The Family Good and Bad

Музыка

Hello everyone and welcome back to The Beatles Forever. Today is the last video on the memories of Julia Lennon the step-sister of John Lennon. It is from her book Imagine This.
Today we will see the good times and the bad times during the years of John Lennon's life from 1964 onward.
John goes to New York and his English family looses touch with him for awhile. Off and on John reaches out to the family he was once so close to.
The family felt a bit abandoned at times, but the family always loved each other no matter what.

    I think it's so sad that even when Julia gathered all the proof about the house Yoko still ignored them, she had John's millions and couldn't grant this John's wish. I wonder if she worked also on filtering their letters and calls so they couldn't talk to john. Thanks once again i love these videos

    Thank you for your comments. It would have been nice if she had granted John's wishes. It seemed like Yoko did try and monitor his calls. I think Paul tried to get in touch with him too and wasn't put through.

    I'm slow to reach judgments. I'm 72, so I lived through the whole thing. I've concluded that Yoko Ono is a blight upon the face of the world.

    Money changes people. And it doesn't matter how messed up in your life you are you should never hit anyone, there's no excuse for it.

    It seems at every turn Yoko crapped on John Lennon’s family after his death. Upon Johns aunt MiMi’s death the house he bought for her was intended to be a family compound so to speak for his remaining family members especially his sisters. Yoko sold the house with no regard to Johns wishes. As for Julian, Yoko gave him two ragged out guitars and gave the best ones to Sean. John had several significant item’s he wanted but Yoko sold them as memorabilia. Julian had to bid and buy what he could afford on the open market. When it came to Julian’s inheritance Yoko low balled Julian big time. Julian eventually slapped a lawsuit on Yoko and was compensated but not near as much as he should have been given. To Julian’s credit he took it upon himself to make sure Sean would be ok and maintained an excellent relationship with Sean even until this very day. Sean obviously has the much much larger share of his dad’s wealth. I hope after Yoko Croak’s Sean will Right a Wrong. Julian lives in Monaco because of the more favorable tax advantages as Julian has to take measures to preserve what money he does have. If Yoko was fair, this should never be the case. I’ve had Yoko-idus pretty much from day one of knowing about her. Self serving, Greedy, Selfish are word’s that best describes the very nature of Yoko Loko.

    16:27 That's ALL I need to know about Yoko's lack of character. She had John's millions and was still PETTY enough to cause trouble for innocent people over 3000 pounds.

    It really seems Yoko kept John in isolation, she was afraid he would want to stay with his family, it also seems like John liked to help his family financially. Maybe yoko just wanted the all the money for herself only

    Julia didn't have the best taste in music and, In this All Music Guide review of The Beatles 1963 second album,With The Beatles Stephen Thomas Erlewine who wrote The All Music Guide's Rolling Stones biography,and reviews a lot of Beatles and solo Beatles albums, says at the end of the very good review that still the heart of With The Beatles lies not in the covers but the originals where it was clear that even at this early stage The Beatles were rapidly maturing and changing turning into expert craftsman and musical innovators. Paul McCartney said in a 1994 interview that Mick Jagger came to John and Paul in 1963 and asked him if they had any songs for them. So Paul and John wrote the rock n roll song, I Wanna Be Your Man right in front of them, and in Bob Spitz's very good book,The Beatles he explains that as they were writing it John played Keith Richards guitar and Paul played Bill Wyman's bass and Keith Richards and Mick Jagger who were really impressed that they could just write a song just like that to order,and it became one of The Rolling Stones first hits,and it motivated them to start writing their own songs and both bands became friends and often hung out together from then on.

    To debunk and correct these sadly all too common myths about John and Yoko too,John Lennon said in his very last radio interview (just hours before he was so cruelly, insanely shot and killed by a crazy,horrible piece of sh*t who used to be a big Beatles fan since he was 11, and John was his favorite Beatle and he said years later that he met and shook John's then 5 year old Sean just two days before he irrationally shot and killed his father right in front of Yoko,that Sean was the cutest little boy he ever saw,and that it never occurred to him that he would never see his father again and and John was nice enough to take the time to autograph his album just hours before he killed him) that like most young men he was more involved with his career than with his children,and he said he regretted not spending enough time with Julian. He also said that he and Julian would have a relationship in the future but sadly they both were deprived of this. And John didn't do the same horrible thing to Julian that his father did to him. John's father literally totally abandoned him and literally didn't see, or talk to John from the time he was 5,until he was a successful famous 24 year old. John did see Julian sometimes, and spoke with him on the phone and sent him post cards,birthday and Christmas cards and presents and he bought Julian a guitar when he was 11 as a Christmas present. John's father never did any of these things and John said it was like his father was dead. And Cynthia Lennon said that John only hit her twice *before* they were married when he was a very young psychologically messed up 19 year old guy,and Cynthia always said that she would always be in love with John and she was married 3 times after him. Cynthia also said in a 1984 TV interview that is on youtube,she says that John was a sensitive caring man and not the cruel man the media often portrays him as.Yoko and his girlfriend May Pang said the same exact things too.

    Thank you so much!!ヨーコさんとジョンの姉妹たちの交流があんまりなかったと言う事が、如実に解るお話ですね!ニューヨークからロンドンに来られたヨーコさんさんとの出会いで、それまでなんの所縁もなかったのですから、仕方がないと言えますね!ヨーコさんさんの方も、又ヨーコさんさんの家族がダコタアパートに来られた様子もなく写真もないのが、残念です。でもジョン自身が生前にヨーコさんと一緒に行き来していなかったからで、ヨーコさんだけに責任を負わすのは、おかしな話しです。でもイギリスの妹さんたちから言わせれば、とても残念な淋しい感情が生まれるのはとても解かりますよ!でもジュリアさんいつも私達ジョンのフアンに情報をを提供して下さり感謝申し上げます。いつも楽しみにしていますよ!

    John Dykes lost his job after driving drunk. Because he lost his job and had no money, Julia went to Mimi to tell her John couldn't eat at his Mother house. When Julia left Mimik she was killen in that accent outside Mimi's house. So John Dykes didn't learn ...

    I think the Rickenbacker has better sound I'm only a fan. But actually I think it was Dave Grohl who said he should start touring with the Hoffner again. The fans love it. Paul has said it's light and he does like that. So I think we should stay with a Hoffner for his tours. It's a fan favorite. We're there to see Paul we can't hear everything like on a album or whatever it is you're listening to.
