"Some years later, that nice young man from England was on his way home to see his little boy, and was signing some autographs, and for no particular reason at all, someone shot him.” No, he wasn't. John Lennon faked his death - as all "celebrities" do! The Beatles ended because they were an Intelligence project after 1966. They wrote none of the songs which is why they had no rights to them!

@@nossasenhoradoo871 I'm going to assume you're being serious and not trolling. Celebrities are just people like you and I, and people die all the time. It's highly improbable that John faked his death for the following reason - the more people that need to be involved in a cover-up, the less likely it is that a cover-up happened. John Lennon would have needed many people to be involved with covering up a faked death , which leads me to believe he actually died.

Yoko is actually exactly right. . . .

As for them breaking up - anyone who's ever been in a band will tell you that it's a MIRACLE that any band stays together for THREE years, let alone 8. The bands that stay together for 50 years, etc. - they're extreme anomalies.

Having watched the new Beatles doc it is quite clear that Yoko had nothing to do with breaking up the Beatles.

They still managed to get one more classic album done (Abbey Road) before they called it quits but it was inevitable.

@ContemplativeCat 2 года назад

Yoko made a good point it being amazing that a band of such talented artists stayed together for as long as they did. I've seen it among bands. In most cases a band will have one major songwriting talent who is the driving creative force behind the group. Where there's more than one it's not often that it actually lasts very long. There's ego's at play,, personalities, and diverging interests pulling in different directions that result in differences that most bands don't survive. The ones that do last are very much in the minority. Now consider the Beatles with at least three formidable songwriting talents in the group. George for example: His growth into a songwriter who could rival the Lennon/McCartney duo on his own and consequent growing dissatisfaction with the Beatles is well known. He once said the best career move he made was joining the Beatles, and the next best one was leaving the Beatles. All things must pass.

Only the four of them knew what it was like to be a Beatle. Paul always wanted to be a Beatle and has kept being one all these years. George was frustrated by having L&M overriding his songwriting contributions (helped along by George Martin’s devotion to the duo). Ironically, the product of that frustration was All Things Must Pass, the best solo product of any of them. John was a troubled and restless soul - look at his upbringing - and felt constrained by all things Beatle. Ringo just moved on and continued with his zest for life. Yoko was right, it was remarkable they even came together so maybe we should just be happy that they did. I know I am.

When the Beatles first got together one man at a time, it wasn’t like the four hottest artists in the world starting a band together, it was four dudes from Liverpool. They didn’t start out geniuses, they were in a band together, they worked well together, and became geniuses along the way through that and by working off of one another.

Trust me, I know the wrong end of a toxic relationship where my partner couldn't deal with the boundaries I needed.

I wasn't around in that day sadly, but I can imagine it must have hit like a truck to the fans - not even 8 full months had passed between their rooftop concert (their first public appearance since 1966) and John leaving the group (just 6 days before Abbey Road was released), and then Paul stating in May 1970 that there were no Beatles plans in the works.

The fact that they were together for eight years is a small miracle as Yoko just said. they’re all brilliant and you have this intense fun mirror effect of being famous, and people are egomaniacs when they’re not famous so you can imagine how incredibly tough that is to stay sort of yoked together and have your will or even your whims strongly influenced and sometimes controlled by others. When you see similarly, talented groups, stay together for even longer times, they normally break up and then find out they can’t really succeed without their partners, and they are more or less forced back into the partnership But all of the Beatles were rather successful as solo artists Also, there was no real pressure for them to do that.

“I think it’s very difficult for four artists that are so brilliant and talented to be together and do everything together, you know what I mean ? It’s almost impossible, so, whatever they were doing was almost miraculous, you know,? That they were together.“ As said in 1971, by Yoko Ono-Lennon, of all people. No one ever put it better. Of all people , Yoko is the one who has expressed more clearly why the Beatles were an anomaly that could not last. By the way, I met her , ok did not met her, but I was hiking a popular trail nearby a tourist city in the Southwest and there she was with her entourage, about 5 years ago in 2014-15.
