I was devastated, worst of all, shot on my mom's birthday on December 8th. My Mom adored the Beatles. She got their very first album for me, when it came out.
@@A.Briggs628 No, Italian forensic analysts examined McCartney's photos pre and post 1966, and found they were 2 different men. Even Paul's brother, Mike, when asked on Tv, "When did you last see your brother?" Answered, "At his funeral." Everyone but Mike laughed. George and Olivia Harrison are on video greeting Faul as William or Billy. Faul himself has given many admissions.
@@corinnejenart4512 he was not an angel had his faults and demons but like the other three Beatles he was a decent guy... If you examine the Beatles extensive catalog it's almost all very positive which McCartney was quite proud of... And they had the power to be very destructive had they wanted to be.. yeah they were that famous and influencial
John recorded in his last song; "Dear John", "don't be hard on yourself, give yourself a break, life wasn't meant to be run, the race is over, you've won !" Search for it and listen to it.
On Milk and Honey, his last album, the last track is about 22 minutes of his last interview, which took place on December 08th, 1980, the day he died. In it, in the last few minutes or so, he mentions death, and about dying, and hoping it wouldn't happen for a long time, not knowing in a few short hours he'd be gone. I cannot imagine Yoko's grief, as she was there to hear that, then to see him die. I cannot imagine the interviewers thoughts after hearing the devastating news...
You can't?? let me help you it was something like this " holy fucking shit, Lennons dead I just interviewd him" " ahhhhh my husband just got shot to death by a stranger" something along those lines. Dipstick.
Yoko didn’t give a bat sh!t about John, she only got to him because she stalked him religiously, manipulated him, used him and spent all his money. God I can’t stand her.
I remember hearing the news while on a plane, from London to Paris. It was one of those deaths where the world just stops. Lot's of tears that day. Rest in peace John...
If you listen to John's comments in interviews way back in their early career, as well as lyrics, hecwas always talking about death. He told a reporter he'd rather be shot in answer to his question. The notion he would die young in a plane crash ( like the one that killed Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, Richie Valens), or by some looney!! The lyrics to songs are also mentioning death. It may be a coincidence or premonition, Tomorrow Never Knows,Across the Universe disguise death as a sort of mystical trip. The Paul is dead clues could actually be about John. I am the "Walrus" means a corpse in Greek language. The Ballad of John/Yoko..." they're gonna crucify me". Happiness is a warm gun??? I nearly died was a lyric phrase from No Reply. This list likely has more references than I can recall, but you get the drift!
When John Lennon came to Greece with Yoko in 1969 they visited a psychic which told Lennon " Be careful my boy you will die on an island" then yoko and John cancelled their visits to greek islands cause they were afraid. On 1999 on a greek interview Yoko as she was talking about that incident she realised that Manhattan were Lennon was shot it's in fact an island !
It's like that novel "Appointment in Samarra"... when it's your time, you can't escape it. You can change your plans, try to hide or outrun fate but it will always find you.
Also, two of his movies predicted his death. In "A hard day's night" his manager jokingly says that he'll "murder Lennon" and in "Help" he's almost shot by the mad scientist
When I,'m hearing about this, it was 7.00o'clock, in the morning. And my mother had called to my bedroom:" John lennon wurde erschossen.". This time I have not forgotten. Liebe Grüße Ellen ❤ ✌
I was 10 when he died. I became a huge fan of the Beatles a few years ago and I do love John Lennon. When I watch footage of what happened at the time of his death, it does bring tears to my eyes.
I remember Dec 8, 1980 as if it were yesterday. I was watching sports on tv when they went to breaking news to report John was gone. I cried a lot. I was crushed. More like devastated.
Chapman said one of the reasons he ended John Lennons life was because of the Beatles are bigger than Jesus comment. So in a really bizarre twist of fate that comment came back to haunt him years down the line and even though he got gunned down and not crucified it had the exact same impact as the crucifixion because it turned John into a martyr and turned him into a Legend . I am not sure if the security guard who found Johns last autograph on the floor has sold it at auction. But that album with his signature on it is classed as the most valuable and sought after item in all of modern music. Essentially the holy grail
_Revolution #9_ clearly shows Lennon's prediction and fascination with guns and death. You can hear him moaning as the bullets are hitting him. The only time I'll listen to _Revolution #9_ is if I'm playing the entire white album. Thankfully, the album concludes with the soothing lullaby _Goodnight._ 🕯
Also on the documentary about Imagine, it showed a mentally ill guy approaching the studio where him and Yoko were and telling John how he believed The Beatles music was written specifically for him. John was just speaking patiently to try and talk some sense into him, as if being approached by people with mental illness was a regular thing. He even invited the guy into the house and gave him something to eat. It was like he accepted and made peace with whatever could come his way and just wanted to live his life, even if he felt like it would be short.
George Harrison died in 2001 at age 58. He smoked more often than the other three Beatles. The frequency George Harrison smoked during his adulthood was enough to where it would lead to dying from lung cancer.
After he made the comment about the Beatles being bigger than Jesus people were literally gunning for him... I think that paranoia never left him... Only because he spoke freely in an interview and It touched a nerve with a lot of people
i believe that words have some weird power. if you keep telling such things throughout the years, it may come true. His death was definitively a huge loss for the world of music
John Lennon was a special kind of person indeed, not "supernatural" or any angel at all, but simply special. His talent was undeniable & his voice almost ethereal & truly beautiful. He was also a very physically attractive man. I loved & love him for his gifted musical talent & strong presence, which is still alive here today. RIP JL ❣️
Well, not to mention that in 1969, Lennon repeatedly whispers, "Shoot Me" throughout "Come Together." Listen with headphones to hear it. In 1971, Lennon says in an interview that John and Yoko are willing to be the world's clowns for peace, because all the serious people got shot. And even as late as Dec. 6, 1980, Lennon says in an interview that "I'm a pacifist. But what is it to be such a pacificist that you get shot? I can't understand that. I can't work it out." And finally, on his posthumous album, "Milk and Honey," there's my favorite song from that period of time, called "Borrowed Time." He sings, "Living on Borrowed Time without a thought for tomorrow. But the most haunted one of all is that the night Lennon fell to the ground, he was carrying under his arm, the tapes that he and Yoko had just completed for her new single, "It Happened." Yoko sings, "It happened at a time of my life when I least expected." Lennon had just hours earlier, laid down the lead guitar for that song.
All we use to say things like that about ourselves but not thinking about it as a serious statement, He also said that he wanted to live many more years with his wife, the same day he died he said in an interview for a radio station that he saw his work with the Beatles and after Beatles like a solo artist or with his wife as one piece and it was going to be like that untill he die and be buried and he hopes that would happen after a long long time. But it was his last day ( hours when he said that)
It’s sad to die a death that wasn’t natural. So many times people die due to things like illness that can’t be helped. For a nut to end his life was very sad.
From his unique position within the band, and his keen insight, “finger on the pulse”, of some of the wackos who are attracted to famous people, he did the math…
Jesus didn't want to be a lord over anyone else. That's worldly power/hierarchy thinking that he didn't have. He didn't want to dominate or control anyone as lords do. He taught and exemplified principles of love, humility, and service. His leadership was characterized by self-sacrifice and servanthood. Jesus never demanded for anyone to worship him. Second, Lennon was right. The Beatles were more popular than Jesus at the time among young people. It's just a correct observation.
“Christ… the way things are going, they gonna crucify me” “Shoot me…. Shoot me…. Shoot me… shoot me.” “Happiness is a warm gun, mama. Happiness is a warm gun…”
@@nighTmareCSGO well for starters the song begins with Lennon saying “shoot me” and then the chorus is “come together right now over me” which is like saying If I died it will be a big deal and the rest of the song the verse parts are in my opinion about some crazy sick person (his killer)
I always get an eerie feeling whenever I see the photos of the Beatles in Central Park in 1964, with a young John Lennon and in the distant background behind him is the Dakota Building, which would be the scene of his death many years later.
Brilliant...he was God like...talented and had extra sensory perception ..Lennon had a "FEEL"..to everything...and so it happened...so much power RIP my man 🎸🎤❣️
this is possibly die to the memories of filming his death scene in 1967's "How I Won the War " where he is shot and killed in action . Also its a common nightmare...and NYC in the 1970s was particularly dangerous and full of old guns.
I always felt he had a spiritual gift - or something. That he was able to tap into something. I don't think this gift was always pleasant to him. Just surmizing.
JOHN LENNON WAS SHOT in THE BACK BY A CRAZY MAN WHO'S NAME is MARK CHAPMAN WHO WANTED FAME SO UNFORTUNATELY HE CHOSE JOHN LENNON AND HE DIED ON DECEMBER THE 8th 1980 AND HE WROTE GREAT SONG'S SUCH AS WOMAN AND JEALOUS GUY AND IMAGINE AND COME TOGETHER AND THE LATE GREAT JOHN LENNON SINGS THIS SONG ON THE ABBY ROAD CD AND I'VE GOT THIS CD AND IT'S A GREAT ONE R.I.P.YOU ARE GONE FOREVER BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN 😔
