
Very intelligent and articulated, and very courteous answering the questions that were not nice.
Yoko is a generous, strong and brave woman.
" John, who's the poison dwarf?" ~ John's Aunt Mimi.
Aunt Mimi was the poison one - the spiteful old bat didn't like his first wife Cynthia either, and boycotted the wedding. She was also cruel to John's mother Julia, calling social services on her so that John would be taken from her and she could raise him. Mimi was a bitch - poor Julia couldn't fight her for her son because she was a single parent living with a man who was not John's father. Mimi exploited this to gain power over her little boy John.
@@glamdolly30 To me Aunt Mimi seems to be a narcissist but it's just my impression. People who love their family members don't do all those things you wrote about. I saw that 1981 interview with her and read about her life... I felt some bad vibes around that lady.
My right ear enjoyed this interview...
Where's Julian in the family picture.
He's not part of their family. Her family, at least.
I know but I find it sad. Whats even sadder is John drew this family portrait.
julian used to come to my restaurant in Hollywood ..sweetest guy in the world .we had long chats about that evil scumbag..he asked for one of His dad's guitars..she REFUSED ..EVIL BITCH
@@TheScouser1234 how do you know this you freakish dingbat. yoko ono spent her life advocating for peace, the environment, womens' rights and the democratization of art. what did a piece of shit like you who imagines you are so superior ever do to make the world a better place. yoko was the orginator of the bed in for peace. what did a moron like you ever do.
Yoko performs her phony "Lady Bountiful" act for the public, and advocates for peace. In private she performs 'War On Children' and other people she believes gets in her way.
I wish he peace of mind and lots of love always best in health Yoko, Mrs. Lennon .💝
Yoko is a very beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle woman and she had nothing to do with the Beatles splitting up!!! Money and bad management, among other things, split the Beatles up!!!!! Yoko and John Lennen were Twin Flames you can see it now???? So when she says " I feel John he's with me"" ....then you can understand that she and John had an intense spiritual connection that can never die even from physical death......
eventually she admits she knew who The Beatles were...amen!
Mimi John exactly..
she never said she never heard of the beatles, she said she didn't know who john was when she met him . DUH. DUH. DUH. what is your psycho issue. nothing could be more simple than the sentences she makes unless you have feathers in your head
Huh ?
@@nonebusiness4488 everybody like to imagine her as the bad girl, but she wasnt.
@@annperez6399 there’s so much sexism and racism rooted in the “Yoko broke up the Beatles” narrative. It’s ugly and embarrassing. She was right in what she said, the band were all moving further and further apart, it’s apparent in the music, long before her arrival. Those guys were so young, living in a pressure cooker since they were literal kids, an individual person didn’t cause this. Yoko was already an established artist when she met John and has continued to be whoever the fuck she wants to be for 90 years. She’s a glorious kook who has made some amazingly shambolic art full of heart her entire life.
she still feels married to JOhn? is that why she moved her boyfriend into the Dakota apt within days of john's murder??
that was a friend, not a boyfriend.. u believe to much in craptalk,
*"that was a friend, not a boyfriend... u believe to much in craptalk,"*
Sam Green and Sam Havadtoy was two of Yoko's lovers while John was alive and living at the Dakota. She was smitten with Green, and even thought of divorcing Lennon to take up with Green, but he decided he didn't want to be her boyfriend anymore (she suffocated him too much and demanded too much high maintenance attention). Sam Havadtoy was then promoted. The night of John's murder Yoko moved Havadtoy into the Dakota and into her bed, where he stayed and they lived happily and luxuriously, like husband and wife on John's hard earned dime for the next twenty years. Havadtoy was able to retire and return to his native Hungary a very wealthy man after signing Yoko's non disclosure agreement. You've drank Yoko's Kool-aid and haven't done any research.
You mean that "pussy grabbing creeperzoid" residing in the White House? No way would I give that phony cretin any of my hard earned if I could avoid it. YOU luxx_interior need to do research regarding John and Yoko. Theirs marriage was no "Bed-In of roses". Their marriage was in tatters and a sham but Yoko wouldn't let go of the perks of being Mrs Lennon to a rich world famous she controlled completely.
MAGA!
Moron's Are Governing America?
Amen to that.
Yoko, you are a beautiful spirit. You brought out the best in John. May his spirit live on ❤️
Hello Kimberly,
How're you doing?
Your comments caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
Thank you!
It's nice meeting you here.
it is some high quality material she is made of.
I still grieve the death of John. He was so beautiful & left such a beautiful imprint on our world. I think Yoko is beautiful, wonderful & I wish her all the best.
TELL IT... THE TRUTH
Your right yoko san his spirit is still alive...
I can see why John fell in love with her.
John and Yoko always seemed like 2 peas in a pod; true soul mates to me.
A most genuine, sincere woman. Bless you! I cringe listening to the host... ugh
Je me pose toutefois la question suivante depuis le Bed’ in à Montréal le 26 Mai 1969: » » »Comment John Lennon et Yoko pouvaient-ils chanter et demander de: » » » Donner une chance à la paix » » »; quand ils ont tellement négligés le fils aîné (Julian Lennon)???-Évidemment Yoko Ono essaiera de rapprocher les deux fils de John vers 2009; mais environ vingt-neuf ans après la mort de John.-Il m’aurait semblé que nous balayons devant notre porte, avant de tenter de faire du ménage dans le monde!!!-Viviane. (13-05-2020)
Good interview
I thought my headphone just broke lmao
Dude same
Haha me too
They didn’t grow apart, look up there interviews. John was infouenced by yoko, it’s insane
Never get between a dog and his meat.
All these women in the audience shooting Yoko daggers 😐
She’s a very intelligent woman, great outlook on life.
Ok I’m 66 and I’m a fan of Sean Ono Lennon 😘
When we die, our spirit is somewhere. Heaven or Hell. No in between.
Haha you people are so deluded. Just because you’ve read a few books that state Lennon didn’t want to be cremated doesn’t mean it’s so. He only had a fear of being alive when cremated, like most people do.
Yoko and he probably discussed it more than any biographer and he ever did.
Pete Hall__BULL!
He wanted to work with Paul again, and SHE SHUT HIM DOWN 5 YEARS as "Mother" who must be obeyed! It was never about what HE wanted. It was ALWAYS about what SHE wanted!
Yeah. John Lennon the push over 😂
People mag said he did not. So she had it done right after cold blooded murder Hello people.
@@waterfalls5194 wake up. Money couldnt be that important. However it seems to be some peoples first love. Cold murder. Coverup. Even thou you can see it coming in the Imagine video.
@@julieventura5867 Did you intend your comment to me? Because I basically agree with you. Are you talking about the 'Imagine' movie? I must rewatch since it's been a long time.
Is she close to her son Sean? I get the feeling she is very close to him.
She manipulates and controls Sean, but she is his mother and he loves her. She tries to hog his little limelight too like she did John's.
Actually, I have never listened to his music. I was raised on listening to his father’s music and The Beatles. My father loves The Beatles. I have actually listened to a couple of Julian’s songs. He sounds just like his father to me.
John's wealth allowed them to be together 24/7. Yokonwould not let John breath, nor the Beatles when she was 24/7 in the studio singing out "John, John, .......John....John, John, John".
More like: "john...John...JOHN!...JOHN!..JAHHWWNN!! JAAHHWWNN!!! *JAAHHWWNN!!!"*
All while Paul was composing and others were working, which was cut from the original "Let It Be film. But it's on youtube in "Lennon-McCartney: The Break Up" which is part of the 'Understanding Lennon/McCartney" 5 chapter series by Breathless345.
Yes, that was Yoko deliberately being a pain in the ass because Paul, George and Ringo vetoed her becoming the only female Beatle for her to get quick, instant, easy fame off of their back, after years of their hard struggle to get it. She had some nerve, and now she is still a thorn in their sides (Paul and Ringo) and they have to "make nice" because she's their business partner in Apple. (smh shame on John)
I Love that for the first time I saw yoko’s Face..not ALL hairs cascading down
John wasn't Yoko's first husband dude. Awks. 3:14
John was Yoko's 3rd husband!
or her last
RIP John, so sad for Ono and family.
Thank guy so much for your support, the support of wonderful fans like you keep me going and strong ❤
When was the date of this interview? I wish they would say the date of these things
The interviewer says "it's been six years since his death...", so must be 1986, but nothing more specific. :)
Colin Luckens the book was published 10 Oct 1986. Yoko says here she likes to celebrate john's birthday. so I guess the interview is early October between the 1st and the 10th and in 1986.
Yes 1986 6 years After his death
Ok thanks Natasha!! :)
Colin Luckens :-)
I died when she would just occasionally throw a peace sign throughout the interview.
Haven’t seen Yoko in years. Anyone knows about her whereabouts?
Why did John leave Julian out of will???
John DIDN'T leave Julian out of his will. John gave Yoko his power of attorney for business purposes and convenience, which she used to legally remove Julian, and John's half sisters, Julia and Jackie, and his aunt Mimi who raised him, from John's will. She didn't tell John she did it, and he wouldn't have thought to ask her about it. What's more, she claimed John left Julian out of his will, so the world would blame John and not her. She's the master of the hidden hand. She used John in the most diabolical way, so I don't believe that she ever loved him. She's like a sociopath.
I read this comment literally the moments she said “we believe in peace” 😟
Let's all ask her.
he was neglectful. he probably never thought about it because he was neglectful and had no idea his life would end so abruptly. he probably didn't think it was really something he had to address immediately. all part of his overall neglect towards julian
@@westiekid8400 why would you listen to a nut job yammering moronic racist hate at yoko when you could listen to her yourself firsthand.
She’s selling Johns sketches. She couldn’t give Julian a few?
There is a saying that no homewrecker can take a person unless he is willing to be taken. A person is no robot and no object, everyone has the free will to stay in a marriage or go! Blaming the perceived "homewrecker", in this case Yoko, is just pure ignorance! The truth is his marriage with Cynthia was over and done with way before John met Yoko, even if they were not yet legally divorced. John would have stayed with Cynthia, had their marriage been happy and solid, but it wasn't and that is why he left, regardless whether the trigger was Yoko or some other woman! John left Cynthia because the marriage was over, period! If Yoko didn't come along, it would have been another woman!
But any man or woman can manipulate through sex or drugs with a person who has a drug habit or sexual addiction or who is otherwise vulnerable.
I think it's time to leave this woman alone with the criticisms and horrible words, at the end of the day she was johns wife and he loved her
People love to blame all the problems of the world on women. Just because she couldn’t stop him from being killed doesn’t mean she was complicit. Those who make negative assumptions have no evidence for their claims, as they were not personally involved.
Yoko is a warm and gentle spirit who is truly passionate about art and world peace. She does not act high and mighty like a famous person would. I think she is a blessing.
I've always admired Yoko Ono's art, it is after all, art. Just as John's work, the Beatles work, Julian's, and Sean's work all become art. I remember that day when John Lennon was assassinated very well, it was the first time for a musician I cared about died. From books I've read I believe John & Yoko did love each other and I think she has done his memory well. I do not think Yoko Ono was a reason whatsoever the Beatles called it quits. Listen to the last couple of recordings they released or any of the last few recording sessions. They were eager to see what the could do solo.
Theoretically you could take a shit in an empty room and call it art. Question is - how much is it worth?
@@Malapropify Not sure, I've never bought shit.
I totally agree with you.
Imagine no possessions. Hear that Yoko?
She's tone death
She never has to worry like you who sleeps in a tent.
ty for this video. Yoko, you shine. Keep shining. Yes. He is with us still, and you are still the love of his life. :)
Yoko, always poised, elegant and beautiful.
-poised, elegant and beautiful- untalented gold-digging goblin. Fixed it for you.
@@bigtechisbigbrother8690 I suppose you could hold your head up better after your world-famous spouse gets assassinated, leaving a four year old behind. Yoko is a survivor. You're a hater. She wins!
@@stellarocquie7957 She's an untalented moocher whose "performances" consist of screeching, grunting and convulsing like an epileptic aardvark. And stop upvoting your own comments, it's lame.
Insanity that John is somewhere up there. I am glad Mrs. Lennon treasurers her name. XO
Hello Susan
How're you doing today?
Your comment caught my attention and that is why I am reaching out to you.
He still lives in me!
It's nice meeting you here.
@@julianlennon... It's NOT nice meeting you here. Hit the road.
Weird that she starts smiling as soon as John died. Weird.
