We were all a lot more honest & happy before the Internet was invented,and it continues to have an insidious effect on civilised societies all over the world.
The problem with all of Paul's revelations about Yoko is that they don't jive with her actions that we can prove. For instance, John died and his first son, Julian, was given very little in his will. Yoko was the executor of John's will. This is what's known as a conflict of interest. Julian sued, and Yoko fought him for 16 years before settling. That's wrong. No matter how you slice it, that's wrong.
If someone is named executor in a will, there is no conflict of interest. Their job is to distribute the proceeds of the estate as stated in the will. They don't get to change things more to their own liking. Suing over the wording and beneficiaries in a will can be done, but that has nothing to do with the executor. No matter how you slice it, you're wrong.
There's. No. Conflict. Of. Interest. , there. is. No. Law. That. Your. Kids. Automatically. Get. Your money. You can give your money to. A. One eyed. Donkey.
I can sort of understand how John Lennon could hook up with Yoko Ono in a man woman relationship for the how he could bring her on the stage have hard participate in music is beyond me is a musician myself I couldn't believe someone has talented has John Lennon was to put a no talent musically like her on stage I have the unfortunate experience John Lennon live on stage at the Fillmore East with Frank Zappa and the mothers of invention I want you put the bag over her head it was too much for for me Non Brown
What should he complain about ... The biggest catastrophe is not the end of the Beatles because many bands naturally come to an end. The worst thing ever is that John was murdered (Yoko has nothing to do with that). I guess that a vast majority would agree here. And so would Paul. All quarrels before that are Kinkerlitzchen (frills and furbelows).
Yoko has been difficult about the rights to sing songs Paul wrote alone. That’s one reason to be pissed off. She was also responsible for making his best friend a heroin addict for 10 years
He has to be because legally the creature represents John in all Beatles business and legal dealings...:)....I you got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow!
@@ooops372 He does miss John....but it's all the money and legal stuff she represents. Watch the Anthology which she had to sign off on. He tip toed around that issue very carefully otherwise she would have blocked the project. Like many of us, he will rejoice when she's gone. But then he (and we) have to deal with Sean.
Julian was once removed from the Lennon estate and somehow Yoko allowed him a bridge back into that realm of possibility being an heir along with Sean. Julian bears such close resemblance to his father Yoko probably felt she had to change her mindset about John's first son.
@@ericscottstevensYoko removed Julian. He had to sue her to get back in. Yoko forced May Pang to lie to John telling him Julian hadn’t called, and lie to Julian saying his dad was busy. Watch May Pang’s documentary. The stories are super disturbing.
It wasn’t until John went to LA with May that he was able to see Julian. In fact Julian and his mom came out to LA, and she and May became great friends. Because May was a respectful person who felt it was important Julian see his dad.
I used to think Yoko wasn’t too bad, but then i heard those May Pang stories, ugh. Yoko’s a schemer and a liar. Paul is being generous, he’s a class guy.
No one is mentioning how awful John was as well. The way he treated Julian was heartless and cruel. Yoko not giving him part of the inheritance was criminal. I'm glad that Sean and Julian are forging a relationship.
@@John-nz5vd It's on both of them. If she had truly loved John, she wouldn't have done that to his son. She just wanted control--especially over $$$. And there was lots of it.
@@TA-to7kt this is correct. As a histrionic personality, any competition to her being the center of attention would not be tolerable for Yoko! It did not matter that her artistic contribution to the Beatles was a negative value or that her main draw for John was that she provided a distraction that served to help John avoid his own personal demons. That is not love, but an unhealthy codependency.
@@kennethgarcia25 You do know Yoko admitted to being a witch so that could explain her hold on John. I couldn't imagine waking up to that each morning I'd jump off the roof!
Thank you for sharing this video. My main takeaway from it is not about John or Yoko, but rather about Paul as a very decent, sensitive, and intelligent person. God bless.
i guess aside from being racist and sexist he was all that. there was no reason she should not be in the studio, as john wished, contributing as a band member, contributing as an artist. that's what he wanted her there for. john wanted to work with yoko creatively the same way he wanted to work with paul. no difference except that paul was a woman hating racist, not like he minded asian women as long as they were just doing his laundry.
Before she met John Lennon, Yoko was heavily involved in the Avant Garde NYC art scene. There is NO WAY she could've gone that many years without ever knowing who The Beatles were. Absolutely ridiculous.😂
she was "associated" with the so-called Avant Garde NYC scene. But, like many "scenes" in the Art world, there's a few originals; there's a few iconoclasts and there's 100's of hangers-on, fakes and no-talents. Unfortunately for the general public, Press, Media, Pundits spin up 'scenes' for the sake of it and make them attractive enough to pull-in floating idiots; rich-kids with no life, and, cultural nomads. Ono was "part of" ( i.e. a insignificant satellite) of the Fluxus art movement/gang. Fluxus threw up some talented and interesting people (Beuys, Paik, Riley) But , like any new concept, it also had 100s of other "performers" that had no idea and no talent. Lennon got sucked in...and was quite rightly, intrigued with the idea of breaking convention - which he was inherently skilled in, before that. Ono got lucky and got possessive. She wasn't the first, and will not be the last, to bump into a very advantageous event. There's no point in punishing her or being nasty. After all, Hollywood, Haute Couture, ''Design' , Journalism, Authors ...and music, is full of 'lucky' passengers, family connections and fads.
Very well said. And at the end of it all. I think people often forget the point that he was in love with her and she was in love with him. No matter how she influenced him, or what actions he decided to take, you definitely can't punish Yoko Ono for what happened, I think it would be even more of an argument to say that it was John's fault for everything that happened. But even that is I think a silly thing to say because, again he was in love with her, and obviously his relationship with her had a lot to do with the end of the beatles, but it's no one's fault it's just how his life played out. Also she came along at a time where the Beatles were increasingly becoming incompatible with each other creatively. If there was no Yoko ono, John likely would have found another way out not long after 1969 anyway. She was just the first reason big enough for him to prioritize over the Beatles. The Beatles were just so beloved, people think that anything other than the band playing forever until they're too old and retired, means that things played out the way they weren't supposed to. Like we strayed from the correct timeline and we're in some alternate universe where the Beatles broke up haha. It's just life. Also there's something nice about their catalog being fairly succinct and everything from start to finish being absolutely brilliant. Based on SOME of the solo records john, Paul and George all put out in the coming decades, maybe it was a good thing and they went their own ways. I would not want to live in the timeline where there were bad Beatles records haha. When the dynamics in a group gets stale, the music suffers. But as it is every record they put out is gold 😎. Well okay... Maybe I wouldn't mind ONE OR TWO more albums lol
the only way someone can be fixated on something so trivial and unimportant is that they are inspired by the character assassination which was motivated by the woman hating racism aimed at yoko.
Part of why I love this dude. He's a class act and he doesn't air his dirty laundry in public and doesn't have a bad word to say about anyone. Yoko is clearly a horrible person.
You admire the qualities embodied in Paul's character, his tact, generosity and consideration and then go on to show you have none of them? Perhaps it would have been better to not bring it up.
@@amandabeaty1492 Ehhh. He suggests Michael was a soft spoken backstabbing deceptive person. Buying the publishing rights to his music to get one over on him. But true. Even in that interview. Paul always keeps it classy.
When Paul began calling her to check in on her and to get to know her after John's death, she was not gracious. Instead, her response was atrocious. Unfortunately she convinced Paul that he was treating her poorly. I will also never forget her refusal to have McCartney-Lennon as the credits on "Yesterday," which everyone knows John had nothing to do with. The way she treated Julian after John died was also horrible.
If what Paul says is accurate there, it certainly seems a very odd response to Paul's distinctly generous olive branch. It strikes me as a bit of a power game, at worst. Maybe it was too soon for her to accept olive branches from Paul, or maybe she'd lost patience with all the many millions who just came along with 'pity', so an interpretation on it would be her questioning Paul's sincerity in calling. How one would respond to that would be Paul's call. Tricky stuff.
@@jonblackers4339 Maybe, but no harm in that I'd say, and that Paul says it with Linda nodding beside him suggests the ring of sincerity here. I'd agree he's often inconsistent with regards to Yoko, but then who wouldn't be, she's a slippery customer also. Lots more going on that we don't know about, would be my guess.
@@MJ-pb4eu I'd say that was highly unlikely - scheming and manipulative she may be, but a murderer? I think not. However, for reasons we don't know, she may blame herself in some weird way; there's a fair few people who say she was very controlling of John's movements, for example.
If Yoko was so soft and loving, why was she so horrible with John's family? She blocked him from visiting his sisters and blocked phone calls from Julian etc. She took away a house John had purchased for his sisters. She influenced John during his divorce from Cynthia, leaving her with a very small settlement. Of course, John bears full responsibility by acquiescing to Yoko's preferences. But, a kind and soft woman would have demanded he financially support Julian and Cynthia.
Part of it, specifically how she acted towards Cynthia & Julian, likely is cultural. She actually treated them better than most Japanese of her generation would've at that time period.
Did John fall completely in Love and become a devoted man to his Wife - Yes! Did John lose a lot of his own values when he changed his view of the World, he must of been all over the place, Loved up like never before, only seeing or hearing hate towards the woman he considered his soul mate? Sadly for his family and particularly his first Son, who must of been hurt by his actions towards them after meeting Yoko and thus blaming her for his breakdown of relationships - when in reality, John with his emotions fixed in one direction was the one who did exactly what he swore not to do - be like his own Father? True Love can hurt I guess?
@@patof72clune51 What? Left? Took? She was amicably divorced from Joseph Melville in 1965 (after just 18 months of marriage and well before she met Paul of course) who raised no objection to Heather's mother having full custody.
Yet you are completely fine with male artists who mistreat their wives and abandon their children, right? Oh that's right you're not. You don't demonise male artists who do these things. It's almost as if morality is not the issue and thereal issue is you hold women to a higher standard and you have a special prejudice against women who do not behave "as they should" meanwhile your male hero's can do what the f they want. You ire should be towards John. It's his son not Yokos. BlameJohn otherwise you're just a racist misogynist like other yoko hating Beatles fans.
@@amandaalma7288exactly. The Beatles fans are not moral at all. They pretend to be but if they were they would be angrier at John and demonise him. He abandoned his own son.this isn't about morality it's all about racism and misogyny.
Allen Klein was the biggest factor in the breakup. Also, not touring caused the breakup - they no longer needed each other ... they became each other's session men.
Paul was right about Alan Klein. John wasn’t. Paul was right about Phil Spector. John wasn’t. Paul was right about Yoko. John wasn’t. Those three influences were the most destructive in the Beatles. What was John thinking!
@@BassicVIC The decision on Yoko was up to John wasn't it. She's not my cup of tea, but if that's what Lennon wanted to do then that's his choice. I doubt John would say Paul was right about Yoko. And Paul made mistakes that hurt the band. The Magical Mystery Tour was his idea and it was the first time they were slammed by critics. Paul even had to apologize on tv for it. The Let It Be live album was a big mistake, mainly because Paul didn't tell everyone that he changed the plan. They show up in Jan expecting to rehearse for a live tv show of White Album music and Paul tells them that they will write a new album of 14 songs that month and play it live on tv at the end of the month. An impossible idea that could only end up in failure. Paul's management after Epstein died was poor, but not that surprising. He'd never done it before. The others were obviously getting tired of it. The only reason Abbey Road was successful was because they went back to the old way.
Another point is that every band ever but the Stones, split, and The Beatles were no different. But the Beatles were the greatest band and that's why we are still arguing about something that happens to every band.
@BaronVonMunch The other three were very apathetic so someone had to keep it together. And I watched Peter Jackson's Get Back about 10 times and I loved every minute of it. Just watching Paul write Get Back was amazing. I watched it 50 times.
If you watch that recent Get Back film, Yoko looks quiet and respectful. She actually looks to he bored out of her mind but stayed there to help John during a very difficult period in his life.
He probably didn’t say anything to John about it because he knew John well enough to know he’d have gotten pissed right off, and just gotten defensive and it wouldn’t have changed anything.
Paul handled this situation incredibly well but I would disagree with one of his statements at the end of this video about John not being stupid. John could be incredibly stupid at times! Yet exhibit pure genius in the studio.
I think of John Lennon as a highly intelligent guy who was inhibited in huge ways by his need to be sheltered and avoid responsibility. Being a famous rock star allowed him to prolong his immaturity without any repercussions. He wrote and spoke about this near 1980. Sad because I believe he was starting to really fix his shitty side and he was killed before he got to straighten things out with his first family.
Props to Paul for extending the olive branch, but we watched Yoko and how she treated everyone and how John was about the same, especially with Julian! So NO, she doesn't get a pass on the world stage.
@jefferypadgett334 There is no love lost in this NOW triangle you injected your very important but useless opinion into. She is wealthy and famous ONLY because of John Lennon, nothing more.
He has to be because legally the creature represents John in all Beatles business and legal dealings...:)....I you got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow!
Thankfully she holds nothing over us so we're free to think and say whatever we want about her but unfortunately as for Paul she holds John's share so he has to tap dance around that B!/@$
And Aunt Mimi. Yoko sold the small house John bought for Mimi and his sisters. Yoko is a bitch. She would not give a guitar Julian played with John to Julian, which had special meaning for him. Yoko made Julian buy back postcards Julian had mailed to his dad. What an asshole!
@@TA-to7kt And yet John stayed with her. I say trust his judgment, he obviously loved the woman and unless you were a friend of John and Yoko, your information is fifteenth hand through some tabloid. He's dead, Paul and Yoko are both old and the Beatles broke up over a half century ago. It's time to move on.
He was the number 1 shock jock for a reason. Although he’s mellowed a bit over the years, he was an awful person in the past. He never cared about what he said and that was the reason he shot to fame. But now that he’s made his fortune he’s toned down a bit. Hell, he even had Biden on recently and that should tell a person everything they need to know. There’s no way Biden would have went on the show 20 years ago.
That’s what he does and it’s why he’s considered the best interviewer in media. He’s trying to get the guest to say “juicy” things. He dances around quickly switching between subjects and frequently saying things like “I bet you feel like this” or “I totally understand how you’d feel like this” to try to get the subject to reveal something they wouldn’t ordinarily say.
@@larrymiller4 . I have known men about whom I've asked the exact same question. The ones I knew were skillfully manipulated once the women were secure in their power over these men---who were often needy for a mother figure to give them the time and attention not received during their growing years. Abandonment issues rooted in death, desertion, incarceration, voluntary or involuntary removal from the home---come into play and trigger fears and old insecurities. In the minds of the men, the women who were chosen filled those voids but did not do right by these men in return.
It was explained in the video. John wanted a strong woman. But a lot of strong women can just be manipulative and narcissistic. They can be anything from an aggressive woman who uses her looks to charm and seduce men to black widows who marry men and take their possessions. Some of what she says is true. But she seems like some kind of narcissistic drama queen. She shouldn't be in the studio when the boys are working. Respect boundaries.
lol ... yoko on the other hand ... "was so obviously johns soul mate, tolerated him taking off for a year to get over his arrested adolescent kicks, helped mellow him out so he became a more decent chilled guy, a good husband and loving father ... " That's what you were going to say right?
@user-ho7xb5el5v Paul is fully aware of Sean's presence, and paul is not about to publicly upset sean by attacking his mother. Her behavior speaks for itself.
Yoko's voice would be perfect for every establishment's speaker system that is trying to have patrons leave by closing time. 🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️🏃♀️🏃♂️💨💨💨👟👟👟👟
Yoko always reminded me of "Cousin It" from the Addams Family. Always hiding behind her long frizzy hair, huge dark sunglasses & hats & the squeaky annoying voice!
Let’s face it. No one would have even heard of Yoko Ono, if she didn’t become involved with Lennon. It was her ticket to fortune and fame. It’s a a shame that he let her walk all over him and endorsed her lack of respect for what the Beatles had created / achieved before she came along. Although the bond between the band was breaking naturally anyway, her involvement hastened the process.
She wouldn't have been a household name for sure, but she was well-known in the art world before she met John. I agree about with you about the 'lack of respect for what the Beatles had created', which for fans is nothing short of heresy of course, but from John's point of view at the time it seemed tied up with his need to start his life over again without the weight of the 'Beatles' tag - it was as much personal as musical.
Linda was truly a beautiful lady who if she was in the studio, everyone woukd adore her...while Yoko was manipulative and generally not a woman of grace and respect! Linda helped Paul while Yoko ruined John.
Well beauty is the eye of the beholder, as they say, and many in the art world considered (and consider) her to be highly talented - as someone says here, her 'avant-garde' work obviously appealed to John, as did her obviously high intelligence. But his seeming obsession with her is admittedly a bit baffling. Part of it I think was that John, for all his genius, was immensely insecure and, much as he courted fame, also hated much of which came with it; the ebullient charisma was in many ways a 'shell' to mask an awful of psychological issues, and he came to believe Yoko could help him with all of these things (and much more). He certainly felt the overpowering nature of love ('for the first time' as it seemed). Moreover, musically speaking, Yoko became his new 'muse', without which, as Paul says, works like 'Imagine' could not have been written.
@@janebraun4482 Oh, he had many, many women. He had other women when he was with Yoko. Lennon always knew that. Who knows exactly what he saw in her, but most likely the artistic part had a lot to do with it. It seems the only thing that really interested John was art and with Yoko they could work on it all the time.
I was born in 1990, and discovered The Beatles when I was 10. The boys had been disbanded for 30 yrs, and John had been gone for 20. Yet even I felt vitriolic toward Yoko as though I’d known them personally and as if she’d poisoned my best friends. On one hand it’s insane for me to harbor negative feelings toward someone I never knew; however, I think that also speaks to just how deeply impactful these men were on my life through their music, and how beautiful a concept it is that the love they manifested will continue to thrive long after they’ve departed this world.
Which in my view is precisely why fans look for scapegoats and why she (all-too conveniently imo) fitted the bill. Agree on your last sentence, though - beautifully put.
The ignorance, vitriol and misogyny aimed at Yoko Ono, is effed up! This is analogous to the bullshit blame game with, Kurt Cobain/Courtney Love, Jessica Simpson/Tony Romo, Kim Kardashian/Reggie Bush, and Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce...
Wait! Yoko didn't know who the Beatles were? This sounds remarkably like Meghan's protest that she had no idea who Harry was or anything about the Royal Family. Sounds like history repeating itself here. Similar story with a similar outcome!
…I remember back in the 6O’s …John’s first wife Cynthia said in an interview that this woman ( a stranger) who no one knew , had been standing outside the family home for hours in the rain , Julian was a baby at the time…..Cynthia said that she felt sorry for her and invited her in for a cup of tea….The rest is history…..& YES she is certainly cut from the same cloth as Meghan Markle ….They set their eyes on a wealthy target , hone in & then pretend it was all Kismet….serendipity….destiny….Then laugh all the way to the bank….IMO 🇨🇦✝️🇬🇧
@@lefuedebout the relationships are strangely mirrored. Lennon lost his mother at an early age too. But certainly both men are controlled by very dominant women.
He was totally under her control. Narcissists are experts at manipulating peoples' emotions. She saw a gold mine and went for it. This is not uncommon among Japanese women.
john demanded her presence and wanted to work with her creatively the same way he wanted to collaborate with paul. the only difference is that you are woman hating racist.
john brought yoko into the studio to work with him. he wanted to collaborate with her the same way he wanted to collaborate with paul. no difference except that paul is a woman hating racist. that was his problem with yoko
This is John fault's not Yoko. She probably asked him "May I come to see you working ?" and he replied "of course love, you can stay with me all the time" . But he didn't ask to the others about it. There were already many people in the studio, so one more or less ...
@@scopius2 They were very young -- Paul turned 30 in 1972, after the breakup, Ringo and John were each just a year or two older than he -- and back then, "passive aggressive" wasn't a term most people knew or used, especially not a bunch of working-class guys from Liverpool. Most people didn't have heart-to-heart talks back then, rarely sought therapists or therapy, it took the much-maligned personal development and self-help movements of the 70s and 80s to get people there. John was just breaking through the substance abuse and psychological issues he had when he was murdered. The album Double Fantasy reflects that change, and it's tragic that we didn't get more of his music, given the songs he recorded for that record. But before that? He was out in L.A. living the bad-boy life with May Pang (for whom I have a lot of sympathy, Yoko really manipulated both John and May Pang in that situation) until he decided to go back to Yoko. No deep psychological insights from him before that.
I always thought that Yoko's voice when she sings sounds like someone's pulling the end of a balloon with fingers on both hands and letting the air slowly.
When people say things like “well John loved her, I trust his judgment”, I wonder if they’ve ever heard of what malevolent narcissists do to people and how they manipulate their emotions to create a crippling dependency. This is what happened to John.
I have personally seen at least four or five men victimized by women who did exactly what you described. It was nothing short of mind control accomplished through expert manipulation. Every one of those men was targeted for exploitation after revealing vulnerabilities during a low point in their lives to a woman they believed to be trustworthy. Only one eventually wised up to reality and dumped her. The rest continued to be played for fools.
To think she really had “the balls” to insert herself there…when she knows they’re recording an album, and working. And to know that John allowed it all to happen…that’s just crazy. I watched “Get Back” in one sitting.
They were on thin ice. George was increasingly disillusioned and ready to go. Yoko filled a massive existential void in Johns heart and Ringo wasn’t going anywhere. Paul was the driving force and the work ethic behind the Beatles. Period. I used to love the Rock n Roll rebel spirit of John but as time passes and the more we unravel it… I’ve grown to accept The Beatles as Paul’s band.
Paul was the driving force at the end, but John was at the beginning. So it is absolutely not Paul's band. If you want to go that route then it definitely started as John's band. He was the clear leader, he wrote and sang most of the songs that created Beatlemania. He did most of the talking and the others followed him. He made the Beatles. He then tired of it for whatever reason and Paul took over.
@@BaronVonMunch Yes and no. While it is true that initially it was John who drove the band, he did not write most of the Beatlemania songs. It was a fair share. Come on--Yesterday, All my loving, Can't buy me love, Things we said today, I'm down. There was a whole string of hits that were purely McCartney. Some they wrote together. But you are right that Paul took over when John was out to lunch on Yoko and heroine. As much as we love his music, it's pretty plain the guy was a mess.
Same, I think the Get Back doc proved just how much Paul pulled them along, I've always been a Lennon person but it frustrated me watching that doc seeing him mess around all the time, you could tell without Paul he probably wouldn't have had the motivation to get his songs together
Ive been head over heels in love with my wife for 14 years. Im a musician. She aint TOUCHING my musical writings, and im a pissant compared to the Beatles
I can't stand anything that has the claim of avant garde. A dog turd covered in cocktail sticks and painted gold would be fawned over if someone famous had presented it, just like that black square a few years back.
@@gomi69 you must have your eyes closed. If you ever open them, talk to some Japanese men just to start things off. BTW one Japanese woman even screwed life of my wifes friend here in Germany who died trying to understand why she was like this. These women are very common.
@michaelb2388 ”full of boring artists trying to be avant garde” All right, I ask you, who has lived in Japan for 10 years. Do you understand Japanese? How many Japanese artists do you know? Do you look down on Japanese culture?
Sometimes you just realize that life is too short to waste your time on negative energy and it is worthwhile to put aside your ego and seek peace ... it's so much better for everyone ... including yourself.
I think that's right. Hatred only has an usefulness if you can actively put it into action and often you cannot. In that case, the only person damaged by your hatred is you, so by forgiving you are setting yourself free. Of course, you are then free to just dislike, if you wish, which is far less self destructive.
In the "Get Back" documentary Paul makes a comment about 50 years later people are going to say The Beatles broke up because of Yoko. No way he could have known how true that statement would become.
“Maybe it’s my mistake.” How many people are bold enough to think this about a major life event and actually act on it. We should all hope for that wisdom.
Anyone who can understand such a situation knows that nothing interfering with a musician's creativity and concentration should be present in the studio. The whole idea is to support maximum-productivity and musicians getting along as best as possible. Yoko Ono was on the whole disruptive to the situation. No business at all being right in the midst of the players. "No added value", as they always say.
I think it's pretty clear she wanted John to leave the Beatles. He did that to be with her. His choice, but I'd have to say it must have come from only him being a very troubled individual.
My mom (also named Yoko with a son named Sean) met Yoko Ono when they were both college kids in Tokyo. Said she was a spoiled brat whose dad was a high level banker. Brat her entire life.
Without Yoko, the Beatles would have evolved like most other rock groups. They would have broken up, probably about the time they actually did, but would have alternated their solo recordings with occasional Beatles albums. In the Get Back movie, George actually suggests this. Also, Billy Preston likely would have become the fifth Beatle, as the Get Back movie shows he almost did. John wouldn't have been assassinated. Yoko, through her influence on John, completely shattered the group. This was a tragedy for all of music. Think what else the Beatles might have done!
Paul is a compassionate person, aside from being an artist. He has tons of empathy. He must've also recognized the sheer train of women they both had come in contact with and how a woman can influence your life. I mean, all those songs didn't come from nuthin'.
There is still enough to blame yoko for, she got john on heroin, she was unfaithful before his death, she cremated john while he wanted to be burried, julian had to buy letters meant for him and so on and so on......
Paul Also For Julian's Sake Bought Back All John's Possessions Yoko Ono Wanted To Sell That Was Very Generous Of Paul Terrible Of Yoko Making Her Step Son Buy Back His Stuff
What a fantastic overview this is. Having lived through the dawn and sunset of The Beatles, my experience and perception of the events says this is an excellent presentation of the facts. Thank you
Paul was being careful in what he said because after John was killed Yoko had a say over what happened with The Beatles catalog. In reality he despised the woman.
Not one mention of Julian. Paul just keeping the peace, nothing more. He never mentioned her screeching on songs with Chuck Berry and others, again, just keeping the peace. Julian is the one that got screwed.
As John said, Paul is a brilliant pr man. He has business interests with Yoko so he needs to get along, and he makes himself look magnanimous at the same time.
Paul also comes from a family that was close and got along. It's much easier for someone that has that kind of background to stay more in balance than for people like John that had so much trauma.
We understand, Paul! Many of us who were there with the Beatles from the start ( I remember as a ten yo boy playing outside with friends & cousins running inside to watch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan show for the first time) cannot understand this whole BS with John (& Yoko), but mostly John!😮
Yoko was the only woman that John met in his entire life who could meet and more than match his craziness with her own (she was a former psychiatric patient in Japan) and when he met her, her craziness was like Catnip to him, and fell head over heels for her, and his 3 band mates be damned!
Paul denies Yoko broke of The Beatles, then he says she took John in a different direction. In my way of thinking that’s breaking them up. To this day, I can’t stand her. She’s the biggest nothing that ever came down the pike.
Piecing it all together, clearly she had negative impact all around, most of all she was all about herself. She could have cared less about John, his band, etc. He was considering writing again with Paul according to May Pang. Then he went back to Yoko. What did Yoko do for John? Nothing. He'd be alive if not for her too.
I guess John was heavily influencable (no dad, passed mother, strong Aunt Mimi) - and was even looking for it. He had never been in a party against sthg - always he was by its own. Yoko probably caused a new micro climate of John's. I would say: Probably Yoko held John longer with the Beatles than he would have been without her. Not in the way of the 4 guys before but at least as a ongoing creative part of them. So at the end we have to be happy to have some estimated 50 songs by him from the time of Yoko marriage until the Beatles Breakup. Together with the firm intellectual connection there was also a great sexual one - with John slightly being submissive and Yoko being dominant.
@@ooops372 You have crazy theories. And if you see them being sexual on camera back then with Lennon groping Yoko constantly, it doesn't look like John being submissive. You can think what you want if it makes you happy, but nothing you say is probably realistic. Lennon would have been making songs with or without Yoko, silly to suggest otherwise. We can even hear private conversations now between Paul and John in 1969 with Lennon telling Paul that he just needs to ask him to make some music and that Paul would find that Lennon would still get his work done. He was assuring Paul that his drug use would not get in the way. And Lennon did always make the songs when he knew what was needed, he was reliable for work. Nothing to do with Yoko. She just got him hooked on heroin.
What an English, polite thing to do, to not say anything to the woman in the studio that's tearing your band apart. In America, all hell would break loose. 😮😮😮
Our local radio station had a contest where they played a sound clip and you had to guess if it was Yoko singing or a wild animal screeching. I I got thru thinking “I’m pretty familiar with Yoko’s stuff, no problem.” WRONG. I guessed “wild animal” and it was Yoko.
I appreciate how this video highlights Paul's reassurance that Yoko did NOT break the band up, but rather that the band was breaking up and she was there while it was transpiring. On the flip side, this blaming and victim mentality is not only never the truth, in any situation, but it diverts from our own responsibility and power (in this case, John and the rest of the band). When applying this to your life and everywhere else then you're just free.
Paul has to be one of the most gracious people i have heard of. His willingness to put up with that woman and to do his best to try to make amends with her when she was clearly in the wrong says a ton about his character.
John's relationship /love affair with Yoko broke up the Beatles . The inherent creativity between John and Paul got strained because of this relationship. You can see it in Paul's words that he was frustrated as the other members were about Yoko being too close to the band while working in the studio . When musicians are in the studio creating thoughts and ideas, there has to be closely established and tight bond between the musicians in their interactions with one and another . With Yoko being there this weaken and broke that bond to that established creative group.. So yes Yoko indirectly broke up the band by John's own fault and actions. How John thought that tribal screaming (Yoko) was appealing to listen to in pop music is a indication just how love can instigate for some off kilter delusion . With John being one of best song writers in the 20th century, makes that even more supportive of that thought.
Well, in this instance, with John's attraction to Yoko...the old saying , 'love is blind", surely rings true...and, if you heard her sing, deaf as well...😁🙏✌️
Good vid but Yoko and even John were no angels! Surely he could've politely asked to have her in the studio. Go see what Julian really feels about his father! That interview is here somewhere.
Paul is too much of a gentleman to trash her, but she was a Tsunami in the midst of the greatest band in history. Sure there were other tensions and other interests that were bubbling around and we know the band would have eventually broken up, but she blew it to bits with her presence and interference. And while the ultimate blame for what was done to Cynthia and Julian lay at the feet of John, she was prodding him to do all of that continuously. I have no use for her and I lost much respect for John for him allowing it.
Actually, I think it would have been very possible for them to each have solo careers and still get back together to do Beatles work. With Yoko around, there was no chance.
@@kramalerav Okay. But will Google take my comments down if I describe those things your mom did? I mean the old girl has a serious imagination, and virtually no STOP signs. If you know where I’m coming from.
Yoko and John always presented a united front. In the studio sitting on Paul's amp. Holding hands... Until that maniac shot John, then Yoko ran like an olympic sprinter- in zigzag pattern away from the action and left John to die alone.
John used Yoko to break up the Beatles. Consciously or subconsciously. They probably were all looking for an out but John found a path he knew would lead him out.
It doesn’t matter, in the end, we could have gone on, loving the great music they made. And would have gone on, but the end of that.. was Yoko. It was John’s decision, his need. It’s the antithesis of being in band. We have our hearts to mend now. Thank you Paul for being so gracious. And to Ringo and George as well. A fond farewell, hearts on our sleeve.
One thing that always impressed me about the Beatles is that when interviewed they were always pretty honest and down to earth, not full of B.S.
George Martin met them, and before he heard any of their music, he said he knew they'd be big because they all had "interesting" personalities

The problem with all of Paul's revelations about Yoko is that they don't jive with her actions that we can prove. For instance, John died and his first son, Julian, was given very little in his will. Yoko was the executor of John's will. This is what's known as a conflict of interest. Julian sued, and Yoko fought him for 16 years before settling. That's wrong. No matter how you slice it, that's wrong.
If someone is named executor in a will, there is no conflict of interest. Their job is to distribute the proceeds of the estate as stated in the will. They don't get to change things more to their own liking. Suing over the wording and beneficiaries in a will can be done, but that has nothing to do with the executor. No matter how you slice it, you're wrong.

Paul is remarkably graceful about Yoko. Class guy.
What should he complain about ... The biggest catastrophe is not the end of the Beatles because many bands naturally come to an end. The worst thing ever is that John was murdered (Yoko has nothing to do with that). I guess that a vast majority would agree here. And so would Paul. All quarrels before that are Kinkerlitzchen (frills and furbelows).
Yoko has been difficult about the rights to sing songs Paul wrote alone. That’s one reason to be pissed off. She was also responsible for making his best friend a heroin addict for 10 years

To be fair, John did not treat him well either.
Who cares dude
Just remember, Yoko made Julian Lennon buy letters that John had sent him when he was a kid at an auction.
Julian was once removed from the Lennon estate and somehow Yoko allowed him a bridge back into that realm of possibility being an heir along with Sean. Julian bears such close resemblance to his father Yoko probably felt she had to change her mindset about John's first son.
I'm pretty sure Yoko is despised by many for a variety of reasons.
@@ericscottstevensYoko removed Julian. He had to sue her to get back in. Yoko forced May Pang to lie to John telling him Julian hadn’t called, and lie to Julian saying his dad was busy. Watch May Pang’s documentary. The stories are super disturbing.
It wasn’t until John went to LA with May that he was able to see Julian. In fact Julian and his mom came out to LA, and she and May became great friends. Because May was a respectful person who felt it was important Julian see his dad.
I used to think Yoko wasn’t too bad, but then i heard those May Pang stories, ugh. Yoko’s a schemer and a liar. Paul is being generous, he’s a class guy.
No one is mentioning how awful John was as well. The way he treated Julian was heartless and cruel. Yoko not giving him part of the inheritance was criminal. I'm glad that Sean and Julian are forging a relationship.
The fact that Yoko never accepted Julian as John's son and treated him badly is on John.

@@TA-to7kt this is correct. As a histrionic personality, any competition to her being the center of attention would not be tolerable for Yoko!

That is not love, but an unhealthy codependency.

Thank you for sharing this video. My main takeaway from it is not about John or Yoko, but rather about Paul as a very decent, sensitive, and intelligent person. God bless.
i guess aside from being racist and sexist he was all that. there was no reason she should not be in the studio, as john wished, contributing as a band member, contributing as an artist. that's what he wanted her there for. john wanted to work with yoko creatively the same way he wanted to work with paul. no difference except that paul was a woman hating racist, not like he minded asian women as long as they were just doing his laundry.
@@heyday179Do believe John got busted for beating his first wife the mother of his children
You are hilarious!
Before she met John Lennon, Yoko was heavily involved in the Avant Garde NYC art scene. There is NO WAY she could've gone that many years without ever knowing who The Beatles were. Absolutely ridiculous.😂
Yoko lied. She was a stalker.
she was "associated" with the so-called Avant Garde NYC scene. But, like many "scenes" in the Art world, there's a few originals; there's a few iconoclasts and there's 100's of hangers-on, fakes and no-talents. Unfortunately for the general public, Press, Media, Pundits spin up 'scenes' for the sake of it and make them attractive enough to pull-in floating idiots; rich-kids with no life, and, cultural nomads.
Ono was "part of" ( i.e. a insignificant satellite) of the Fluxus art movement/gang. Fluxus threw up some talented and interesting people (Beuys, Paik, Riley) But , like any new concept, it also had 100s of other "performers" that had no idea and no talent. Lennon got sucked in...and was quite rightly, intrigued with the idea of breaking convention - which he was inherently skilled in, before that.
Ono got lucky and got possessive. She wasn't the first, and will not be the last, to bump into a very advantageous event. There's no point in punishing her or being nasty. After all, Hollywood, Haute Couture, ''Design' , Journalism, Authors ...and music, is full of 'lucky' passengers, family connections and fads.
Very well said. And at the end of it all. I think people often forget the point that he was in love with her and she was in love with him. No matter how she influenced him, or what actions he decided to take, you definitely can't punish Yoko Ono for what happened, I think it would be even more of an argument to say that it was John's fault for everything that happened. But even that is I think a silly thing to say because, again he was in love with her, and obviously his relationship with her had a lot to do with the end of the beatles, but it's no one's fault it's just how his life played out. Also she came along at a time where the Beatles were increasingly becoming incompatible with each other creatively. If there was no Yoko ono, John likely would have found another way out not long after 1969 anyway. She was just the first reason big enough for him to prioritize over the Beatles. The Beatles were just so beloved, people think that anything other than the band playing forever until they're too old and retired, means that things played out the way they weren't supposed to. Like we strayed from the correct timeline and we're in some alternate universe where the Beatles broke up haha. It's just life. Also there's something nice about their catalog being fairly succinct and everything from start to finish being absolutely brilliant. Based on SOME of the solo records john, Paul and George all put out in the coming decades, maybe it was a good thing and they went their own ways. I would not want to live in the timeline where there were bad Beatles records haha. When the dynamics in a group gets stale, the music suffers. But as it is every record they put out is gold 😎.
Well okay... Maybe I wouldn't mind ONE OR TWO more albums lol
@@d-rockanomaly9243 i guarantee that if john was a plummer she wouldn't fell in love with him

But true. Even in that interview. Paul always keeps it classy.
@@jameslong9921 Ah, you know yourself, like. We can't all be Macca.
When Paul began calling her to check in on her and to get to know her after John's death, she was not gracious. Instead, her response was atrocious. Unfortunately she convinced Paul that he was treating her poorly. I will also never forget her refusal to have McCartney-Lennon as the credits on "Yesterday," which everyone knows John had nothing to do with. The way she treated Julian after John died was also horrible.
If what Paul says is accurate there, it certainly seems a very odd response to Paul's distinctly generous olive branch. It strikes me as a bit of a power game, at worst. Maybe it was too soon for her to accept olive branches from Paul, or maybe she'd lost patience with all the many millions who just came along with 'pity', so an interpretation on it would be her questioning Paul's sincerity in calling. How one would respond to that would be Paul's call. Tricky stuff.
@@28johann1 It feels like flip flopping what Paul did/does. May I assume he wanted to appeasse her because of buisness/money?
@@jonblackers4339 Maybe, but no harm in that I'd say, and that Paul says it with Linda nodding beside him suggests the ring of sincerity here. I'd agree he's often inconsistent with regards to Yoko, but then who wouldn't be, she's a slippery customer also. Lots more going on that we don't know about, would be my guess.
Yoko had something to do with his death, I feel.
@@MJ-pb4eu I'd say that was highly unlikely - scheming and manipulative she may be, but a murderer? I think not. However, for reasons we don't know, she may blame herself in some weird way; there's a fair few people who say she was very controlling of John's movements, for example.
If Yoko was so soft and loving, why was she so horrible with John's family? She blocked him from visiting his sisters and blocked phone calls from Julian etc. She took away a house John had purchased for his sisters. She influenced John during his divorce from Cynthia, leaving her with a very small settlement.
Of course, John bears full responsibility by acquiescing to Yoko's preferences. But, a kind and soft woman would have demanded he financially support Julian and Cynthia.
narcissistic traits
Absolutely, anybody with even the smallest amount of common sense has that very clear.
Part of it, specifically how she acted towards Cynthia & Julian, likely is cultural. She actually treated them better than most Japanese of her generation would've at that time period.
Textbook
Did John fall completely in Love and become a devoted man to his Wife - Yes!
Did John lose a lot of his own values when he changed his view of the World, he must of been all over the place, Loved up like never before, only seeing or hearing hate towards the woman he considered his soul mate?
Sadly for his family and particularly his first Son, who must of been hurt by his actions towards them after meeting Yoko and thus blaming her for his breakdown of relationships - when in reality, John with his emotions fixed in one direction was the one who did exactly what he swore not to do - be like his own Father?

@@BassicVIC The decision on Yoko was up to John wasn't it. She's not my cup of tea, but if that's what Lennon wanted to do then that's his choice. I doubt John would say Paul was right about Yoko.
And Paul made mistakes that hurt the band. The Magical Mystery Tour was his idea and it was the first time they were slammed by critics. Paul even had to apologize on tv for it. The Let It Be live album was a big mistake, mainly because Paul didn't tell everyone that he changed the plan. They show up in Jan expecting to rehearse for a live tv show of White Album music and Paul tells them that they will write a new album of 14 songs that month and play it live on tv at the end of the month. An impossible idea that could only end up in failure. Paul's management after Epstein died was poor, but not that surprising. He'd never done it before. The others were obviously getting tired of it. The only reason Abbey Road was successful was because they went back to the old way.
Another point is that every band ever but the Stones, split, and The Beatles were no different. But the Beatles were the greatest band and that's why we are still arguing about something that happens to every band.
@BaronVonMunch The other three were very apathetic so someone had to keep it together. And I watched Peter Jackson's Get Back about 10 times and I loved every minute of it. Just watching Paul write Get Back was amazing. I watched it 50 times.

If you watch that recent Get Back film, Yoko looks quiet and respectful. She actually looks to he bored out of her mind but stayed there to help John during a very difficult period in his life.

I know people like that and treat them the same way
Paul handled this situation incredibly well but I would disagree with one of his statements at the end of this video about John not being stupid. John could be incredibly stupid at times! Yet exhibit pure genius in the studio.
I think of John Lennon as a highly intelligent guy who was inhibited in huge ways by his need to be sheltered and avoid responsibility. Being a famous rock star allowed him to prolong his immaturity without any repercussions. He wrote and spoke about this near 1980. Sad because I believe he was starting to really fix his shitty side and he was killed before he got to straighten things out with his first family.
Props to Paul for extending the olive branch, but we watched Yoko and how she treated everyone and how John was about the same, especially with Julian! So NO, she doesn't get a pass on the world stage.

Generally it is accepted that love is blind. Thanks to John Lennon we know it is also deaf.
Let’s face it. No one would have even heard of Yoko Ono, if she didn’t become involved with Lennon. It was her ticket to fortune and fame. It’s a a shame that he let her walk all over him and endorsed her lack of respect for what the Beatles had created / achieved before she came along. Although the bond between the band was breaking naturally anyway, her involvement hastened the process.
She wouldn't have been a household name for sure, but she was well-known in the art world before she met John. I agree about with you about the 'lack of respect for what the Beatles had created', which for fans is nothing short of heresy of course, but from John's point of view at the time it seemed tied up with his need to start his life over again without the weight of the 'Beatles' tag - it was as much personal as musical.

Well beauty is the eye of the beholder, as they say, and many in the art world considered (and consider) her to be highly talented - as someone says here, her 'avant-garde' work obviously appealed to John, as did her obviously high intelligence. But his seeming obsession with her is admittedly a bit baffling. Part of it I think was that John, for all his genius, was immensely insecure and, much as he courted fame, also hated much of which came with it; the ebullient charisma was in many ways a 'shell' to mask an awful of psychological issues, and he came to believe Yoko could help him with all of these things (and much more). He certainly felt the overpowering nature of love ('for the first time' as it seemed). Moreover, musically speaking, Yoko became his new 'muse', without which, as Paul says, works like 'Imagine' could not have been written.
Thats when they knew that he was on fucked up drugs.
You think SHE'S hot ?
All the Beatles swore off drugs that day...true story
@@janebraun4482 Oh, he had many, many women. He had other women when he was with Yoko. Lennon always knew that. Who knows exactly what he saw in her, but most likely the artistic part had a lot to do with it. It seems the only thing that really interested John was art and with Yoko they could work on it all the time.
I was born in 1990, and discovered The Beatles when I was 10. The boys had been disbanded for 30 yrs, and John had been gone for 20. Yet even I felt vitriolic toward Yoko as though I’d known them personally and as if she’d poisoned my best friends. On one hand it’s insane for me to harbor negative feelings toward someone I never knew; however, I think that also speaks to just how deeply impactful these men were on my life through their music, and how beautiful a concept it is that the love they manifested will continue to thrive long after they’ve departed this world.
Which in my view is precisely why fans look for scapegoats and why she (all-too conveniently imo) fitted the bill. Agree on your last sentence, though - beautifully put.
Yoko ruined John Lennon's life. That much is clear. He gave up everything when he moved to NYC with her.
The ignorance, vitriol and misogyny aimed at Yoko Ono, is effed up! This is analogous to the bullshit blame game with, Kurt Cobain/Courtney Love, Jessica Simpson/Tony Romo, Kim Kardashian/Reggie Bush, and Taylor Swift/Travis Kelce...
I was born in 1954. When beatlemaynia came around we all wanted beatle boots and let our hair long.
Yoko is now 91 years old. Let that sink in.
Not long left. Sinks in just fine.
@@BaronVonMunchdidn’t she suffer a stroke?
Hopefully , she will see and go to the light soon .

Wait! Yoko didn't know who the Beatles were? This sounds remarkably like Meghan's protest that she had no idea who Harry was or anything about the Royal Family. Sounds like history repeating itself here. Similar story with a similar outcome!
Exactly!
…I remember back in the 6O’s …John’s first wife Cynthia said in an interview that this woman ( a stranger) who no one knew , had been standing outside the family home for hours in the rain , Julian was a baby at the time…..Cynthia said that she felt sorry for her and invited her in for a cup of tea….The rest is history…..& YES she is certainly cut from the same cloth as Meghan Markle ….They set their eyes on a wealthy target , hone in & then pretend it was all Kismet….serendipity….destiny….Then laugh all the way to the bank….IMO 🇨🇦✝️🇬🇧
@@lefuedebout the relationships are strangely mirrored.
Lennon lost his mother at an early age too. But certainly both men are controlled by very dominant women.
Histrionic women or?
Yoko in the studio was all Lennon's fault. He was responsible for forcing her into their sessions. He could have said no and respected his bandmates.
He was totally under her control. Narcissists are experts at manipulating peoples' emotions. She saw a gold mine and went for it. This is not uncommon among Japanese women.
At least she could sing.
john demanded her presence and wanted to work with her creatively the same way he wanted to collaborate with paul. the only difference is that you are woman hating racist.
john brought yoko into the studio to work with him. he wanted to collaborate with her the same way he wanted to collaborate with paul. no difference except that paul is a woman hating racist. that was his problem with yoko
@@heyday179Yoko could scream into a bag but Paul McCartney wrote half the Beatles songs. See any difference?
This is John fault's not Yoko. She probably asked him "May I come to see you working ?" and he replied "of course love, you can stay with me all the time" . But he didn't ask to the others about it. There were already many people in the studio, so one more or less ...
Agree
From what I just watched in the video, Paul was as much to blame for being passive aggressive and not having a man to man talk with John.
Lennon was certainly messed up. Too bad Yoko got her fangs into him.
@@scopius2 They were very young -- Paul turned 30 in 1972, after the breakup, Ringo and John were each just a year or two older than he -- and back then, "passive aggressive" wasn't a term most people knew or used, especially not a bunch of working-class guys from Liverpool. Most people didn't have heart-to-heart talks back then, rarely sought therapists or therapy, it took the much-maligned personal development and self-help movements of the 70s and 80s to get people there. John was just breaking through the substance abuse and psychological issues he had when he was murdered. The album Double Fantasy reflects that change, and it's tragic that we didn't get more of his music, given the songs he recorded for that record. But before that? He was out in L.A. living the bad-boy life with May Pang (for whom I have a lot of sympathy, Yoko really manipulated both John and May Pang in that situation) until he decided to go back to Yoko. No deep psychological insights from him before that.
If i had a choice between Yokos screaching in a song or nails screaching across a chalk board, id pick the chalk board every time.
Even other Japanese can’t stand what she calls singing.
Sure lol
I always thought that Yoko's voice when she sings sounds like someone's pulling the end of a balloon with fingers on both hands and letting the air slowly.
@@HikaruKatayamma Why ''even''? It's not like she employs some traditional Japanese singing or compatriots always loving each other...
I think you have to read between the lines to what Paul says about Yoko. Paul is a natural-born diplomat.
or you could actually listen to what he says without listening to the voices in your head and just turn your dingbat off
@@heyday179 I find your technique basic and unsophisticated to say the least, HD.
When people say things like “well John loved her, I trust his judgment”, I wonder if they’ve ever heard of what malevolent narcissists do to people and how they manipulate their emotions to create a crippling dependency. This is what happened to John.
Exactly. She is a scheming manipulator.
I have personally seen at least four or five men victimized by women who did exactly what you described. It was nothing short of mind control accomplished through expert manipulation. Every one of those men was targeted for exploitation after revealing vulnerabilities during a low point in their lives to a woman they believed to be trustworthy. Only one eventually wised up to reality and dumped her. The rest continued to be played for fools.
John was pretty bad himself with women…
@@OrangeTabbyCat Yes, he was, but he met his match in the wretched Yoko. Karma perhaps?
@@msr1116 You know there are male manipulators as well, right? It's not a man/woman thing...
To think she really had “the balls” to insert herself there…when she knows they’re recording an album, and working. And to know that John allowed it all to happen…that’s just crazy. I watched “Get Back” in one sitting.
They were on thin ice. George was increasingly disillusioned and ready to go. Yoko filled a massive existential void in Johns heart and Ringo wasn’t going anywhere.
Paul was the driving force and the work ethic behind the Beatles.
Period.
I used to love the Rock n Roll rebel spirit of John but as time passes and the more we unravel it… I’ve grown to accept The Beatles as Paul’s band.
Paul was the driving force at the end, but John was at the beginning. So it is absolutely not Paul's band. If you want to go that route then it definitely started as John's band. He was the clear leader, he wrote and sang most of the songs that created Beatlemania. He did most of the talking and the others followed him. He made the Beatles. He then tired of it for whatever reason and Paul took over.
@@BaronVonMunch
Good points… but we all agree that when Yoko joined The Beatles they were soon a band on the run.
@@BaronVonMunch Yes and no. While it is true that initially it was John who drove the band, he did not write most of the Beatlemania songs. It was a fair share. Come on--Yesterday, All my loving, Can't buy me love, Things we said today, I'm down. There was a whole string of hits that were purely McCartney. Some they wrote together. But you are right that Paul took over when John was out to lunch on Yoko and heroine. As much as we love his music, it's pretty plain the guy was a mess.
Same, I think the Get Back doc proved just how much Paul pulled them along, I've always been a Lennon person but it frustrated me watching that doc seeing him mess around all the time, you could tell without Paul he probably wouldn't have had the motivation to get his songs together
She didn't belong in the studio with the them. She belonged outside.

Wise words.
Exactly.
Its not worth fussing and fighting my friend.
I think that's right. Hatred only has an usefulness if you can actively put it into action and often you cannot. In that case, the only person damaged by your hatred is you, so by forgiving you are setting yourself free. Of course, you are then free to just dislike, if you wish, which is far less self destructive.
@@Frank_Nemothere is no use for hatred
In the "Get Back" documentary Paul makes a comment about 50 years later people are going to say The Beatles broke up because of Yoko. No way he could have known how true that statement would become.
“Maybe it’s my mistake.” How many people are bold enough to think this about a major life event and actually act on it. We should all hope for that wisdom.
Anyone who can understand such a situation knows that nothing interfering with a musician's creativity and concentration should be present in the studio. The whole idea is to support maximum-productivity and musicians getting along as best as possible. Yoko Ono was on the whole disruptive to the situation. No business at all being right in the midst of the players. "No added value", as they always say.
I think it's pretty clear she wanted John to leave the Beatles. He did that to be with her. His choice, but I'd have to say it must have come from only him being a very troubled individual.

Without Yoko, the Beatles would have evolved like most other rock groups. They would have broken up, probably about the time they actually did, but would have alternated their solo recordings with occasional Beatles albums. In the Get Back movie, George actually suggests this. Also, Billy Preston likely would have become the fifth Beatle, as the Get Back movie shows he almost did. John wouldn't have been assassinated. Yoko, through her influence on John, completely shattered the group. This was a tragedy for all of music. Think what else the Beatles might have done!
If there ever was a Group that needed to Break up it was them , most of Thier Solo stuff was STELLAR. ‼️
Yoko is the biggest pain in the S ever.But John brought it to Beatles.He just didn't care.
I was in a band and there was one rule in the studio . NO YOKOs !!! The girlfriends understood .
Paul is a compassionate person, aside from being an artist. He has tons of empathy. He must've also recognized the sheer train of women they both had come in contact with and how a woman can influence your life. I mean, all those songs didn't come from nuthin'.
He's weak

No one is perfect. She was able to influence him. They had 12 or so intense years. He did not have that in his first marriage.

What a fantastic overview this is. Having lived through the dawn and sunset of The Beatles, my experience and perception of the events says this is an excellent presentation of the facts. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it!
Paul was being careful in what he said because after John was killed Yoko had a say over what happened with The Beatles catalog. In reality he despised the woman.
Not one mention of Julian. Paul just keeping the peace, nothing more. He never mentioned her screeching on songs with Chuck Berry and others, again, just keeping the peace. Julian is the one that got screwed.
Yoko will always remind me of screeching.
As John said, Paul is a brilliant pr man. He has business interests with Yoko so he needs to get along, and he makes himself look magnanimous at the same time.
Agreed 👍🏻! 💯
BINGO.
Paul also comes from a family that was close and got along. It's much easier for someone that has that kind of background to stay more in balance than for people like John that had so much trauma.
We understand, Paul! Many of us who were there with the Beatles from the start ( I remember as a ten yo boy playing outside with friends & cousins running inside to watch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan show for the first time) cannot understand this whole BS with John (& Yoko), but mostly John!😮
If you were too research John's early childhood trauma,, or just the impacts of it on anyone, you may understand more.
The Beatles never started on ed sullivan.they had been around in Britain
@@marioncharleston ..my bad....meant big start in U.S...
Paul seems a decent fellow.
Yoko was the only woman that John met in his entire life who could
meet and more than match his craziness with her own
(she was a former psychiatric patient in Japan)
and when he met her, her craziness was like Catnip to him, and fell
head over heels for her, and his 3 band mates be damned!
Paul denies Yoko broke of The Beatles, then he says she took John in a different direction. In my way of thinking that’s breaking them up. To this day, I can’t stand her. She’s the biggest nothing that ever came down the pike.
Piecing it all together, clearly she had negative impact all around, most of all she was all about herself. She could have cared less about John, his band, etc. He was considering writing again with Paul according to May Pang. Then he went back to Yoko. What did Yoko do for John? Nothing. He'd be alive if not for her too.
I guess John was heavily influencable (no dad, passed mother, strong Aunt Mimi) - and was even looking for it. He had never been in a party against sthg - always he was by its own. Yoko probably caused a new micro climate of John's. I would say: Probably Yoko held John longer with the Beatles than he would have been without her. Not in the way of the 4 guys before but at least as a ongoing creative part of them. So at the end we have to be happy to have some estimated 50 songs by him from the time of Yoko marriage until the Beatles Breakup. Together with the firm intellectual connection there was also a great sexual one - with John slightly being submissive and Yoko being dominant.
50 songs ? They married in March 1969.
So you refuse to listen to the guy that was in the room. You believe what you want to believe. Jog on
@@ooops372 You have crazy theories. And if you see them being sexual on camera back then with Lennon groping Yoko constantly, it doesn't look like John being submissive. You can think what you want if it makes you happy, but nothing you say is probably realistic. Lennon would have been making songs with or without Yoko, silly to suggest otherwise. We can even hear private conversations now between Paul and John in 1969 with Lennon telling Paul that he just needs to ask him to make some music and that Paul would find that Lennon would still get his work done. He was assuring Paul that his drug use would not get in the way. And Lennon did always make the songs when he knew what was needed, he was reliable for work. Nothing to do with Yoko. She just got him hooked on heroin.
The only thing Yoko was famous for was marrying John and having a voice that could turn milk sour
Paul is kind, I always thought she sounded like a howling injured cat. I think all is on John for Yoko even being around.
Paul McCartney is such a bloody good guy
What an English, polite thing to do, to not say anything to the woman in the studio that's tearing your band apart. In America, all hell would break loose. 😮😮😮
With age comes great wisdom.
And great restraint! lol
I knew a guy that when he wanted to scare roaches from his house he would play Yoko music.
😂😂😂
She could scare the flies off a manure truck.
She is were fun goes to die.
Our local radio station had a contest where they played a sound clip and you had to guess if it was Yoko singing or a wild animal screeching. I I got thru thinking “I’m pretty familiar with Yoko’s stuff, no problem.” WRONG. I guessed “wild animal” and it was Yoko.
Yoko clearly sunk her claws into an insecure and unhappy John. He should've stayed with May.
May was Yoko's idea, not Johns. Fortunately for Julian May reunited him with his dad.
I appreciate how this video highlights Paul's reassurance that Yoko did NOT break the band up, but rather that the band was breaking up and she was there while it was transpiring. On the flip side, this blaming and victim mentality is not only never the truth, in any situation, but it diverts from our own responsibility and power (in this case, John and the rest of the band). When applying this to your life and everywhere else then you're just free.
Paul has to be one of the most gracious people i have heard of. His willingness to put up with that woman and to do his best to try to make amends with her when she was clearly in the wrong says a ton about his character.
This was a very nice compilation, well-done. I know a lot of work went into it and I was glued from the start. Thank you!

Okay. I learned a great deal from this video. Good job.

John's relationship /love affair with Yoko broke up the Beatles .
The inherent creativity between John and Paul got strained because of this relationship.
You can see it in Paul's words that he was frustrated as the other members were about Yoko being too close to the band while working in the studio . When musicians are in the studio creating thoughts and ideas, there has to be closely established and tight bond between the musicians in their interactions with one and another . With Yoko being there this weaken and broke that bond to that established creative group.. So yes Yoko indirectly broke up the band by John's own fault and actions. How John thought that tribal screaming (Yoko) was appealing to listen to in pop music is a indication just how love can instigate for some off kilter delusion . With John being one of best song writers in the 20th century, makes that even more supportive of that thought.
It's strange to me that the man who wrote Imagine also beat Yoko Ono into a miscarriage, cheated on her, disinherited his first born and first wife.
Well, in this instance, with John's attraction to Yoko...the old saying , 'love is blind", surely rings true...and, if you heard her sing, deaf as well...😁🙏✌️
No one gives a f**k about Yoko. Pretty sure everyone wondered what John saw in her. 😅
Good vid but Yoko and even John were no angels! Surely he could've politely asked to have her in the studio. Go see what Julian really feels about his father! That interview is here somewhere.
I'm sure this didn't help keep them together, they're breakup was inevitable. VERY sad, but most bands end up like this anyway
he doesn't ever seem to get irritated about being asked about things he's already spoken about over a dozen times, incredible patience
Paul is too much of a gentleman to trash her, but she was a Tsunami in the midst of the greatest band in history. Sure there were other tensions and other interests that were bubbling around and we know the band would have eventually broken up, but she blew it to bits with her presence and interference. And while the ultimate blame for what was done to Cynthia and Julian lay at the feet of John, she was prodding him to do all of that continuously. I have no use for her and I lost much respect for John for him allowing it.
Actually, I think it would have been very possible for them to each have solo careers and still get back together to do Beatles work. With Yoko around, there was no chance.

He had no choice. She contolled John's portion of The Beatles. Just like Courtney and Dave.
John used Yoko to break up the Beatles. Consciously or subconsciously. They probably were all looking for an out but John found a path he knew would lead him out.
Very plausible imo. Although Paul was desperate to keep the band going.
Yoko is 100% responsible for breaking up the Beatles.
George Paul and Ringo do not agree with you.

It doesn’t matter, in the end, we could have gone on, loving the great music they made. And would have gone on, but the end of that.. was Yoko. It was John’s decision, his need. It’s the antithesis of being in band. We have our hearts to mend now. Thank you Paul for being so gracious. And to Ringo and George as well. A fond farewell, hearts on our sleeve.
