@@miryamamar5442 she doesn’t control Paul’s revenue. I believe she just controls John’s estate and legacy. Actually, Sean now heads that up, I think, now that Yoko is elderly and frail.
Yes..thank you. Quite frankly it's none of my business. I know what the Beatles music meant to me..still does. I think John talked about it..what a song means to the creator could be quite different to the enjoyer of the art.
As I’ve never met Paul, it’s very hard to say . The other Beatles were not so keen to praise the real Paul McCartney. I have a Physician friend who did have a radio talk show in NY in the ‘60’s. He interviewed the lads & also treated them for colds . He said they were funny, and cool , except for Paul . “Kind of a D*#k.” Who knows . I will forever wonder though , how he was ok w the fact that he received more royalties than his 50/50 partner John . This was always their verbal agreement Again , who can really say . Let’s just enjoy the music 😎.
I know, it's awful people treat the best personalities like shit as though it were a deficit. They are the only reason worth living,imagine everyone was a Yoko ugh.
Paul McCartney wow. This man is one of the greatest songwriters ever and he has so much class. You can tell how much he loves John that he was willing to find a middle ground and keep peace.
Well, the rest of us don't' need to find a middle-ground. Yoko Ono was into black-magic, casting spells, manipulation, and other things to keep John within her sights and somewhat under her control. It's common knowledge. Not everyone feels the need to be silent about it.
Actually it would have been better if he called before he died, not after he died. They were rivals and trying to prove to the other that they were the best one.
I watched the new doc, "Get Back" and I was moved by the part where Paul is defending John and Yoko in that he's a grown man, and he wants to be with her and they could not tell him that he couldn't. I felt like the hours and hours of film of making Let It Be showed the group of very intelligent, talented men whose music will never be forgotten and their progressive ideas were great. In this video for which I comment I still think the media or press, still here and to this day, try so hard to always find the squabble and negative things. Anyway, I am grateful for their music and message and for adding so much to my life!
Absolutely. What struck me about the film was the LOVE between these men who were more like brothers. And Paul's defending John's admittedly codependent relationship with Yoko was so kind; radical acceptance. If I didn't already love the Beatles this movie would make me do so.
John and Paul were wise beyond their years and so astute in their observations of people. I think Yoko was such a gutsy woman with tremendous backbone and strong character. John's intense attraction to her spoke volumes about him as a man as well. No leggy models or social conventionality for him. Just someone equally unique.
Yes, you can also tell that Lindsay-Hogg was trying to make Paul say something negative about Yoko because they started talking about her because he asked. Just like when he asks Ringo about India. He even says that he needed drama for the documentary. That's why he thought about the rooftop. Because he knew the police would come knocking to make them stop. He didn't expect to find such a polite group of people. Even when George leaves, they give him space and go to his place the day after and that other day. They don't yell or try to grab him. They just disengage because they know it's gonna make things worse. I like it when George is trying to be passive-aggressive and says that all of them should be themselves and they aren't, and Paul just answers: "mm" and John says: "All act normal, then" haha. They didn't want to fight him at all.
So did I. All these decades, the public narrative was so wrong. Even as a Beatles fan, I knew that the Yoko villain story was a bunch of crap-that Klein was more of the figure that “broke up the band”. But after watching the documentary, they seemed lost as if searching for a figure to step in when needed. Was very happily surprised to hear how Paul responded when asked about Yoko.
@@bigsistahtips you must have missed the part where Paul was suggesting a public building such as parliament where they would play until the police dragged them off.
I think Paul was for the team, he loved the Beatles, he loved the guys. Wanted to keep them together. Probably a perfectionist which is why George walked out but name a mainstream song the Beatles did which is not a masterpiece for the times & still is 50 years later.
And yet it was Paul who initiated legal action to officially dissolve the name and brand. That action was part of the reason why Michael Jackson was able to purchase the bulk of their songs.
@@369284ab Ludicrous to put Martin ahead of any of The Beatles in attributing their success. In 1964 American commentators were already calling them “The entertainment phenomenon of the century” George Martin said clearly that in those early days his no.1 job was merely to balance the sound of their records between voices and instruments. For every little story of bits of musical advice he gave them of which there aren’t that many (say, starting “Can’t Buy Me Love” with the chorus) there are plenty more of The Beatles refusing his advice (insisting on the final chord on “She Loves You”) The most crucial was of course, to refuse to record a cover as their second single. They were in charge of their destiny from that moment.
John P that’s a grossly ignorant opinion. The symphonic scores Martin wrote, mostly overnight after hearing an acoustic version of Eleanor Rigby, A Day In The Life, Strawberry Fields, I Am The Walrus and dozens more are nothing less than ingenious contributions to the brilliant songs the lads wrote. When the Beatles decided to step up the experimental compositions they leaned heavily on Martin’s wealth of knowledge in the classics and in all instruments and session musicians available. He scored and arranged all instrumentation outside of piano and guitars. To dismiss Martin as one who merely babysat the sessions is a childish observation.
Paul is such a nice guy. So kind and sweet. He didn't like Yoko. But John did, so Paul really tried to accept her. That's true love! I don't think Yoko ever loved John as much as Paul did.
You can tell how mature Paul is here in how he looks for the good in people and is open to new possibilities. It doesn’t even matter if he’s right or not, he just comes off as a very smart, nice guy.
I was going to comment on the same thing, she convinced John to screw Julian out of his inheritance so she would get it all. Nothing will convince me that she's not an evil bitch.
I love Yoko's voice. I also love fingernails on blackboard, squealing brakes on a train, smoke detectors on low battery, and the tortured screams of demons during a major exorcism.
He shouldn’t be all interested in that woman having a wife tho. That’s really friggin weird. Why pay so much attention to another woman you’ve gotta defend her Gross
If Paul wants to be fair about Yoko's persona and her being blunt and honest.... when it was determined that she and John wanted each other, she could have been discreet and waited for John to divorce Cynthia. But instead Cynthia comes back from I holiday only to find Yoko with John in HER person dressing gown ( bathrobe in U. S.)! Cynthia handle everything with civility, dignity and discretion. That's a Real Lady.
Paul was saying what he had to in order to help shape the Beatles legacy. Notice Paul made overtures to that witch, and she snipes at him to the day. Why? Because Paul saw through her and *still* does.
John was just dumb struck in love... Cant fault the guy.. But lets not kid ourselves, Im sure Yoko had a good side, but she was also a clingy, controlling, manipulating woman too.. She never gave John an inch of breathing room. My Dad was a roadie for The Rolling Stones in the 70's and he said Yoko would just follow John EVERYWHERE and that he witnessed them fight on numerous occasions over her kinda forcing herself into his business and situations. Yoko knew what she had and she wasnt about to let that up.
@@JonHop1 I can't help but think that after a while, John would've tired of her schtick and let her go. He would have paid dearly financially for it but it probably would've happened.
She didn’t abandon Kyoko in Japan, she grew up in the US. There’s nothing wrong with having a child with John, and while John wasn’t an active presence in Julians life you can’t say she treated Julian like crap. These are real people with complicated stories and reducing it all because you don’t like Yoko is not only lazy but irresponsible.
He admitting his possible errors in such a loving, warm way is stunning-and showing them to us as evolved feelings- unreal! Paul is truely sincere while believing in love as a reality! Wow Larry
Lets face it. John loved very in control women and Yoko was the one. Paul was trying to open the door and Yoko just slammed it in his face..I feel bad for Julian who had to search and buy his fathers stuff that really should have been his and Seans from the beginning. I have nothing good to say about Yoko
Since John lost his Mom, he was always looking for that mother figure...he even called Yoko "Mother" I hate to see brilliant men allow themselves to be ruled by a woman, treating his family & friends like trash. Julian was his son for goodness sake. John was and is a favorite, but because Paul is so incredible, he easily took the #1 spot. Yoko protects John's image, my respect ends there. Wishing her ✌ & ❤
Sean was very well looked after by kookoo. poor Julian was left out in the cold. he really did have to buy back wot joko sold off to auctions in order to get richer. using johns name. she even had the audacity to call stupid Cynthia and ask her "how do you raise s0ns". bitch are you for real? no wonder Joko got around the Beatles by using American authority. she can speak well English but talks broken English and calls westerners westerners. she's more American than Americans. but jellow.
The topic was Yoko! However, as a father of 4 and based on words coming out of Julian’s mouth, John was not good to Julian. That’s coming from a huge Beatle/Lennon MUSIC fan. I don’t have to love them as parents! As far as the dumb “grow up comment”, get a life! What is controversial here? Absolutely nothing. Go grind an axe with someone else.
Paul loved John more than anyone else. He was that close to John that he took it upon himself to call and ask after person he probably didn’t want to speak to at all. But he did it out of pure love and responsibility
She broke up The Beatles, and he easily could have got himself a real beauty, but she wasn't nearly the nasty plain brown paper wrapper Pushy Nasty American Girl the media portrayed her as, and whichever Paul it was she married, he loved her and she him.
True Beatle fans know the truth. John and Yoko's life was not this idyllic love story sold to us. Yoko had her ulterior motives in seeking John out, and yes she stalked him and his family. People need to do their research, and not fall for the Yoko PR machine. Paul has to do business with her as an ex Beatle and so at this point he can't be honest about his true feelings about her. You can see him holding his tongue, and being quite uncomfortable when choosing his words when being asked tough questions about her in many other interviews. It's very apparent he can't say how he really feels for fear of repercussions from her camp. I will never forgive her for how she treated Julian period.
@@dins5066 it's not a conspiracy, it's the truth do your research. the only thing that could be false is yoko stalking john, by the way she was terrible with john and julian
@@barbaragermani6458 Thank you Barbara. Yes, read Cynthia Lennon's book along with many very close insiders books, and you will find out she stalked John, Cynthia and Julian for 18 months. Cynthia was one of the kindest least bitter women you could ever imagine. She was always articulate and respectful when speaking of John. Yoko would go to their estate in England and threaten to kill herself outside on their lawn if John didnt give her money. Police were called and she was removed. John had his families phone number changed many times to avoid her. Why he wound up with her was shocking to many around him. She did stalk the family, and I believe Cynthia and those close to Lennon who back this story up.
I once heard John say in an interview that Yoko didn’t know who the Beatles were before they met and she only knew the name Ringo because that means apple in Japanese. But I find it near impossible that there was not a single person alive at that time who did not know who the Beatles were, they even performed twice in her home country of Japan if I’m not mistaken. There is simply no way that she did not know who John was when they met. I’ve hear two different accounts of how they met. One is from Paul HE says that he directed her to John, because she had a business question. and then there’s another one is that they they met at a museum.
@@thothmimir5201 She approached Paul first asking if she could have a piece of memorabilia for a John Cage fundraiser she was organizing. He turned her request down. Paul at one time said she hit on him during this interaction. He now has changed his story that she didn't and he sent her to John to see if he'd be willing to part with some of his memorabilia. I honestly think she went for Paul first, and was shut down fast, and then began stalking John and his family as Cynthia has written in her book. The love story of John and Yoko is not entirely true and poor John was suicidal one year before his death. His personal tapes he recorded as a form of therapy are here on YT. Yoko Ono, the witch, sold them. Things that no one should hear went to the highest bidder. Ive heard them and they broke my heart. Do you think a woman that loved him would do that to him? Sell his most personal confessions and him talking about committing suicide as we hear him walk to the window and finally he decides to climb back into bed. He confesses to thoughts no one should hear and she sold those tapes. Do I believe John loved her? Yes. Did she love him? No and shes shown it by her actions. She's not a good person and only looks out for herself.
I saw Yoko in Central Park last year in a wheel chair and not looking great, but I waved to her and she gave me a big smile and nodded her head which was nice.I also went to the Dakota the Night after John was shot and still can feel the sadness . Its the same sadness I experienced the night of 9-11 when I got home after being covered in dust from being in downtown Manhattan that day. It didn't register what had happened till later that evening.
I saw her do an performance art show and talk in 1989 I think at the riverside gallery in London. I was walking backwards at the entrance which was really crowded and someone put two hands on my back, I turned round and it was Yoko Ono saying excuse me very gently. It probably didn't happen exactly like that...…memory distorts, but that's how I remember our tiny encounter.
They actually got together musically for a minute and the macs invited him to new Orleans, yoko found out, new Orleans never happened. Very sad indeed.
Yoko was such a lovely woman that John lennon son julian had to take her to court after his death because he didnt leave his son a penny and yoko was in charge of his estate.i liked john lennons music but any man who abandons his kids is not a man for me and i dont see yoko as being any better,the court case dragged on for 16 years!!
Say it like it is . Personally I think she was a hard nosed hustler who saw Lennon as an opportunity to wealth and power . Poor Julian , being the victim of those two self centred , narcissistic shits
For somebody who had a "father" like John Lennon was to Julian, I'm with you! To your kid your genius means nothing - It's your fatherhood that does!! When mine died, I was only relieved, and no other feeling!
I find it telling that so many people cite Yoko's treatment of Julian to illustrate how terrible she really was. Yet those same people never consider how awful JOHN was to his own SON.
@@albinhansen97 No. It isn't meant to excuse Yoko in any way. It was merely asking why people didn't hold John accountable for his own abysmal behavior toward his son.
@@melaniedodge7101 Well of course he's a Great Man, a great British pop genius. She's an experimental Asian woman. Different rules. He's allowed to hit women and abuse his son. Boys will be boys. Everything bad is Yoko's doing. How convenient.
Yoko didnt need Paul's sympathy, she had John's millions. I remember how she sat in John's house in Cynthia's bathrobe and how very unloving she was to Julian. Tell it to someone who doesn't know better.
You remember because you were there? Then tell the whole story. Cynthia was coming back from a trip with her lover Magic Alex. Then John informed her he was filing for divorce for adultery. He did. Then Yoko came up pregnant and he had to change that.
Cynthia allowed John yo be with her freely even when John repented. Funny you leave the parts that ARENT her fault out. Paul doesn't hate Yoko, Julian doesn't even Hate Yoko anymore and admits HE WAS WRONG. let it go.
John died when he joined up with Yoko. The man became her puppet. I think Paul here is being his diplomatic and trying to keep things sweet with her for business reasons..but also because he's a nice guy.
Keep in mind this is an old interview. But a few years ago hé repeat about the same wordt, saying now hé can see more clearly the love between John and Yoko in the sixties.
The truth is, John had a pretty rocky relationship with Ono but because he had this deep seated fear and insecurity about abandonment, clung to her since she was a mother figure to him. I think she played him like a pro and became a filthy rich woman in the end, which I have no doubt was her objective right from the beginning.
Not only did he treat Julian like crap, there was also that crap she said about how Jews should've just slept with Hitler and they could've changed his mind. That itself is like, nope, she's cracked
@@orlytaylor9590 Its not antisemitic. Clearly she mentions nothing about Jews being inferior or anything. It's just crazy that she thinks a jew could've slept with Hitler, and suddenly his whole worldview would've changed
@@rowanmelton7643 Maybe her idea came from her sleeping with John. His mind certainly changed. Obviously, she knew nothing about Hitler and anti-semitism.
After all these decades, I’m still waiting for the change of heart that Paul is displaying here. The new footage in Get Back just reaffirms what I’ve always felt. Paul’s daughter Heather imitating Yoko’s howling pretty much says it all.
@@madelainemadelaine2934 sorry I wasn’t clear, I meant that Heather was being refreshingly honest in her feelings, not blaming her. And of course John is welcome to love whoever he wants to, but Yoko was clearly forcing herself into the studio with contempt for what was taking place.
@@mitchellglaser John actually forced Yoko into the studio because he liked controlling women. Even Paul said he does. And he even forced her to go into the bathroom with him
@@mirandahunt2688 John may have been quite the jealous guy, but he didn’t force Yoko to howl into a microphone or bring a bring a bed into the studio. You can see her obsession with being accepted as part of the group plain as day. And she was accepted, the way you accepted a twisted ankle.
@@mitchellglaser totally. i feel like only a few are seeing the same (as i do): that P was way too defensive of what he considered "the way things must be"... so, he reprehended G because he "couldn't play the part as it sounded in P's head" P was also sad/angry/jealous/frustrated of how he and J grew apart, and instead of realizing it is part of growing up (friends growing in different directions)... he oversimplified as "oh, the new factor is Y, it must be her fault". Y is not doing anything, anything at all different than what anyone who is asked to go see band rehearsing would do... first you are like "oh. this is exciting", then the "oh, this is boring" then the "ok, at least let me fool around too"... why on Earth people take her fooling around as "bitchy" but P&J fooling around are ok. (btw:the whole joke about the "Piece for soprano" is that it is a joke, but she pretends it's serious... classical Fluxus/Avant-garde... the same with "toilet piece" and most of the movement ). P even reprehends L when she tries to help... by calling her Y.
@@mitchellglaser sure she screamed into the mic but it’s not like anyone was trying to stop because they were just messing around, having fun, ever heard of it?
The apologetics Paul offers for Yoko Ono speak more to his character than to hers. He has always been ameliorating towards other people (even those who have really treated him very badly). Her behavior on the other hand, over the decades (not even as it pertains to the classic "She broke up the Beatles" mantra) makes clear that the woman is the worst kind of self absorbed narcissistic harridan. Lennon was forced to come to her defense and offer apologies on her behalf from the moment she appeared on the scene - not because of unwarranted attacks, but because her behavior demanded it. An insistence to appear on stage and howl like a wounded cat with Lennon during his musical performances to her bizzare public outbursts - set this this self proclaimed "artist" on the path to be one of the most detested public figures in history.
@@JimHuston66 that's NOT true lol.. Lennon and McCartney are locked together on their entire song royalties plus projects like the anthologies...Live in Las Vegas...the Free as a Bird single production and release.. the upcoming Beatles movie "Get Back".. on and on. You just don't realize
You know what I think? I think Paul is claiming something he didn't feel and would feel the same about Yoko for the rest of his life. It looks like Linda is a bit uncomfortable when he says "I think I've made a big mistake" her eyebrow goes up a bit like "oh, yeah? Really?"
Iv met Paul and Linda at a party at their house in Heswal...Linda was bloody lovely...I was only 19 years old and she came and sat with me and my girl friend and chatted. I thought it was so generous of her to make the effort...A really kind person....someone told me recently she borrowed them £20,000 to buy a house (a relative) But all the same just a lovely person. Paul was very normal too. No airs or graces just normal.
It takes an amazingly strong, self-aware, humble person to admit that you may be wrong about someone and reach out to make amends. A lot of people can't do that, myself included.
In a recent radio interview..just during the pandemic Paul said that Yoko did break up the Beatles . Sean said last year in a radio interview that him and his mother didn't see eye to eye on many things when he was a teenager.... He wanted to go to boarding school in England to be closer to Julian and he wanted to live in England. He said he felt closest to his dad there ...spiritually..and hated living in America for many years. Yoko would not allow him to go which he said he held a grudge with her for that for a long time. I feel Sean is speaking out more now his mum is so sick. I hear his mum needs carers now and rarely leaves the Dakato. Even prior to pandemic. Good on you Sean for loving Julian. Xo
The Beatles have always been cordial and still highly respectful of each other. They appreciate one another for their successes depended on them initially coming together and succeeding together as a band. With the recent videos shedding light on the Beatles with greater details and insights, it is interesting to note that they cared for one another and they always upheld that civility and cordial relationship despite many differences and fighting their internal desires or envy towards each other. Somehow they still got together and tried to make it work out even though you can tell a couple of individuals looked like they did not really want to be in the band again.
Yoko has forever been a narcissist bit.. . She didn't deserve John's loyalty & treated Julian & Cynthia like the classless, despicable psycho she's always been!
There was a lot to do after John's death with regard to Beatles business. Paul realized that Yoko was now 1/4 of the Beatles shareholders and if he wanted to enact business ideas that favored him he needed Yoko onboard for the vote to make things happen. He knows what she was like but he started to massage her public image to get her on his side and working together instead of against each other.
I absolutely love Paul. One odd thing I noticed while listening to old interviews and comparing it to the contemporary ones is how posh his accent became overtime…
In order for Julian Lennon to get back the letters he wrote to his father, he needed to bid on them at an auction because Yoko Ono would not give them to him. Julian needed to fight for years to get a fraction of his father’s wealth, which he used to buy memorabilia Ono auctioned off.
Paul forgot to mention that she tried to hook up with him first and when that didn’t work she went after John. She was a gold diggers and had to be sued to give a bit of money to Julian.
@@reyph03nyx It is true, but for all of her flaws it's boring slut shaming, so what if she tried to have sex with him? They were good looking dudes. She was a fairly renowned artist, she didn't need either of them. The only dodgy thing about it is when she tried to pretend she hadn't heard of The Beatles before she met them, sure lady. But it's hardly gold digging when she was successful before John.

@@evelynshore9489 I did have that in mind when I made the comment. The move was all based on Yoko's calculations. So A) What does that say about her? and B) John still chose to leave. (Also, Coogee Lane does make an excellent point).
@@moonstone6133 Roger Moore libra left his Italian wife for her bossy friend. I know one libra man who likes being told what to do by his wife. yes libra men weak.
Paul has a lot of class. He does not "like" Yoko. He saying this out of respect for his friend, John. Yoko treated Julian horribly. I really don't think had John lived they would have stayed together.
That's very sweet. I really came to appreciate Paul more while watching GET BACK. He wasn't as bossy or selfish as we had been led to believe. It felt like he was trying to be the grown up in the room while the rest of the band was a bit immature. They didn't seem like they cared to be in a band, but he did. He seemed a lot more invested in the Beatles than the rest of them and was maybe trying a bit too hard. He was also the only one who looked right into the camera and called out exactly what was happening. In the years since his insights are the ones that hold up to the test of time. Fortunately John came around eventually and admitted he was wrong about Alan Klein (and a lot of other things). I'm sure they would be great friends today if John had lived.
Hadn't seen this until now. SPM seems very sincere to me and self reflection in this way is a rare thing, especially in the world of celebrity when there's nothing to gain from it.
Paul is from heaven. I never loved the Beatles ( I liked them, but was more into The Who and LED Zep) , but I always deeply respected Paul as a person and musician. Yoko is one of the most vilified people in the history of popular music, and for good reason, but Paul gave her respect and grace here. Out of his love for his departed friend.
@@jonbush2370 thank you. I was trying to be magnanimous. In truth - If you gave me a choice of the big bands from 60-70’s ( Who, Zep, Stones, Floyd, Hendrix, Doors, Bowie, Allmans, Tull, Cream , etc ) The Beatles would be at or near the bottom. I didn’t hate them , I was just indifferent to them. Peace.
Lennon, for all the magic he brought to the table in The Beatles, I still feel he was envious of Paul's natural talent and likeable nature. And possibly of the other band members ability too. As anyone rightly would be. I find it also telling that 2 of John's best known solo songs (imagine & war is over) are really quite McCartneyesque.
I wonder how John would have felt if Paul had started bringing Linda to every Beatles recording session to sit next to him all the time and offer her critiques of the others' (including John's) work.
Exactly. It was John basically flexing. And I'm a huge fan of John. The one thing that drove Paul even after all that reefer was competition for just the sake of it. John did not care for that and so deliberately fucked with Paul. They were past friends they were brothers there love for each other goes beyond words. John was just being his pushy self and Paul was being his self critical self. I used to feel disdain for Paul thinking there was something about him that John hated and there was good reason to. Paul was just a kid I now see. He was not playing head games. And if he was he was just having a go at it never actually wanting to hurt or confuse anyone. Anyways that's just my piece. I can only imagine what sort of world we would live in if John was here. It's almost like a universal direction shift. Paul was content with the way things were. John would of made sure that the world didn't turn out the way it has. It's really beyond awareness to hypothesize the effect John's death had on the course of the world.
@@lyricberlin Did Lynda come everyday and sit in on the group as if she was part of it Lynda came occasionally and had the decency and discretion not to but in and answer for Paul
Paul McCartney is just a respectful guy. That’s the bottom line. You can see him trying to be as nice as possible when talking about her, but he’s struggling.
Paul McCartney has the sweetness and decency that comes with being a great musician if not one of the best. I see this and know it in Jimi Hendrix, whatever excesses he lived to, and Eric Dolphy whom I consider to be the greatest jazz musician who ever lived. And this even came through in Mozart whom people said in his time was too nice. He didn't know how to drive deals and earn the money he so clearly deserved. I don't know why this seems to happen with instrumental excellence. It certainly doesn't happen all the time, but I just think it's notable for how often it actually does happen.
You know none of these people or how they operate off camera. You’re not a musician whisperer, you’re some person pretending they know people and using that as justification to speak about their life as if you do.

After watching them doing freakout jams when they had nothing else to do or couldn't practice as The Beatles in Get Back, I enjoy learning about their relationship. Yoko always seemed chill while they practiced and have fun with John and Paul when she could.
That wasnt love! that was having your brain scrambled by Arty sycophants into thinking any old junk can be art.Heroin became John's tea introduced by Yoko, this is a trick often used by pimps to make prostitutes easy to mindcontrol,she was from an elite powerful banking family already had a child taken away and been in a mad house,her art friends in London even said all they needed was money and that was her main job.This was her way to the top!she tried getting money from Paul first to subsidise her career which didnt work!John was the last shot at the golden goose pretending she didnt know who the Beatles where?tell me another one!but sometimes it is like this when dominated mentally it's called Stockholm syndrome!

Paul is great.

Agreed
As I’ve never met Paul, it’s very hard to say . The other Beatles were not so keen to praise the real Paul McCartney. I have a Physician friend who did have a radio talk show in NY in the ‘60’s. He interviewed the lads & also treated them for colds . He said they were funny, and cool , except for Paul . “Kind of a D*#k.”
Who knows . I will forever wonder though , how he was ok w the fact that he received more royalties than his 50/50 partner John . This was always their verbal agreement
Again , who can really say . Let’s just enjoy the music 😎.
So wonderfully typical of Paul. Always striving to see the GOOD in all situations. That's because Paul is a GOOD person
Umm …. If you really delve into the Beatles history you will find that Paul was a cement head as well.
@@cecilnoriega7276 I think ALL super gifted people have their "quirks"
Or very good at being politically (business) correct!
I know, it's awful people treat the best personalities like shit as though it were a deficit. They are the only reason worth living,imagine everyone was a Yoko ugh.
Paul is such a PR person. To me he always comes across as being a person who says the correct thing in interviews , but it rings untrue
Paul McCartney wow. This man is one of the greatest songwriters ever and he has so much class. You can tell how much he loves John that he was willing to find a middle ground and keep peace.
Right 👍
Well, the rest of us don't' need to find a middle-ground. Yoko Ono was into black-magic, casting spells, manipulation, and other things to keep John within her sights and somewhat under her control. It's common knowledge. Not everyone feels the need to be silent about it.
Yoko also sang Give Peace a Chance right? :)
Actually it would have been better if he called before he died, not after he died. They were rivals and trying to prove to the other that they were the best one.
@@mhoroky Sources of your stupidity? You like it or not, John Lennon loved her. Period.
Linda was lovely. A true soul mate for Paul.
I watched the new doc, "Get Back" and I was moved by the part where Paul is defending John and Yoko in that he's a grown man, and he wants to be with her and they could not tell him that he couldn't. I felt like the hours and hours of film of making Let It Be showed the group of very intelligent, talented men whose music will never be forgotten and their progressive ideas were great. In this video for which I comment I still think the media or press, still here and to this day, try so hard to always find the squabble and negative things. Anyway, I am grateful for their music and message and for adding so much to my life!
Absolutely. What struck me about the film was the LOVE between these men who were more like brothers. And Paul's defending John's admittedly codependent relationship with Yoko was so kind; radical acceptance. If I didn't already love the Beatles this movie would make me do so.
John and Paul were wise beyond their years and so astute in their observations of people. I think Yoko was such a gutsy woman with tremendous backbone and strong character. John's intense attraction to her spoke volumes about him as a man as well. No leggy models or social conventionality for him. Just someone equally unique.
Yes, you can also tell that Lindsay-Hogg was trying to make Paul say something negative about Yoko because they started talking about her because he asked. Just like when he asks Ringo about India. He even says that he needed drama for the documentary. That's why he thought about the rooftop. Because he knew the police would come knocking to make them stop. He didn't expect to find such a polite group of people. Even when George leaves, they give him space and go to his place the day after and that other day. They don't yell or try to grab him. They just disengage because they know it's gonna make things worse.
I like it when George is trying to be passive-aggressive and says that all of them should be themselves and they aren't, and Paul just answers: "mm" and John says: "All act normal, then" haha. They didn't want to fight him at all.
So did I. All these decades, the public narrative was so wrong. Even as a Beatles fan, I knew that the Yoko villain story was a bunch of crap-that Klein was more of the figure that “broke up the band”. But after watching the documentary, they seemed lost as if searching for a figure to step in when needed.
Was very happily surprised to hear how Paul responded when asked about Yoko.
@@bigsistahtips you must have missed the part where Paul was suggesting a public building such as parliament where they would play until the police dragged them off.
I think Paul was for the team, he loved the Beatles, he loved the guys. Wanted to keep them together. Probably a perfectionist which is why George walked out but name a mainstream song the Beatles did which is not a masterpiece for the times & still is 50 years later.
Paul was definitely the commercial success behind the Beatles...a long with Martin
And yet it was Paul who initiated legal action to officially dissolve the name and brand. That action was part of the reason why Michael Jackson was able to purchase the bulk of their songs.
@@369284ab Ludicrous to put Martin ahead of any of The Beatles in attributing their success. In 1964 American commentators were already calling them “The entertainment phenomenon of the century” George Martin said clearly that in those early days his no.1 job was merely to balance the sound of their records between voices and instruments. For every little story of bits of musical advice he gave them of which there aren’t that many (say, starting “Can’t Buy Me Love” with the chorus) there are plenty more of The Beatles refusing his advice (insisting on the final chord on “She Loves You”) The most crucial was of course, to refuse to record a cover as their second single. They were in charge of their destiny from that moment.
John P that’s a grossly ignorant opinion. The symphonic scores Martin wrote, mostly overnight after hearing an acoustic version of Eleanor Rigby, A Day In The Life, Strawberry Fields, I Am The Walrus and dozens more are nothing less than ingenious contributions to the brilliant songs the lads wrote. When the Beatles decided to step up the experimental compositions they leaned heavily on Martin’s wealth of knowledge in the classics and in all instruments and session musicians available. He scored and arranged all instrumentation outside of piano and guitars. To dismiss Martin as one who merely babysat the sessions is a childish observation.
Maxwell's Silver Hammer??
Paul is such a nice guy. So kind and sweet. He didn't like Yoko. But John did, so Paul really tried to accept her. That's true love! I don't think Yoko ever loved John as much as Paul did.
A true gentleman
Because love should be competitive, shouldn't it?
How do you know, did you know him personally? What a banal statement to make.
*Go and read the reports of the split between he and Heather Mills. He isn't the 'St. Paul' most think he is.*
@@MattSingh1 No, he isn't, I've been aware of that for the longest time.
You can tell how mature Paul is here in how he looks for the good in people and is open to new possibilities. It doesn’t even matter if he’s right or not, he just comes off as a very smart, nice guy.
Paul is being kind for johns sake and that shows how much he loved him. Yokos actions speak volumes as to the person she really is.
Yoko is an amazing person. Too bad people are so eager to be racists and hate on her for something she never did.

What did she do?
@@tanveerhasan2382 Cut him out of the Lennon estate after John's death, and wouldn't give him the letters that he and John exchanged.
If Paul wants to be fair about Yoko's persona and her being blunt and honest.... when it was determined that she and John wanted each other, she could have been discreet and waited for John to divorce Cynthia. But instead Cynthia comes back from I holiday only to find Yoko with John in HER person dressing gown ( bathrobe in U. S.)! Cynthia handle everything with civility, dignity and discretion. That's a Real Lady.
Absolutely!!
@@tanveerhasan2382 please catch up
So now we can see what John saw in her… very nice of Paul to be considerate and call her with John in mind.❤️ Beautiful!
If you believe that story. More likely it was for business purposes.
Paul was saying what he had to in order to help shape the Beatles legacy. Notice Paul made overtures to that witch, and she snipes at him to the day. Why? Because Paul saw through her and *still* does.
John was just dumb struck in love... Cant fault the guy.. But lets not kid ourselves, Im sure Yoko had a good side, but she was also a clingy, controlling, manipulating woman too.. She never gave John an inch of breathing room. My Dad was a roadie for The Rolling Stones in the 70's and he said Yoko would just follow John EVERYWHERE and that he witnessed them fight on numerous occasions over her kinda forcing herself into his business and situations. Yoko knew what she had and she wasnt about to let that up.
@@JonHop1 I can't help but think that after a while, John would've tired of her schtick and let her go. He would have paid dearly financially for it but it probably would've happened.

Yoko literally abandoned her own daughter in Japan, had a kid with John, and treated Julian like crap.
Horrible person! She's trash. Your comment said it all.
Wow
She didn’t abandon Kyoko in Japan, she grew up in the US. There’s nothing wrong with having a child with John, and while John wasn’t an active presence in Julians life you can’t say she treated Julian like crap. These are real people with complicated stories and reducing it all because you don’t like Yoko is not only lazy but irresponsible.
@@lukebrown5855 shut up, yoko
And you know this ... how?
He admitting his possible errors in such a loving, warm way is stunning-and showing them to us as evolved feelings- unreal! Paul is truely sincere while believing in love as a reality! Wow

Lets face it. John loved very in control women and Yoko was the one. Paul was trying to open the door and Yoko just slammed it in his face..I feel bad for Julian who had to search and buy his fathers stuff that really should have been his and Seans from the beginning. I have nothing good to say about Yoko
Since John lost his Mom, he was always looking for that mother figure...he even called Yoko "Mother" I hate to see brilliant men allow themselves to be ruled by a woman, treating his family & friends like trash. Julian was his son for goodness sake. John was and is a favorite, but because Paul is so incredible, he easily took the #1 spot. Yoko protects John's image, my respect ends there. Wishing her ✌ & ❤
I think Yoko treated Julian so very badly, it us hard to understand that. He is John’s son and deserved lots better.
@@LHeminway jealousy
Sean was very well looked after by kookoo. poor Julian was left out in the cold. he really did have to buy back wot joko sold off to auctions in order to get richer. using johns name. she even had the audacity to call stupid Cynthia and ask her "how do you raise s0ns". bitch are you for real? no wonder Joko got around the Beatles by using American authority. she can speak well English but talks broken English and calls westerners westerners. she's more American than Americans. but jellow.
We all have our own story…..not right for someone to trash our story.
She refused to give any inheritance to John’s son Julian. Julian had to fight to get anything. That was sad & unfair.

How are we experts? We are on the outside. You cannot be sure of everything. So I wouldn't speak in absolutes.
Paul loved John more than anyone else. He was that close to John that he took it upon himself to call and ask after person he probably didn’t want to speak to at all. But he did it out of pure love and responsibility
Well he has a sense of fairness, and he knew that both he and Yoko had suffered immense loss with the death of John. It's natural to reach out.
Linda is such a lovely, beautiful woman. She and Paul were a great team ❤❤
She broke up The Beatles, and he easily could have got himself a real beauty, but she wasn't nearly the nasty plain brown paper wrapper Pushy Nasty American Girl the media portrayed her as, and whichever Paul it was she married, he loved her and she him.
Paul seems like he's being gracious and generous.
True Beatle fans know the truth. John and Yoko's life was not this idyllic love story sold to us. Yoko had her ulterior motives in seeking John out, and yes she stalked him and his family. People need to do their research, and not fall for the Yoko PR machine. Paul has to do business with her as an ex Beatle and so at this point he can't be honest about his true feelings about her. You can see him holding his tongue, and being quite uncomfortable when choosing his words when being asked tough questions about her in many other interviews. It's very apparent he can't say how he really feels for fear of repercussions from her camp. I will never forgive her for how she treated Julian period.
Here we go with the conspiracy fanatics. SMH
@@dins5066 it's not a conspiracy, it's the truth do your research. the only thing that could be false is yoko stalking john, by the way she was terrible with john and julian
@@barbaragermani6458 Thank you Barbara. Yes, read Cynthia Lennon's book along with many very close insiders books, and you will find out she stalked John, Cynthia and Julian for 18 months. Cynthia was one of the kindest least bitter women you could ever imagine. She was always articulate and respectful when speaking of John. Yoko would go to their estate in England and threaten to kill herself outside on their lawn if John didnt give her money. Police were called and she was removed. John had his families phone number changed many times to avoid her. Why he wound up with her was shocking to many around him. She did stalk the family, and I believe Cynthia and those close to Lennon who back this story up.
I once heard John say in an interview that Yoko didn’t know who the Beatles were before they met and she only knew the name Ringo because that means apple in Japanese.
But I find it near impossible that there was not a single person alive at that time who did not know who the Beatles were, they even performed twice in her home country of Japan if I’m not mistaken.
There is simply no way that she did not know who John was when they met.
I’ve hear two different accounts of how they met. One is from Paul HE says that he directed her to John, because she had a business question. and then there’s another one is that they they met at a museum.
@@thothmimir5201 She approached Paul first asking if she could have a piece of memorabilia for a John Cage fundraiser she was organizing. He turned her request down. Paul at one time said she hit on him during this interaction. He now has changed his story that she didn't and he sent her to John to see if he'd be willing to part with some of his memorabilia. I honestly think she went for Paul first, and was shut down fast, and then began stalking John and his family as Cynthia has written in her book. The love story of John and Yoko is not entirely true and poor John was suicidal one year before his death. His personal tapes he recorded as a form of therapy are here on YT. Yoko Ono, the witch, sold them. Things that no one should hear went to the highest bidder. Ive heard them and they broke my heart. Do you think a woman that loved him would do that to him? Sell his most personal confessions and him talking about committing suicide as we hear him walk to the window and finally he decides to climb back into bed. He confesses to thoughts no one should hear and she sold those tapes. Do I believe John loved her? Yes. Did she love him? No and shes shown it by her actions. She's not a good person and only looks out for herself.

I see comments on John's poor treatment of Julian all the time. And towards Cynthia.
Yoko didnt need Paul's sympathy, she had John's millions. I remember how she sat in John's house in Cynthia's bathrobe and how very unloving she was to Julian. Tell it to someone who doesn't know better.
Right!!! That’s the point!!!
You remember because you were there? Then tell the whole story. Cynthia was coming back from a trip with her lover Magic Alex. Then John informed her he was filing for divorce for adultery. He did. Then Yoko came up pregnant and he had to change that.
Cynthia allowed John yo be with her freely even when John repented. Funny you leave the parts that ARENT her fault out. Paul doesn't hate Yoko, Julian doesn't even Hate Yoko anymore and admits HE WAS WRONG. let it go.
John died when he joined up with Yoko. The man became her puppet. I think Paul here is being his diplomatic and trying to keep things sweet with her for business reasons..but also because he's a nice guy.
@ Paul Andrew I agree with you totally here.
Keep in mind this is an old interview. But a few years ago hé repeat about the same wordt, saying now hé can see more clearly the love between John and Yoko in the sixties.
The truth is, John had a pretty rocky relationship with Ono but because he had this deep seated fear and insecurity about abandonment, clung to her since she was a mother figure to him. I think she played him like a pro and became a filthy rich woman in the end, which I have no doubt was her objective right from the beginning.
@@Dana-wq5tp Spot on!

@@mitchellglaser totally. i feel like only a few are seeing the same (as i do):
that P was way too defensive of what he considered "the way things must be"... so, he reprehended G because he "couldn't play the part as it sounded in P's head"
P was also sad/angry/jealous/frustrated of how he and J grew apart, and instead of realizing it is part of growing up (friends growing in different directions)... he oversimplified as "oh, the new factor is Y, it must be her fault". Y is not doing anything, anything at all different than what anyone who is asked to go see band rehearsing would do... first you are like "oh. this is exciting", then the "oh, this is boring" then the "ok, at least let me fool around too"... why on Earth people take her fooling around as "bitchy" but P&J fooling around are ok. (btw:the whole joke about the "Piece for soprano" is that it is a joke, but she pretends it's serious... classical Fluxus/Avant-garde... the same with "toilet piece" and most of the movement ).
P even reprehends L when she tries to help... by calling her Y.
@@mitchellglaser sure she screamed into the mic but it’s not like anyone was trying to stop because they were just messing around, having fun, ever heard of it?

@Luke Right! That’s why John called Yoko “Mother “, way before Sean was born.
Well Paul, shows your judgement was off. How she treated Julian says it all about her.
When The Beatles saw Yoko,
they all said “Oh No” !!!
The apologetics Paul offers for Yoko Ono speak more to his character than to hers. He has always been ameliorating towards other people (even those who have really treated him very badly). Her behavior on the other hand, over the decades (not even as it pertains to the classic "She broke up the Beatles" mantra) makes clear that the woman is the worst kind of self absorbed narcissistic harridan. Lennon was forced to come to her defense and offer apologies on her behalf from the moment she appeared on the scene - not because of unwarranted attacks, but because her behavior demanded it. An insistence to appear on stage and howl like a wounded cat with Lennon during his musical performances to her bizzare public outbursts - set this this self proclaimed "artist" on the path to be one of the most detested public figures in history.
Fact is .. that Paul HAD TO GET ALONG WITH HER... DUE TO THE NECESSITY OF BUSINESS
But he called her after John died. So the Beatles were canned by this point. They had no working relationship

Iv met Paul and Linda at a party at their house in Heswal...Linda was bloody lovely...I was only 19 years old and she came and sat with me and my girl friend and chatted. I thought it was so generous of her to make the effort...A really kind person....someone told me recently she borrowed them £20,000 to buy a house (a relative) But all the same just a lovely person. Paul was very normal too. No airs or graces just normal.
It takes an amazingly strong, self-aware, humble person to admit that you may be wrong about someone and reach out to make amends. A lot of people can't do that, myself included.
A man after my ❤️. How wonderful that he could change his mind about Yoko. Few people will ever admit they are wrong about anything.
Wow! The diplomacy-Good for you Paul. I couldn’t have done it.
A nice thing to say. when a man can admitted he may have been wrong is truly a man.
In a recent radio interview..just during the pandemic Paul said that Yoko did break up the Beatles .
Sean said last year in a radio interview that him and his mother didn't see eye to eye on many things when he was a teenager.... He wanted to go to boarding school in England to be closer to Julian and he wanted to live in England. He said he felt closest to his dad there ...spiritually..and hated living in America for many years.
Yoko would not allow him to go which he said he held a grudge with her for that for a long time.
I feel Sean is speaking out more now his mum is so sick. I hear his mum needs carers now and rarely leaves the Dakato. Even prior to pandemic.
Good on you Sean for loving Julian. Xo
And what interview did he say that? Because on Howard stern and other shows he said that Yoko didn’t break up the Beatles, John did because he left
Paul I’m EVERY interview that i have seen , ALWAYS speaks the truth , never seems to embellish - I really like that …
The Beatles have always been cordial and still highly respectful of each other. They appreciate one another for their successes depended on them initially coming together and succeeding together as a band.
With the recent videos shedding light on the Beatles with greater details and insights, it is interesting to note that they cared for one another and they always upheld that civility and cordial relationship despite many differences and fighting their internal desires or envy towards each other. Somehow they still got together and tried to make it work out even though you can tell a couple of individuals looked like they did not really want to be in the band again.
Yoko has forever been a narcissist bit.. . She didn't deserve John's loyalty & treated Julian & Cynthia like the classless, despicable psycho she's always been!
Wow this is satisfying to hear! Every Beatles fan should hear this. Very wholesome moment.
@@kentclark6420 Yoko's actions speak to her character.
There was a lot to do after John's death with regard to Beatles business. Paul realized that Yoko was now 1/4 of the Beatles shareholders and if he wanted to enact business ideas that favored him he needed Yoko onboard for the vote to make things happen. He knows what she was like but he started to massage her public image to get her on his side and working together instead of against each other.
All about that money and family fortune end of the day.
Anyone who has ever witnessed one of her 'performances' can draw their own conclusions about Yoko...
I loved the one where she wore a full sz kotex on her forehead b4 she started the catterwalling...john joined her that batshit land sometimes tho...
I love these two. This was a sweet resolve I needed
I absolutely love Paul. One odd thing I noticed while listening to old interviews and comparing it to the contemporary ones is how posh his accent became overtime…
Thank you for the inspiring word, Linda
In order for Julian Lennon to get back the letters he wrote to his father, he needed to bid on them at an auction because Yoko Ono would not give them to him. Julian needed to fight for years to get a fraction of his father’s wealth, which he used to buy memorabilia Ono auctioned off.
Paul forgot to mention that she tried to hook up with him first and when that didn’t work she went after John. She was a gold diggers and had to be sued to give a bit of money to Julian.
WHAT
@@reyph03nyx It is true, but for all of her flaws it's boring slut shaming, so what if she tried to have sex with him? They were good looking dudes. She was a fairly renowned artist, she didn't need either of them. The only dodgy thing about it is when she tried to pretend she hadn't heard of The Beatles before she met them, sure lady. But it's hardly gold digging when she was successful before John.
@@Spaced92 You have a fair point, but still that does sound suspicious, and she did some mean things. Also, I'n not exactly a Yoko fan.
John didn't always see her as peaches and cream, either. That's why he left Yoko for his 18-month long Lost Weekend.
It was Yoko who set John up with May Pang and told him to go to LA
@@evelynshore9489 that's true. read MAY PANG BOOK. Joko got it on with a guitarist from johns band to promote her singing? career. when it didn't get anywhere she called john back and told MAY thanks for looking after him. john was is a weak man typical libra men they need STRONG woman to tell them what to do.
@@evelynshore9489 I did have that in mind when I made the comment. The move was all based on Yoko's calculations. So A) What does that say about her? and B) John still chose to leave. (Also, Coogee Lane does make an excellent point).
@@user-xk4wj6ge5b did you seriously have to add the "weak libra" thing? i doubt his zodiac sign had anything to do with this
@@moonstone6133 Roger Moore libra left his Italian wife for her bossy friend. I know one libra man who likes being told what to do by his wife. yes libra men weak.
Yoko backwards is Okoy which is a deep fried fritter. Which she is
😂
She’s a backwards deep fried fritter
I-I've never seen such insightful words
😭😂😂
Help😂
Paul has a lot of class. He does not "like" Yoko. He saying this out of respect for his friend, John. Yoko treated Julian horribly. I really don't think had John lived they would have stayed together.
That's very sweet. I really came to appreciate Paul more while watching GET BACK. He wasn't as bossy or selfish as we had been led to believe. It felt like he was trying to be the grown up in the room while the rest of the band was a bit immature. They didn't seem like they cared to be in a band, but he did. He seemed a lot more invested in the Beatles than the rest of them and was maybe trying a bit too hard. He was also the only one who looked right into the camera and called out exactly what was happening. In the years since his insights are the ones that hold up to the test of time. Fortunately John came around eventually and admitted he was wrong about Alan Klein (and a lot of other things). I'm sure they would be great friends today if John had lived.
Hadn't seen this until now. SPM seems very sincere to me and self reflection in this way is a rare thing, especially in the world of celebrity when there's nothing to gain from it.
some body language by Paul suggesting he's having trouble with this.
Paul has to be civil, she has John's vote on all Beatles related projects.
Paul is from heaven. I never loved the Beatles ( I liked them, but was more into The Who and LED Zep) , but I always deeply respected Paul as a person and musician. Yoko is one of the most vilified people in the history of popular music, and for good reason, but Paul gave her respect and grace here. Out of his love for his departed friend.
Thank you for being honest about your feelings for that band.
You still have a lot more fondness for them than I do.
@@jonbush2370 thank you. I was trying to be magnanimous. In truth - If you gave me a choice of the big bands from 60-70’s ( Who, Zep, Stones, Floyd, Hendrix, Doors, Bowie, Allmans, Tull, Cream , etc ) The Beatles would be at or near the bottom. I didn’t hate them , I was just indifferent to them.
Peace.
@@michaelcavallacci2945 you're awesome!
In addition to his other cosmic talents Paul is a master of understatement
John shoulda kept yoko out!!!! of the studio!!! and yoko shoulda understood .
..but what Paul said was nice..
I shook her hand. She scared the shit out of me. And she was beautiful!
Lennon, for all the magic he brought to the table in The Beatles, I still feel he was envious of Paul's natural talent and likeable nature. And possibly of the other band members ability too. As anyone rightly would be. I find it also telling that 2 of John's best known solo songs (imagine & war is over) are really quite McCartneyesque.
Actually, John admitted Yoko wrote Imagine. You can tell that if you ever read Grapefruit.
John borrowed from Phil Ochs' War is Over. It was from I Ain't Marching Anymore.
@@lyricberlin And Yoko had a crush on Paul first .
I don’t know.
Her selling John’s stuff, and Julian having to buy it to have letters of his father; speaks volumes as to who she is.
I wonder how John would have felt if Paul had started bringing Linda to every Beatles recording session to sit next to him all the time and offer her critiques of the others' (including John's) work.
Exactly. It was John basically flexing. And I'm a huge fan of John. The one thing that drove Paul even after all that reefer was competition for just the sake of it. John did not care for that and so deliberately fucked with Paul. They were past friends they were brothers there love for each other goes beyond words. John was just being his pushy self and Paul was being his self critical self. I used to feel disdain for Paul thinking there was something about him that John hated and there was good reason to. Paul was just a kid I now see. He was not playing head games. And if he was he was just having a go at it never actually wanting to hurt or confuse anyone. Anyways that's just my piece. I can only imagine what sort of world we would live in if John was here. It's almost like a universal direction shift. Paul was content with the way things were. John would of made sure that the world didn't turn out the way it has. It's really beyond awareness to hypothesize the effect John's death had on the course of the world.
Well now we see Paul did bring Linda and Heather.
@@stephenstrang590 Well eat your words. We now see Paul did bring Linda and Heather.
@@lyricberlin Did Lynda come everyday and sit in on the group as if she was part of it Lynda came occasionally and had the decency and discretion not to but in and answer for Paul
This comment aged poorly. You are right
Paul McCartney is just a respectful guy. That’s the bottom line. You can see him trying to be as nice as possible when talking about her, but he’s struggling.
Paul is a real gentleman.
Paul McCartney has the sweetness and decency that comes with being a great musician if not one of the best. I see this and know it in Jimi Hendrix, whatever excesses he lived to, and Eric Dolphy whom I consider to be the greatest jazz musician who ever lived. And this even came through in Mozart whom people said in his time was too nice. He didn't know how to drive deals and earn the money he so clearly deserved.
I don't know why this seems to happen with instrumental excellence. It certainly doesn't happen all the time, but I just think it's notable for how often it actually does happen.
You know none of these people or how they operate off camera. You’re not a musician whisperer, you’re some person pretending they know people and using that as justification to speak about their life as if you do.
@@RenSako Now's not the time to be coy, buddy. You walked in here all tough at first. Stand up for once in your life. What did you gain from this? Who gives a fuck about this other than you? You want to run around with a bent ego? Damaged rep? Speak up.
@@RenSako Anyways, now that we've established you're a coward, do you go after biographers with this kind of energy? You go to Doris Kearns Goodwin and say, "You don't know Abraham Lincoln." Obviously not. "You're not the president whisperer." How fatuous! Same here. I know more than you think I know. Stop being a moron.
Trust your first impression Paul.
Paul, the consummate diplomat.
What a man... such a role model for everyone.
In other words, she is a hardass who does not consider other people's feelings and well-meant intentions. Just adding a "thank you" or "I appreciate your effort" here and there would make a world of difference.
Paul is a nice guy. Caring and calm but has the quirk of being funny.
Thank you so much for the clarity !!
Paul is being extremely charitable here.
Lovely guy, we love him more than we realise I suspect..
She was rude to Paul. He may call it "strength" but I think she was rude.
And rightfully so
After watching them doing freakout jams when they had nothing else to do or couldn't practice as The Beatles in Get Back, I enjoy learning about their relationship. Yoko always seemed chill while they practiced and have fun with John and Paul when she could.
Yoko’s Voice was sooo BAD; but John was tooo in LOVE to Hear It!!!
She manipulated Lennon into giving her writing credit for Imagine. He thought he was being a feminist.
The Emperor has no voice.
That wasnt love! that was having your brain scrambled by Arty sycophants into thinking any old junk can be art.Heroin became John's tea introduced by Yoko, this is a trick often used by pimps to make prostitutes easy to mindcontrol,she was from an elite powerful banking family already had a child taken away and been in a mad house,her art friends in London even said all they needed was money and that was her main job.This was her way to the top!she tried getting money from Paul first to subsidise her career which didnt work!John was the last shot at the golden goose pretending she didnt know who the Beatles where?tell me another one!but sometimes it is like this when dominated mentally it's called Stockholm syndrome!
@@marksimons4108 wait a sec yoko was from a wealthy banking family??
@@stephenstrang590 yes she was!
