    John said that if you have to be in hospital, Scotland is the place to do it. The locals brought fresh scones and jam and salmon to Yoko and John every day. A local minister, per his son's story, decided to try to meet with John to discuss his "the Beatles are bigger than Jesus" comment. John was happy to meet with him while in hospital and they had a rollicking discussion for over an hour. The minister came away with respect for John, but never divulged anything other than that to his son.

    The clock on the wall in the kitchen is from johns childhood home Mendips. It hung in the Dakota building while John was there too. Yoko Ono brought the clock back to his childhood home where it hangs today.

    Why in Earthn would John want to leave this Gorgeous mansion to move to New York?? And walking around New York without any bodyguards.
    He might still be with us today if he just stayed in England, maybe just visit New York. Sad, I loved this man, and some Monster took him away from us all!
    I know he lives on in Heaven, without a doubt in my mind, him and George (Harrison) ..God Bless them ✝✝🚶‍♂🚶‍♂🚶‍♂🚶‍♂🌞 💕💕

      I hear you. I suppose the thing is John was brought up in Liverpool. The architecture there - particularly the late Victorian stone buildings are very reminiscent of NYC. He wasn’t a country boy and may have grown bored of the isolation of Tittenhurst and longed for the city. He did also say he enjoyed being in NYC because nobody bothered him so it’s not difficult to see why he chose to live there. However the rejection of a security detail and publicity of their daily movements in late 1980 was, tragically, to prove a fatal mistake. RIP John.

    I think John and Yoko's desire to be together became a bit obsessive, after the car crash John had a bed put in Abbey Road studios so that the recovering Yoko could still be with him when he was working there. Just a small correction regarding the Mr. Kite poster, it wasn't advertising a circus in London, it was in Rochdale in the north of England where I live.

      Obsession, sure. For Lennon, I think he just saw it as a great big joke. Like, "Lets see how far we could go with this thing now?"

    John's maternal aunt who you referenced was Aunt Mimi (real name Mary Elizabeth Smith).

    • @StrangeHistoryX
      @StrangeHistoryX  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      According to the Scotland Herald, "Lennon had been raised by his aunt Mimi, who during the summer holidays shared responsibility for him with her sister Elizabeth, known in the family as Mater. Her second husband was Bert Sutherland, an Edinburgh dentist whose family owned the croft in Durness." Lennon had cousins there, too. So Julian stayed with them before Cynthia went to retrieve him. It's entirely possible that Aunt Mi was there, but I don't know.

    Why so sarcastic about the notion of the crashed car being used as a conceptual art piece? As a result of the crash you then have a very unique item (ok, a damaged car) that can evoke a whole variety of reactions. If you have ever had the bad luck to be in a car crash it has a pretty big impact on your life and can dictate ones attitudes and fears towards driving/travelling as you realise how vulnerable you are. I think it's quite a powerful concept really. I know it's not for everybody but would there have been as much scorn if John had suggested it and not Yoko? She was an established artist from the avant garde pre-John, I think a lot of people forget that, don't know, don't care or have no grasp of what that means because they like The Beatles jolly love songs before they started 'going all weird' as the 60s - and they - progressed.

    See I don't care if my other half needs to use the bathroom while I am in there... Because it's not a big deal to me but is this a specific demand/request to explicitly be present while the other is using the loo so you don't miss time with them?...

    • @StrangeHistoryX

      Yep, they said they used the toilet together so they would not have to be away from each other. I think there is an interview out there with John saying that.

    If YOUR life was scrutinized under a microscope as Lennon's was I guarantee they would fight quirky habits about you that would otherwise embarrass you. It is true that Lennon seemed to enjoy sharing these quirky aspects of his life, yet we all have them but quietly keep them under wraps. Also, Lennon was an insecure human being. Many of us are. We display that insecurity in various ways.

      Why would I mention that? The video is about photos of John Lennon circa 1969-1971. Should every video that mentions Matthew Broderick mention that he is a murderer? He killed a mother and daughter. What about when I show photos of Eric Clapton and Jim Gordon? Should I mention that decades later he would murder his mother? Every tie I show a photo of someone should I mention crimes they were arrested for decades later? John Lennon was arrested. So was Paul McCartney. Should I mention that every time I show photos of them? We must all learn to separate the art from the artist. Phil Spector was a genius and everyone knows it.

    In my family, while we were not inviting each other to watch when we were using the toilet, it was not a taboo. The doors were usually unlocked, and whoever needed to get in and wash their hands or have a question could do so. Also, when one family member was having a bath, another could come in and use the toilet. When the door was not open we used to knock and ask if we could come in, but we never locked them. And I grew up without having any shame associated with these natural urges. The only time we would lock the doors was when someone who was not from our immediate family was in the house. And when I was in my 20s (in the 1980s), I remember an article in Cosmopolitan titled "Darling, shut the toilet door", which was in favor of not seeing your lover on the toilet to keep some of the mystery, so this wasn't probably not just my family. So, when John and Yoko "watched" each other using the toilet, it was probably not as a spectacle like "come and watch me", but more like "can I ask you a question while you are sitting there?" kind of thing. Or one of them sitting on the toilet and calling to the other one in the next room "I just had an idea, what do you think of that..." and the other one coming in to not have a conversation shouting.
