    John Lennon Lost Weekend (John Lennon - Los Angeles 1973-1975)
    Few people have had a more profound influence on 1960's pop culture music than John Lennon. With Paul McCartney, he's one half of arguably the greatest songwriting partnership of all time. With the Beatles, he claimed to be "more popular than Jesus." He was one of the most famous anti-war advocates of his time, and his solo career spawned such time-tested hits that the merest mention of the word "imagine" is likely to make that song play in your head.
    In the summer of 1973, John Lennon's marriage with Yoko Ono was in trouble. They were reeling from the commercial and critical disappointment of Lennon's Ono-produced Some Time in New York City, and Ono had said that the constant hate their union drew was slowly ruining their careers and her vibes. Ono wanted a break from the whole "she broke up the Beatles" narrative, and she needed one from Lennon, too. Her solution? She set Lennon up with a mistress, and so began what's known as: John Lennon Lost Weekend (John Lennon - Los Angeles 1973-1975)

    OK so I was 8 in 1980 I'd heard Beatles music my whole life having been raised by hair hippies,but I'd never payed attention. So double fantasy ✨ was being played by my mom over and over. One day my dad and I went a little ways down the road to pay the water bill. I remember hearing it on the radio. Don't know why but I cryed I guess because I saw dad cry a little, not something I seen often. That's when I became fascinated with the Beatles myself. The rest they say...

    There was some ancient Greek philosopher who said, "count no man as lucky till you know how his life turned out." And a more recent one who said,
    "There will be a man picked out as a youth and elevated to the highest position, and he will be counted as the luckiest of men. But in fact, he will prove to be the unluckiest." That one was by the Duke of Marlborough or somebody. The reason I write those here is self-evident.

    Lots of rare, unseen photos, very cool -- but stories can never capture the wit & wisdom of Dr Winston O'Boogie (John Lennon to those who don't know), let alone the depth of his awakened heart -- and for those below who criticize Yoko you simply do not know John or what they were really about: two souls matched in heaven yet condemned to earth (listen to "You Are Here" from Mind Games). He was my older brother in spirit so his murder was the worst (yet Reagan had lived just a couple months before when shot, argh, not fair karma) -- Walls and Bridges was his best, most enlightened music: #9 Dream says it all , though Mind Games is a close second -- what a pure musical genius and honest soul leading us to the Light where All You Need Is Love, and don't you forget it -- as the man said: "Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground" (Nobody Loves You (When You’re Down and Out) -- John Lennon 4ever!

    Back when the U.S. Immigration Dept. were trying to have John Lennon & Yoko Ono deported (early 1970's) my mother (who was a super Lennon fan) had me go all around neighborhoods where we lived with an official petition to stop the deportation. I recall walking around for hours with a clipboard, the petition and a pen. People asked why didn't my mother do it? - she was a working single-mom w/little time but she had her co-workers sign it. (Here's the best part of my story)> Recently I saw one of those petitions online! Someone kept it and the official envelope. *Remember what Lennon and Ono said: "All we want is some truth ..."

    My opinion? - The lost weekend is a myth - Some of his greatest work was done after his escape from Ono land, but Yoko having gained control over the money, soon reeled him back into her web and that was the last we heard from him - That house husband thing was a myth also, but at least Yoko got off Heroin long enough to go full term with Sean.

    As usual, Yoko is the problem...I'm tired of this worn thin story line even if it were May Pang. I was happy to watch "Get Back" and all that footage clearly shows that Yoko didn't cause the Beatles break-up. And besides that, they were a great band, but they were a band. And they were very young men and according to all of them, they really didn't want to continue that way. May Pang also says that Yoko set them up and she declined that, but then did take off with Lennon, so...really who cares? I just feel so grateful that there was such a band as the Beatles, and that Lennon was such a brutally honest person, and such a great artist...and mostly such a moving proponent of PEACE. I'm happy to have lived at this time for these reasons!

      She didn't break up the Beatles but she certainly kept John from reuniting with Paul. She's just generally an unpleasant human being, like when she had members of John's family evicted from their homes that John had bought for them. She tried her best to control John and well, she succeeded. She's still controlling his legacy to this day.

But again this isn't being said here. Why do people always do this time away from Yoko as a time of a lost weekend. It wasn't a lost time. He got his son back, he made great music, he even spent time with Paul. Things he didn't get to do when he was with Yoko. Because everything was in the time after that for Yoko and his second son. Yoko never wanted Julian really around.
