    When he said "John waved at me and that was the last time I saw him..." I cried because I felt how grief-stricken he was. How sad and tragic! It shows that we have to cherish every single moment we can spend together because we don't know when a twist of fate arrives.

      A real nice guy he was..had he not left that night especially after chapman said I wouldn't leave if I was u...u might not see him again.. Paul said what r u talking about, I see him all the time. chapman was like he might move away to spain and u won't c him again... something like that.. I forget his words but still crazy, in johns last interview he says Spain...... Hard to believe Paul passed away so young.. But him and John made beautiful memories and shared them with us fans!
      update an auction house completed the sale of many of Paul's Beatles items, signed stuff original photos with the negatives, the pic of John signing Chapmans album ...this is what they told me by email
      Hi,
      In June we sold all of Paul's photos/negatives and the two books John signed for Paul. The last book that John signed for Paul sold for around $16,000.
      Paul's photos are all well documented, I am sure a quick google search will show you what is out there.
      paul asked me to handle his collection before he died and the estate honored his decision. The money is going to his estate.
      _--------_---+------------------------
      I felt the company was kind of rude to me but whatever I heard the pic of John signing for MDC went for over 36k...to me it be worth millions....the 16,000$ book, John had two books he wrote, he signed both for paul.
      he got John to sign a whole lot of things in the time that he knew him...I wish Paul was still alive, I'd love to have spoke to him
      at 4:46 John tries to lead Paul out and when Paul stops and talks John let's him go and seems very annoyed of Paul in those few seconds

      Isht it? Apparently because he was 'technically' not on the driveway nobody could say anything to him- even though he had his autograph - why shouldn't he stand outside a building where famous people lived, in the cold of December for hours and hours instead of going inside somewhere in the warm? I mean, what's strange about that? Just because he'd asked a ton of questions over the past 2/3 days, met his idol but still didn't bugger off- u can't just accuse someone of potential harm/malice because of that- they have rights. If they do then do something terrible, well we'll have a 'big inquest,' 'minutes silence,' 'a huge memorial,' 'never forget the victim,' ' feel sad and terrible about it,' 'lots of ttibutes'- but do anything logical to stop it happening in the first place? NO CHANCE!🙂

    Being a friend of Paul Goresh, living in the same complex he lived in, it is so sad that he is now gone. Paul did not offer much on his friendship with John Lennon, despite the fact he was friends, but he did divulge his scheme to penetrate his apartment as repairmen. Paul was a genuine fan, despite acting as a stalker, but he was the real deal. His account of his first meeting was at a cafe for about an hour, and after that meeting, John felt comfortable with him. John believed Paul was working for the media or the FBI and wanted no pictures taken of him. I recall Paul mentioning he wanted to destroy his camera. I was fortunate to meet Paul, for I had a project dealing with Bruce Springsteen, and the two of us came together, but little was done to make the most of this connection.

      He conned his way into his apartment where a young child was living - what's good about that? If Lennon hadn't softened up in his attitude towards him, maybe less idiots would've hung around outside, encouraging scum like ******n. What is it with hanging round people's houses anyway?? I mean really, GET A LIFE. Buy a record and go to the gig and wait politely afterwards like everyone else if u want an autograph- uve no business being around peoples' residence anyway being bloody nosey parkers. Lauren Bacall used to scream at all the busy bodies outside the Dakota as well- and Leonard Bernstein and his daughter walked past the piece of vermin on their way in on Dec 8th, then sat in their apartment shaking for hrs after the heinous act was committed. Mind your own business and sort your life out instead of intruding on others!

    With all due respect to Paul Goresh, there are inconsistencies in his account. Here he said that John signed a copy of his book for Goresh while both were in the Dakota. But in later accounts he claimed to have given the book to John to sign and John had it in his possession. Goresh said that he received the signed copy in the mail after John's death. And that the inscription, "Love, John" was unique because John never signed with the word "love".
    Other things Goresh said here make little sense, especially the claim that John didn't sign autographs. That is very simply untrue. John signed autographs _and_ took pictures.
    I don't know why Goresh changed his story over time. Little variations over time are natural, but those differences aren't small or insubstantial. The weirdest thing is that there was no need for Goresh to embellish a thing. He had a significant interaction with John.

    John freely walked about the streets of New York City by himself with no security all the time. He could have been shot numerous times in the past by anyone wanting to harm him. He said he loved New York City BECAUSE he could walk the streets without people bugging him all the time. In NYC it is common for people to see celebrities walking about, so people left them alone. It was the out of towners and tourists that went bonkers upon sighting a celebrity and would bug them. David Bowie did the same thing frequently walking the streets of NYC by himself.

      Lennon could've walked down the streets of London unmolested by annoying fans as well had he'd stayed, and probably would've lived beyond 1980. "Beatlemania" was long over, even before he moved to the states. John and Yoko moved to NYC because Yoko tricked John into believing that they were coming to get custody of Kyoko, the daughter Yoko finally remembered she had (after abandoning Kyoko to stalk Lennon for 2 years). John almost admitted as much when he gave an interview to Spin magazine in 1975.:
      *Q: Why do you want to live in New York now? Why in the U.S?*
      *John: "I only decided to live here after I'd moved here. I didn't leave England with the intention...I left everything in England. I didn't bring any clothes. I just came for a visit and stayed."*
      Which sounds to me like Yoko had John believing that they were just coming to pick up Kyoko and return to England as a family.Then like they always did when it involved Yoko, they revised the story to say that the public in England was mean and racist to Yoko, and they came where the anti-war/peace movement was strongest, and they came because New York was heart of the art world where Yoko wanted to be. Lennon should've stayed in England but then John's British family could've more easily helped him [Yoko translation: interfered with her domination and unrelenting control over her "prize"] and Yoko wasn't about to let that happen. John never set foot in Britain again. Even when he felt so homesick for all things British.

      TrustMe,I'mBlack - Maybe Paul Goresh embellished the story a little, but the proof is that he got the autograph of John (more than one, actually) and a photo together with John putting his arm around him. Also it's true that Paul Goresh's photo of John was used for the 45 rpm "Watching The Wheels" single sleeve. So there is some likelihood that Paul was telling the truth about his winning John over.

      In 1980, AFTER kidnap and death threats to the Lennon family, Yoko fired John's bodyguards days before his murder. Then refused to allow a grief stricken teenage Julian the comfort of having his mother travel with him for moral support. But here is the real kicker:
      *YOKO REFUSED TO PROVIDE BODYGUARDS FOR JULIAN TRAVELING ALONE WHEN NO ONE KNEW IF THERE WERE OTHER DETERMINED KILLERS LURKING AND WAITING FOR THEIR CHANCE TO MURDER MORE LENNONS!*
      The phony "peace and love" hypocrite had NONE for Julian Lennon!

    the narrator says that the picture of John getting into the limo is the last picture ever taken of John Lennon
    we know that this doc is from 1990 but the National Enquirer in early 81 maybe even late 1980 put the picture of John dead on their cover...
    so for the narrator to say it was the last picture ever taken of John Lennon is inaccurate because by 1990 he was dead for 10 years.,.. the National Enquirer had that picture and they put it on their cover 10 yrs before.. there's actually about 5 diff pics of him dead in the morgue... heartbreaking to see...
    so she should have said that picture was the last picture of him alive because of the ones that was taken of him before he was cremated... so in 1990 they can't say that they didn't know that picture existed..it's terrible somebody took a picture of that, it's not how we want to remember John and yeah this is just my two cents...plus yoko put it in one of John's videos. might be for woman I forget...why she'd do that is beyond me. gees and the bloody glasses....art? murder memorabilia....what u gonna do with those glasses when ur gone? can't see Sean or Julian wanting them...I like yoko alot but she's made some bad calls

Jose told us of how friendly he was with fans and that he wouldn't have hesitated to come down and meet us ! Later that year my heart was broken when I left the football game MNF patriots at Dolphins and put on the radio to learn that a crazy fan had just killed John Lennon outside the Dekotas apartments !

    the narrator," Paul took the last ever photograph of John Lennon," not true there's the morgue pic which is sad to see..I always wondered why the skin on his neck is weird on both sides...don't make sense. but if this was made in 1990 the only reason I see for saying that was that the morgue picture hadn't been seen yet.....but no that's impossible, as it was in the national enquire they put that pic on the cover of there paper or whatever it's called...it said psychic predictions for 1981....so I answered my own question...she knew that there was a pic of John dead, perhaps not wanting to hurt anyone with this little doc. she didn't say anything, and said that it was the last picture ever taken of John Lennon but in other docs Paul goresh says that turned out to be the last picture of him alive, so Paul obviously knew about the morgue pic...
    the girl speaking is annoying 02:33. upstairs. 03:47 what is that long thing?? looks like a gigantic guitar neck Paul's moment 10:38 although I heard stories of Paul giving MDC John's plans or something and they talked all day?? if they were both there I'm sure they talked alot. 13:02 this is where Paul got his picture with John... yoko looks annoyed.. looks like John's signing something, wish I could of met John, I was born on Dec 14th 1982.... my birthdate has alot of sad things that went on in the world... actually December 14 1980. yoko asked the world to observe 10 minutes of silence for john and ppl all over the world responded, I came along 2 years later....I wonder how many things did Paul ask John to sign for him over the year or more they knew each other.id love to have the signed book ...anyhow anybody know the name of the piano music? brilliant piece 13:00 also the photo of John and yoko at 13:00 was right before Paul and John got there picture together. recently I found another pic from this, it's zoomed out and Paul's looking at John...very nice and John's looking at the camera...30 seconds before Paul finally got his pic with john...yoko looks annoyed in the pic of John signing something for someone while holding his stuff for the studio in his left arm.
    Paul met John on Feb 12th 1979 so that would make Sean according to the date on this doc that he was 3 turning 4 in October. when he picks up Sean and walks away with him here he looks like a 7 yr old kid.....that's not the Dakota this is in this...when Paul goes up to John just leaving the building.. we see no place for the doormen by the gate, anyhow, I wonder what building it is...anyone find that Paul knocked on that door too much??? ha

  • @ArronP
    @ArronP 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    What I don't understand is if Paul got his book signed in 1979 when he first met John by posing as the VCR company guy and then he went back later on. because Lennon was a bit in a bad mood he was mad at his secretary for not telling him Paul was going to his place. but anyways he got his book signed in 1979..he went back in a week I guess?
    The day of his death Paul wanted to get his book signed..so I don't know why he had two books for John to sign?? and he did sign it for Paul on December 8th in the afternoon....so you got a book signed in 1979? And then he wanted one again the day John was murdered?? did John Lennon have two books or something?? because he received the book with his autograph a few days after he was killed so what am I missing here did he get his book signed in 79 and another one signed in 1980? I didn't know that John had a book up to a few years ago..did he have a second book??
    It's crazy cuz Paul was going to get his LP signed the next day but because of that trash he never got a chance to get his LP signed And really if he hadn't signed his album for his killer then this autograph that Paul got on the book would most likely be John's last autograph.but no it went to that fuckface..
    . I tell you one thing if that guy ever walks the streets again, somebody's going to take and end him...probably like the way he ended John.. John was loved by sooo many...so you often think of this scenario, that there could be somebody in that prison who was a major Beatles fan, and here is the guy who killed John Lennon... and just say if that other prisoner was doing life without parole he could kill chapman. it wouldn't matter he's in jail for the rest of his life anyway. I'm just surprised that nobody in prison has attacked him or hurt him really bad knowing what he did.. because a lot of people in there loved John Lennon and his music.. and here's the guy who killed him. A good example, the guy who killed Jeffrey Dahmer in prison. the guy was doing life,he had nothing to lose. He was in there anyways, so the same thing could be applied here to MC.. wouldn't it be nice?? Also, the photo of John deceased , I have a hard time believing that it's him...obviously it was, but idk his ear looks so big and the skin around his neck looks strange...it's just a very upsetting pic..

I just find that Paul waiting there to take pics, idk it's like he was just as obsessed with John as MDC I mean u take a car home get out and there's Paul snapping away...anyhow the memories remain,.. I though John got in a taxi with the RKO team?? He got a lift from the team in a taxi as they were going right by the studio.. cause John and yoko were going there at like 5-6pm... I'm confused cause that's the only time mdc could of got Johns autograph...next time MDC seen him he was ready to shoot him. Why do we not hear about the RKO team being there instead of just MDC and Paul? That timeline is different also, in other interviews Paul said that Chapman took the album back from John and didn't say anything he just nodded, but here he says MDC said yeah so which is it Paul?

    Too bad Paul didn't alert John to this weird guy outside but at that time who would have thought something would happen to John.

      he was right there when Lennon signed his record.... so he said John looked at him and he felt this was something strange...prob didn't think much of it, but they both thought MDC demeanor was strange....I know had I came home after signing the LP and this guys still waiting till John arrives home, I'm sure John remembered signing the LP earlier and prob didn't think much as he walked past MDC inside the archway where coward MDC shot him in the back 4 times., Lennon should of said something to MDC idk what, but like what r u waiting for? even Jose Perdomo on duty that night, u think he would of said to MDC go home, or u know..... all the what ifs ugh

      The doorman was a suspicious character, what was he doing that he could not see Chapman get into a combat stance and aim. Some people claim he was identified as a Cuban assassin part of the CIA.
      There is a video on TH-cam saying eight shots were fired at Lennon, either way too much does not make sense. Chapman had help getting the hollow point bullets and was being financed by some powerful group. Because a unemployed security guard could not afford all those trips to New York and around the world.

      @@ArronP I read in a book where that scum MDC said that " Lennon printed him alright" in other words When Lennon came back home he seen MDC and gave him a look like what is this guy still doing here? Seconds later he got shot. RIP John Lennon I love you and thanks for all the great music and your intelligence and great sense of humor!🎸🎸🎸🥁🚶🚶🚶🚶

    I actually believe his story. There's only one thing that doesn't check out: in this news story, he gets Lennon to sign his book when he's face to face with him in his appartement. John says, "I'll only sign it if you don't take my picture". However, in a 2010 documentary, "The Day John Lennon Died", John kept putting off signing his book, then finally it was delivered to Paul by mail, 8 days after the murder happened. So what's the truth about that? Not understanding.

      Mario Pincin - Because John wrote two different books. The first one was 1964's IN HIS OWN WRITE while the one seen in the 2010 documentary is 1965's A SPANIARD IN THE WORKS. Paul Goresh has said he has both books signed by Lennon.

      George Martin well Yoko stalked John herself for months according to Cynthia's book so even if he was a crazy stalker I guess to Yoko it's normal.

    I live in New Jersey and I'm not too far from where John used to live. It's only about a half an hour away so it's pretty much around the block. In fact I'm only a few minutes aaay from Staten Island. If John was still alive today there might have been a good chance I might have been able to meet him.

    RIP John and Paul. Even though the actor playing John Lennon doesn't really look or sound like him, I find it believable that he would want people to treat him as a man and not as a Beatle. I really think that if you treated him as John Lennon and saw past the Beatle image, he would respond much more favorably. What I know of John Lennon is that he never turned down an autograph and was extremely gracious to fans. Most of the time they were too busy to talk a whole lot to him. I know of one story right before he was killed and there may even be a TH-cam video of it where a fan tells John how much she loves "Double Fantasy" and you see John light up and say "Thank you". It's very genuine and he really meant it I think. Don't kid yourself, though. He knew he was a Beatle even when he was no longer a Beatle and he was extremely proud of that, too. But you had to get to know the man first and I think he would probably be the first to tell you that he's not perfect, don't put him on a pedestal, and that he and Yoko were a couple like most couples. I don't know many celebrities, but the few that I have interacted with, they appreciate when you treat them with respect and when you don't see them as gods or goddesses. They're human and I think that's how John wanted to be treated. Had he lived longer, I'm sure that John would have opened up more with Paul about his Beatles days.

      There's also that story in May Pang's book where a mentally ill fan stalks John's house and thinks he can be cured by looking into John's eyes. John's response was something like "I don't want anybody to think I can cure him. I'm just John, that's all I am." John does end up meeting this guy. I think it's the same guy from the Imagine movie?
