John In The 1970s

John Lennon’s public reaction to Brian Epstein’s death (1967)

Because Paul was left handed, John initially found it unexpectedly difficult to follow his chord changes. He finally resorted to restringing his guitar and playing the instrument upside down until he had mastered the chords Paul could teach him — whereupon he proceeded to learn them all over again the other way around.

Pete Shotton - John Lennon: In My Life.

Paul: When you told me John: When you told me Paul: You didn't need me anymore John: You'll never leave me Paul: You know, I nearly broke down and die

John and Paul: we did not have this conversation before. This song is totally fictional and not about us breaking up at all.

This soulful jamming reminds me of their "Oh Johnny, Johnny" "improvisations". Also John proceeds to talk about Yoko's divorce, sticking it in where it hurts. (Chap really knows how to rub it in).

My favorite comments on How Do You Sleep

Question: So tonight you're on stage with your brother.

Noel: Unfortunately, yes.

Question: Unfortunately. You don't like each other very much.

Noel: No.

Question: Is there anything you like about your brother? Anything?

Noel: There's lots of things I like about his personality, but he doesn't like me.

Question: Do you know why?

Noel: Uuuhm...

Question: Have you ever talked to him about it?

Noel: I don't know. You'd have to speak to him. But I know he doesn't like me. He insults me all the time.

Question: But you like him.

Noel: There's certain aspects of him that I like.

Question: What kind of aspects?

Noel: HE WEARS CRAZY SHOES

Question: Ah. Anything else?

Noel: He has crazy hair.

Question: And what's that got to do with his personality?

Noel: They're just things I find attractive in men.

Russel Brand show February 2009

so nobody’s gonna talk about how when john and yoko had an explosive fight in the early 70s about if he was still allowed to act like a beatle sometimes or not (john arguing that he had to, especially if he wanted to play with the others!! and yoko arguing that it wasn’t artistic enough) and it was so emotional that he crushed his glasses and then chose to run away and where did he run to?? PARIS FRANCE!!!!! john lennon missed being a beatle and wanted to play with his beatles again, was even looking forward to playing with paul, and yoko wouldn’t let him, so he went to paris. PARIS. in this essay i will
