Annoying Yoko Ono during The Beatles Rehearsal
AllaBest
session in 1969. First constantly calling John Lennon while he's
talking to Dick James, then jamming with the band, screaming at the
microphone. This video is NOT meant to be watched!
Just play it a bit through to see the "evolution" of her disturbance
and to have an idea how painful it was to have her presence everyday
during the rehearsals and the recordings.

Blame John, then. She was just being who she is. As the leader of the
band, he knew very well the dynamics of the band and their rehearsals
- he knew exactly what he was doing by bringing her in. It was a very
passive-aggressive move: it got him out of the band with none of the
blame - the same as he got out of his marriage with Yoko as the
scapegoat, the Dragon Lady Who Seduced our Beloved Beatle. To this
day, many of you blame her for both the breakup of his marriage and
the band, and your St. John remains unsoiled. Yes, she is odd and yes,
her singing is annoying and yes to many of the other quirky things
about her that you constantly harp on. But John picked her and one
could easily argue that he then he used her to get out of situations
that he did not have the courage to deal with honestly on his own. So
chew on that.

Yoko could have said, "no."

You raise some good points.
Both John and Yoko could have made different choices during those
tumultuous times.

Please. Still making excuses for John, finding ways to blame the
witch...now it's the drugs...
John wanted out of his marriage; he found a way out of it and Yoko
took the blame. John wanted out of the Beatles; he found a way out of
it and Yoko took, and still takes, the blame. Exactly who manipulated
whom?

I'd hazard a guess and suspect that she was stifling his creativity.
He realized this and decided to get the hell out of the marriage.

This perception of Lennon as a weak, needy man-child - by a *fan*, no
less - is one that I imagine would have made him (Lennon) very, very
angry indeed.
BlackMonk
Only someone who thought John Lennon was obligated to be a Beatle before
a human being would say that,.

Thanks for posting! Lennon and McCartney as session musicians for Yoko
(doesn't sound like Ringo is there). They got a nice mantra thing
going at one point with the exception of the screeching banshee.
As to the ins and outs of the John/Yoko debate as always the truth
probably lies somewhere inbetween As we say 6 of 1 and half a dozen of
the other.

To them, John Lennon as a person is irrelevant and an inconvenience. He
is an empty vessel they fill with their own fantasies. Reality has
little or nothing to do with it.

Spot on, Abe.
Many of you are like Robert Pirsig's friends in "Zen and the Art of

That's not Dick James (he popped in earlier in the day, though). It's
Michael Lindsay-Hogg, with a bit of George Martin.

Yes, because (as Abe Slaney pointed out), it's not a video at all. Just
one of those wretched YouTube clips where they take a piece of audio and
cobble together some lame stills in a vain attempt to make it look
interesting.

I dug this out on my iPod yesterday and had a listen. Yoko is indeed
highly irritating, but John and Ringo make comical responses to her,
which are quite funny. If you can actually listen to the dialogue, John
Lennon is quite unconcerned that George has walked out, and casually
decides that they can get Eric Clapton in as a replacement. He actually
seems pissed off that George has left.
I find Michael Lindsay-Hogg much more annoying than Yoko though, with
his unfunny jokes, effete voice, and his constant harping on about doing
the show in Africa, even though the band had insisted from day one that
they weren't interested in going overseas. How the Fabz tolerated his
presence for an entire month is totally beyond me. Paul even worked with
him in the 70s (eg: "With A Little Luck" video).
Just a thought to throw out there to all: is Yoko the ultimate r.m.b.
troll, without ever having posted here? She constantly upsets a clique
of posters who spend a lot of their time and energy obsessing about her,
to the extent of seeking out tweets, sound clips and other material to
do with someone they don't like. I'm not a fan of her, but I enjoy
watching the way she gets under people's skin.

I don't buy that in the least. You're right about John being a pussy.
He was also mean, violent, egotistical, infantile, cowardly, and
passive-aggressive. A fabulous artist, but a fucked-up human being.
Someone (Abe?) got it right earlier in this thread: John wanted out of
the Beatles, and he did what he could to make that happen, in
particular, introducing someone into the dynamic who he knew would
antagonize his business-artistic partners. She was his tool, not the
other way around. Yoko is not some magical evil witch who cast spells
over John Lennon. She was someone who John knew would help him achieve
his goal of getting out of the band without him having to confront the
situation head-on, like a grown man. He eventually got what he wanted,
though, so I guess he did the right thing after all.
I've been through band breakups myself. It's almost never caused by one
person. Everybody plays a part and shares the blame, and nobody can
really understand unless they were personally involved.

Yes the dialogue is interesting which is why i bothered to listen to
all that yowling - George left because of John not Paul - he was used
to shit with Paul and it did not affect him - but shit with John did.
And yes MLH sounds like a little prick. In other clips you can hear
him sucking up to Linda whilst George is doing one of his tunes.
Re John/Yoko i was chatting with Jackie Lomax last week and he told me
that Astrid K had it right when she said "John was a crazy man and he
needed a crazy woman".

"For You Blue"?
There's another amusing bit from January 13th when Linda and MLH are
arguing about who is the bigger Beatles fan, and how the documentary
should be filmed. Quite a catty little fight.

Here's a link to part of it - in glorious stereo. On the left are
various people talking. On the right is George and co playing.

Seriously though, you shouldn't take everything as a personal slight
against your poor old George. I seem to remember you annotating the
Geoff Emerick book. No, seriously, you shouldn't let it worry you.

Yeah, Brisbane's OK. It got flooded out over the summer and became
unbearably smelly, apparently. Friends of ours had to relocate to the

But we didn't see the fabs again. Obviously. John wasn't "that"

in a reunion.
he was seeing mates..even Macca..
So what? What went down is that there was no reunion. You have
to live with it. George even stated in 1973 or "74" that you can't
go backwards. "Why live a life that isn't real".....in his song "Be
here now". Without George, it wouldn't have been a Beatles
reunion.

Uh-uh. Come on. Put up or shut up.
*You* said "*Some* say she sounds like a poor cat stuck in a meat
grinder". That's the literal quote.
The onus is on you to provide evidence of these people you are referring
to who have heard a cat wailing as it has been fed through a meat
grinder. Unless of course you are being your usual disingenuous self,
and are in reality saying that *you* think Yoko sounds like a cat cat
stuck in a meat grinder and are simply too cowardly to state that it's
your own opinion.
It does boggle the mind, however, that someone would take delight in
imagining a small domestic animal being cruelly killed, merely to equate
it to the vocal sounds of an individual that they direct their obsessive
hate at. I can't even begin to imagine what sort of sick world your mind
inhabits.
Many years ago, I once watched helplessly as a cat ran across a busy
four-lane road, and went under the front wheels of a car. Its spine was
was crushed, but it still had enough life left in it to crawl back onto
the verge, whereupon it died. I'm not a cat person at all, but I
wouldn't wish that kind of thing on any animal. And you think it's funny
to imagine a cat being shredded alive by metal blades. You disgust me.
You really do.

Couldn't agree more Abe. John seems to always get a pass as an
innocent bystander in the whole Yoko thing, when in fact he could have
separated business from pleasure at any point, choosing pleasure and
leaving the group as soon as he saw it was not working for anyone but
himself. It was ridiculously unfair for him to expect the others to
adapt to his new choices if they chose not to.
I don't blame Yoko for anything but being in the right place at the
right time.

I really don't think the "weak, needy man-child thing" is far off the
mark, even going by his own remarks about himself, and certainly not
after considering his maternal history, and his jaunts with everyone
from the Maharishi to the conning Magic Alex. That whole quality
about him was part of what allowed him to be sensitive enough to write
many of the wonderful songs he wrote. I don't see it as a fault, more
a characteristic.
Lennon wasn't brainwashed, he was a man who made a lot of bad
decisions, like many of us. His was just on an international stage
where most of the rest of us make our mistakes in relative obscurity.

"Whatever one might make of this playlist (it seems to me to indicate

“torture” device sparked repertoire suggestions that were occasionally
laced with multivalent venom. Suggestions early that evening included
the music of Sousa, Welk, Donny and Marie, Barry Manilow, sound
effects ranging from Tibetan chants to rabbits being slaughtered, the
fantasy of Bill and Hillary singing “I got you, Babe”, and “anything
by Yoko Ono”. Ono soon became the subject of her own racist,
misogynist mini-thread. Mr Jazz wrote “You might as well stick panties
on the head of everyone in the village. At least THAT would be more
human than using Yoko Ono as a weapon of torture”. Straight Vermonter

the use of her music. And Ramius wrote

For the last time... YOKO COULD NOT BREAK UP THE BEATLES.

Quite possibly she made the rehearsals difficult. JOHN CHOSE TO KEEP
HER THERE AND LET HER CONTINUE.
Yoko did not break up the Beatles. The Beatles drifted apart. Yoko may

For an artist to be allowed to only contribute a couple of songs per
year would be very frustrating. But of course makes for a good triple
album down the road.

Pity he didn't release one. He did, however, release a good three sided
album that was padded into a triple album.

I don't compare Yoko to Hitler. Sorry about that.

Yes, they are. Thanks for sharing.

Robert, It's nonsense that Yoko broke up the Beatles. If
you keep saying the same thing each time, you start
to believe it....but, it doesn't make it the truth.

"Abbey Road" proves you wrong.
The "Get Back" sessions were just a little bit of a burping mistake.
They had enough brilliance to light the world with their tunes for a
good long time to come.

Actually, if you read "Body Count" by Francie Schwarz who was Paul's
girlfriend post Jane and pre Linda you could be forgiven for thinking
Paul had a big part in breaking up the Beatles.
Of course George was fed up (Francie said that he was fed up but he
"chose to be happy") but he looked for a solution - he suggested they
record and release solo stuff while continuing to work together.

If you like the whole album, fair enough, but it's not accurate to say
he had a triple album's worth of songs when a third of the album is
Apple Jam.

True, though I personally do enjoy the "Apple Jam" part. Not
something I listen to every day, but I enjoy it when I do.

"It's Johnny's Birthday" is a favorite of mine and has aged really
well, I think.

And THAT would have, could have and SHOULD HAVE been the answer!

No it's all right. She had a good long life.

I'll spell it out slowly for you.
I don't find the sound of animals in pain amusing in any way.
brilton
It's very hard to defend a comment like that. Fattuchus may be one of
the dimmest, most obnoxious, disingenuous creatures in all of Usenet,
but there are better ways of swatting her back down than that. And
please don't come back all wide-eyed and "what do you mean?"

Yes, for a blatent plagiarism, it's held up great!
This is the song George should have been sued over, not "My Sweet
Lord." Except the money payoff wouldn't have been as great.

I thought up a good quote for those who feel Yoko broke up the
Beatles: "To those who feel Yoko Broke up the Beatles,
you're most likely the type to blame someone else when
things go wrong in your own personal lives".

"Congratulations", a Cliff Richards record from 1968. The tune sounds
so familiar to me that I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they BOTH
ripped it off.

I always thought he's just singing on top of a pipe-organ recording of
"Congratulations"with his own words. (checks Wiki). Hell, I always
thought "Congratulations" was closer to being a standard, but in fact it
was written in 1968, and was even England's Eurovision entry!
Small side note - the 2000 remaster mixes up the order of the Apple Jam,
and starts with "It's Johnny's Birthday".
Another side note - Ringo also recorded a birthday tune for John's 30th.

I did, too, and I still do, but I couldn't find a citation for it, so I
left that part out. The organ recording is cheesy, but more competently
played than George could manage, I think.

I went to the video first and before I even looked at the Wikipedia
page, I thought "must have been a Eurovision entry."

LP plus bonus tracks was on CD #1 and the second LP plus Apple Jam was
on CD #2. You wouldn't have "Beware of Darkness" through "Hear Me Lord"
unless you had the Jam, too.
I burned myself a single CD-R with all the album proper (minus the
bonus and jam tracks) and that's what I listen to most of the time.
