1
00:00:12,971 --> 00:00:15,474
<i>I always was a rebel.
But, on the other hand, I want...</i>

2
00:00:15,516 --> 00:00:17,935
<i>to be loved and accepted
by all facets of society...</i>

3
00:00:18,018 --> 00:00:22,648
<i>and not be this loudmouth,
lunatic poet-musician.</i>

4
00:00:23,774 --> 00:00:24,942
<i>But I cannot be what I'm not.</i>

5
00:01:57,492 --> 00:01:59,661
- Good morning.
- Good morning.

6
00:02:01,121 --> 00:02:04,458
<i>People say, "Why are you recording
your life like a diary?"</i>

7
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:08,420
<i>The thing is that, as a Beatle,
every song and every album...</i>

8
00:02:08,462 --> 00:02:13,300
<i>and every record and every film
was a diary of who we were at the time.</i>

9
00:02:13,383 --> 00:02:16,345
<i>But we were in the dark
about it till later.</i>

10
00:02:16,428 --> 00:02:17,930
<i>So when I got with Yoko...</i>

11
00:02:18,013 --> 00:02:22,476
<i>we were able to turn a light on
in the middle of the creation of it.</i>

12
00:02:22,893 --> 00:02:26,188
The back is going to be eyes
with two sunsets in it.

13
00:02:26,271 --> 00:02:27,981
Freaky, isn't it?

14
00:02:28,065 --> 00:02:30,108
<i>What's the tune of lmagine?</i>

15
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,152
It just goes, "Imagine there's no heaven...

16
00:02:32,986 --> 00:02:36,615
"it's easy if you try. No hell below us.

17
00:02:37,574 --> 00:02:40,160
"Only sky. Imagine all the people.

18
00:02:40,244 --> 00:02:43,288
"Living for today." Whatever.

19
00:02:43,372 --> 00:02:45,457
You'll hear the record.

20
00:02:45,833 --> 00:02:50,504
<i>When I think of Ascot,
I think of making Imagine...</i>

21
00:02:50,879 --> 00:02:54,591
<i>and also just being together,
strolling around in the gardens.</i>

22
00:02:54,675 --> 00:02:58,303
<i>And it was a very intense
and beautiful time for us.</i>

23
00:03:05,352 --> 00:03:08,146
<i>- I should do How? First.
- All right. Set up How?</i>

24
00:03:08,981 --> 00:03:12,442
<i>We built a studio
connected to the house...</i>

25
00:03:12,693 --> 00:03:15,320
<i>and we recorded some songs there, too.</i>

26
00:04:39,905 --> 00:04:41,073
I was raised by my auntie.

27
00:04:41,156 --> 00:04:43,617
My father and my mother
split when I was about 4.

28
00:04:43,700 --> 00:04:46,745
I had spent some time
with my mother up till about 4.

29
00:04:46,828 --> 00:04:48,747
<i>Then my father split.
He was a merchant seaman.</i>

30
00:04:48,789 --> 00:04:52,417
<i>You can imagine,
it was the 1940s, in the war and all that.</i>

31
00:04:52,459 --> 00:04:56,088
<i>And he left,
and I was brought up by an auntie.</i>

32
00:04:56,421 --> 00:05:00,175
<i>I had to be solid
because I had a boy to bring up.</i>

33
00:05:00,509 --> 00:05:05,055
<i>It was my job to be there.
He never came into an empty house.</i>

34
00:05:05,556 --> 00:05:09,268
What he could not make out
was how I knew...

35
00:05:09,351 --> 00:05:10,519
when he was up to something.

36
00:05:12,312 --> 00:05:15,482
<i>He was inventive
and was always the leader.</i>

37
00:05:15,566 --> 00:05:18,277
<i>Every time he sat down,
he never wasted a minute.</i>

38
00:05:18,318 --> 00:05:21,947
<i>And it was always either drawing
or writing poetry...</i>

39
00:05:22,030 --> 00:05:24,449
<i>or reading. He was a great reader.</i>

40
00:05:24,700 --> 00:05:27,536
<i>And he sang himself to sleep every night.</i>

41
00:05:27,828 --> 00:05:29,329
And then when I was 16...

42
00:05:29,371 --> 00:05:32,332
I re-established a relationship
with my mother for about four years.

43
00:05:32,416 --> 00:05:35,460
She taught me music.
She first of all taught me the banjo...

44
00:05:35,502 --> 00:05:37,129
and, from that, I progressed to guitar.

45
00:05:37,212 --> 00:05:40,507
<i>And then, unfortunately, she was run over
by an off-duty policeman...</i>

46
00:05:40,591 --> 00:05:42,342
<i>who was drunk at the time.</i>

47
00:05:46,346 --> 00:05:50,851
<i>I lost her twice. Once as a 5-year-old
when I was moved in with my auntie...</i>

48
00:05:50,934 --> 00:05:53,979
<i>and once again when I was
re-establishing a relationship with her.</i>

49
00:05:54,062 --> 00:05:56,190
<i>That was really a hard time for me...</i>

50
00:05:56,273 --> 00:05:59,443
<i>and it just absolutely made me
very, very bitter.</i>

51
00:05:59,526 --> 00:06:03,822
<i>The underlying chip on my shoulder
I had as a youth was really big then.</i>

52
00:06:03,864 --> 00:06:05,991
<i>It was very traumatic for me.</i>

53
00:07:57,519 --> 00:08:01,273
<i>I had no idea about doing music
as a way of life...</i>

54
00:08:01,315 --> 00:08:02,941
<i>until the rock 'n'roll hit me.</i>

55
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:05,986
<i>Then when rock 'n'roll hit me
that changed my whole life.</i>

56
00:08:06,236 --> 00:08:07,738
You know,
you went to see those movies...

57
00:08:07,821 --> 00:08:10,824
with Elvis or somebody in it,
when we were still in Liverpool.

58
00:08:10,908 --> 00:08:14,369
And you'd see everybody waiting
to see him. And I'd be waiting there, too.

59
00:08:14,453 --> 00:08:17,122
And they'd all scream
when he came on the screen.

60
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:19,333
So I thought, "That's a good job."

61
00:08:21,418 --> 00:08:23,462
He was rough, ready...

62
00:08:23,504 --> 00:08:27,049
and not my type at all. To start off with.

63
00:08:28,467 --> 00:08:31,386
But again, this enigmatic character...

64
00:08:31,887 --> 00:08:33,472
you couldn't resist.

65
00:08:34,848 --> 00:08:38,852
He was like a Teddy boy.
He walked around without his glasses...

66
00:08:39,102 --> 00:08:41,313
a guitar over his shoulder...

67
00:08:41,522 --> 00:08:44,316
and a look that said, "Kill."

68
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:52,616
<i>Paul met me the first day I did
Be Bop a Lula live onstage.</i>

69
00:08:52,699 --> 00:08:57,120
<i>A mutual friend brought him to see
my group, called The Quarry Men.</i>

70
00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:59,957
<i>And we met and we talked after the show.</i>

71
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,001
<i>And I saw he had talent.
He was playing guitar backstage...</i>

72
00:09:03,085 --> 00:09:05,212
<i>doing Twenty-Flight Rock,
by Eddie Cochran.</i>

73
00:09:05,295 --> 00:09:07,798
<i>And I turned around to him right
then on first meeting and said:</i>

74
00:09:07,881 --> 00:09:11,844
<i>"Do you want to join the group?"
And I think he said "yes" the next day.</i>

75
00:09:12,177 --> 00:09:14,096
<i>Now George came through Paul...</i>

76
00:09:14,304 --> 00:09:17,975
<i>but the person I actually picked
as my partner was Paul.</i>

77
00:09:24,189 --> 00:09:27,067
<i>Hamburg? That city of sin?</i>

78
00:09:27,109 --> 00:09:29,570
<i>No, certainly not. You can't go there.</i>

79
00:09:29,653 --> 00:09:34,533
<i>He said, "Oh, come on, Mimi.
We'll get 100 pounds a week. "</i>

80
00:09:34,575 --> 00:09:37,160
<i>So in the end, he went.</i>

81
00:09:39,454 --> 00:09:42,666
<i>I can remember the time
when one drunken Kraut...</i>

82
00:09:42,749 --> 00:09:45,294
tried to get onstage
and John Lennon was eating onstage...

83
00:09:46,628 --> 00:09:48,672
and he threw his knife at him.

84
00:09:48,755 --> 00:09:51,592
And then, not deterring the fellow...

85
00:09:51,675 --> 00:09:54,887
he promptly kicked him in the face
to boot him off the stage.

86
00:09:54,928 --> 00:09:57,931
<i>And so you had this town
full of gangsters...</i>

87
00:09:58,015 --> 00:09:59,808
<i>who used to love the Beatles...</i>

88
00:09:59,892 --> 00:10:02,686
<i>and used to send them
crates of ale onstage.</i>

89
00:10:02,769 --> 00:10:06,315
<i>And they'd be legless.
Absolutely legless onstage.</i>

90
00:10:13,405 --> 00:10:17,284
<i>Everywhere they played,
they would finish up in a fight.</i>

91
00:10:17,326 --> 00:10:20,537
<i>In actual fact,
one place that I sent them to play...</i>

92
00:10:20,621 --> 00:10:23,499
<i>they used to have to hide
behind the piano...</i>

93
00:10:23,582 --> 00:10:27,044
<i>because the popular thing was
to throw the chairs at the group.</i>

94
00:10:31,089 --> 00:10:34,009
Then we went back to Liverpool,
and there were quite a few bookings.

95
00:10:34,092 --> 00:10:36,094
You know, they all thought
we were German.

96
00:10:36,220 --> 00:10:39,640
Anyway, Bill was from Hamburg, and
they all said, "You speak good English."

97
00:10:44,144 --> 00:10:47,523
<i>I was told that he was playing
in a place called The Cavern.</i>

98
00:10:47,606 --> 00:10:49,149
<i>It was an old wine cellar...</i>

99
00:10:49,233 --> 00:10:52,653
<i>that had been turned
into a sort of lunch club.</i>

100
00:11:03,121 --> 00:11:05,499
<i>It was Brian that went there.</i>

101
00:11:05,541 --> 00:11:08,210
<i>And he was only at the back of the hall...</i>

102
00:11:08,293 --> 00:11:12,339
<i>listening to those four boys,
but whatever he saw...</i>

103
00:11:12,506 --> 00:11:14,508
<i>he saw that little spark.</i>

104
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,761
<i>And he went right around
and offered himself as their manager.</i>

105
00:11:17,845 --> 00:11:21,056
I was immediately struck
by their music, their beat...

106
00:11:22,266 --> 00:11:25,060
and their sense of humor,
actually, onstage.

107
00:11:25,143 --> 00:11:26,979
And even afterwards, when I met them...

108
00:11:27,020 --> 00:11:29,439
I was struck again
by their personal charm.

109
00:11:30,023 --> 00:11:33,735
And it was there that,
really, it all started.

110
00:11:33,819 --> 00:11:35,612
It took about eight months to...

111
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:38,615
get to the stage
where we had a recording contract...

112
00:11:38,699 --> 00:11:42,703
and we were having
the first record issued.

113
00:11:42,786 --> 00:11:44,121
<i>That was Love Me Do.</i>

114
00:12:06,435 --> 00:12:08,520
I think it was a very fortunate
coming together...

115
00:12:09,730 --> 00:12:11,356
that we seemed to hit it off very well.

116
00:12:11,398 --> 00:12:15,527
When we were in the studio,
we did really collaborate as a team.

117
00:12:15,611 --> 00:12:18,697
There weren't any egos
protruding through.

118
00:12:20,199 --> 00:12:22,868
But I was very, very lucky
to have met up with them.

119
00:12:24,411 --> 00:12:26,705
<i>George had done no rock 'n'roll
when we met him...</i>

120
00:12:26,788 --> 00:12:30,125
<i>and we'd never been in the studio,
so we did a lot of learning together.</i>

121
00:12:30,292 --> 00:12:35,214
<i>He had a very great
musical knowledge and background.</i>

122
00:12:36,089 --> 00:12:39,551
<i>So he could translate for us
and suggest a lot of things. Which he did.</i>

123
00:12:39,593 --> 00:12:42,095
<i>And he'd come up with
amazing technical things.</i>

124
00:12:43,597 --> 00:12:48,310
<i>When the Beatles were depressed,
thinking the group was going nowhere...</i>

125
00:12:48,393 --> 00:12:51,104
<i>and this is a shitty deal,
and we're in a shitty dressing room...</i>

126
00:12:51,188 --> 00:12:52,773
<i>I'd say, "Where are we going, fellas?"</i>

127
00:12:52,856 --> 00:12:55,067
<i>And they'd go, "To the top, Johnny!"</i>

128
00:12:55,150 --> 00:12:56,610
<i>And I'd say, "Where's that, fellas?"</i>

129
00:12:56,693 --> 00:12:58,987
<i>And they'd say,
"To the toppermost of the poppermost!"</i>

130
00:12:59,071 --> 00:13:02,533
<i>And I'd say, "Right!"
Then we'd all sort of cheer up.</i>

131
00:13:04,952 --> 00:13:06,328
<i>When I was a Beatle...</i>

132
00:13:06,411 --> 00:13:09,581
<i>I thought, "We're the best fucking group
in the goddamn world. "</i>

133
00:13:09,665 --> 00:13:11,959
<i>And believing that
is what made us what we were.</i>

134
00:13:12,042 --> 00:13:14,753
<i>It was just a matter of time
before everybody else caught on.</i>

135
00:13:20,509 --> 00:13:21,510
Thank you.

136
00:13:22,678 --> 00:13:25,973
For our last number,
I'd like to ask your help.

137
00:13:26,765 --> 00:13:29,643
For the people in the cheaper seats,
clap your hands.

138
00:13:31,186 --> 00:13:33,522
And the rest of you,
if you'd just rattle your jewelry.

139
00:13:39,695 --> 00:13:42,239
<i>We'd like to sing a song called,
Twist and Shout.</i>

140
00:15:37,271 --> 00:15:39,982
<i>Maybe we should just go on
and do lmagine, then.</i>

141
00:15:40,065 --> 00:15:41,692
What's this one, a ballad?

142
00:15:41,775 --> 00:15:43,902
Yeah, go on. I'll teach you it.

143
00:15:44,945 --> 00:15:47,114
<i>Imagine was one facet of him.</i>

144
00:15:47,197 --> 00:15:49,783
<i>It crystallized his dream for the world.</i>

145
00:15:49,867 --> 00:15:52,286
<i>It crystallized his idealism.</i>

146
00:15:52,369 --> 00:15:56,582
<i>And it was something
that he wanted to really say to the world.</i>

147
00:17:12,616 --> 00:17:14,076
That's a nice one.

148
00:17:14,159 --> 00:17:15,494
Yeah.

149
00:17:15,577 --> 00:17:18,205
- That's the one I like best...
- What if there's another piano?

150
00:17:18,288 --> 00:17:22,501
Because if we get the same kind of piano,
and do an octave higher or something...

151
00:17:22,584 --> 00:17:24,711
- it would be beautiful.
- We can always use this...

152
00:17:24,795 --> 00:17:27,464
Instead of the electric guitar.
It's a delicate song.

153
00:17:27,548 --> 00:17:30,300
He could do it on the top half
of the piano, maybe.

154
00:17:30,509 --> 00:17:32,678
We could get a mike
through to the front...

155
00:17:32,761 --> 00:17:33,846
That's it.

156
00:17:33,887 --> 00:17:35,264
- The white piano?
- Yeah.

157
00:17:35,347 --> 00:17:38,517
I'll go on the white one 'cause
that's what I wanted to do, use that one.

158
00:17:38,559 --> 00:17:39,560
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

159
00:17:40,185 --> 00:17:42,354
Because we want to do the house.

160
00:17:42,396 --> 00:17:45,065
<i>When Dad moved to Tittenhurst...</i>

161
00:17:45,148 --> 00:17:49,069
<i>it was the first time that he actually
called me in quite a long time.</i>

162
00:17:49,987 --> 00:17:52,406
It was an exciting thing for me to go
and see him again...

163
00:17:52,489 --> 00:17:54,116
after not seeing him for such a while.

164
00:17:55,242 --> 00:17:59,454
And at the time, I was living in...

165
00:18:00,289 --> 00:18:04,543
I won't say a small house, but it
was a completely different situation.

166
00:18:04,626 --> 00:18:07,713
It was on a street
with lots of houses, lots of friends.

167
00:18:07,921 --> 00:18:10,549
And Tittenhurst was this enormous...

168
00:18:10,966 --> 00:18:14,720
palace-like place with 99 acres...

169
00:18:15,554 --> 00:18:20,225
golf-cart buggies, a lake, a little island
in the middle of the lake...

170
00:18:23,270 --> 00:18:25,397
It was like a house of fun.

171
00:18:25,647 --> 00:18:28,609
It was a completely different experience.

172
00:18:28,775 --> 00:18:30,903
It was wonderful. I loved the place.

173
00:18:31,904 --> 00:18:34,323
<i>I don't remember seeing him as a child.</i>

174
00:18:34,406 --> 00:18:37,618
<i>It was the height of the Beatle thing
so I was working all the time.</i>

175
00:18:37,701 --> 00:18:40,579
<i>I never considered what it was
doing to him. I didn't even count it.</i>

176
00:18:40,621 --> 00:18:42,915
<i>The mother was at home. I was away.</i>

177
00:18:42,998 --> 00:18:47,836
<i>Like most guys at 24 or 25, they're too
intent on their career really, you know.</i>

178
00:18:48,295 --> 00:18:52,424
<i>John, as a father, was forced,
I'm afraid, to be a part-time dad.</i>

179
00:18:52,591 --> 00:18:54,259
He wrote to me saying that...

180
00:18:54,301 --> 00:18:58,597
"I'm so sad and I'm so sorry
that I've missed the fact...

181
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,724
"that Julian has been growing up...

182
00:19:00,807 --> 00:19:03,852
"that he is now a little man
and I miss him dreadfully.

183
00:19:03,936 --> 00:19:05,312
"And I've been a right bastard...

184
00:19:05,395 --> 00:19:07,773
"because I've taken no notice of him...

185
00:19:07,814 --> 00:19:10,234
"and I've read the papers
and pushed him out of the room...

186
00:19:10,317 --> 00:19:12,069
"because he's been making noises."

187
00:19:12,152 --> 00:19:15,447
That was the point when he suddenly
realized that he was a father...

188
00:19:15,531 --> 00:19:19,117
Julian was a special little person...

189
00:19:19,159 --> 00:19:23,622
not just a figment of his imagination
when he came home in the early days.

190
00:19:24,164 --> 00:19:26,667
You're going over to the States
early in the new year...

191
00:19:26,750 --> 00:19:30,170
and you're going to top the bill
on the Ed Sullivan coast-to-coast show.

192
00:19:30,254 --> 00:19:32,589
John, so far, all
British pop stars have not

193
00:19:32,641 --> 00:19:34,675
made a tremendous
impact on the States.

194
00:19:34,716 --> 00:19:36,218
How do you think you're gonna fare?

195
00:19:36,301 --> 00:19:40,681
Well, I can't really say, can I?
I mean, is it up to me? No.

196
00:19:40,764 --> 00:19:42,683
I mean, I just hope we go all right.

197
00:19:42,724 --> 00:19:45,394
Are you going to vary your act at all
for the American audience?

198
00:19:45,477 --> 00:19:48,730
No. We haven't really got an act,
so we'll just do what we do.

199
00:19:55,863 --> 00:20:00,701
<i>The journey to America was exciting
but I had to keep a low profile...</i>

200
00:20:00,784 --> 00:20:02,828
<i>because it wouldn't
do for the frenzied fans...</i>

201
00:20:02,870 --> 00:20:06,665
<i>to know that John had a wife
and a baby at home.</i>

202
00:20:22,681 --> 00:20:24,057
What do you think of the comment...

203
00:20:24,141 --> 00:20:26,518
that you're nothing but a bunch
of British Elvis Presleys?

204
00:20:26,602 --> 00:20:28,312
It's not true!

205
00:20:31,398 --> 00:20:33,400
Are you going to get a haircut
while you're here?

206
00:20:33,442 --> 00:20:35,903
- No, thanks.
- I had one yesterday.

207
00:20:38,071 --> 00:20:40,532
- That's no lie. It's true.
- It's true.

208
00:20:41,074 --> 00:20:42,367
You know, I think he missed some.

209
00:20:42,451 --> 00:20:45,913
- No, he didn't.
- You should have seen him the day before.

210
00:20:48,207 --> 00:20:50,375
What do you think
your music does to these people?

211
00:20:52,753 --> 00:20:55,506
It pleases them, I think.
It must do, 'cause they're buying it.

212
00:20:55,589 --> 00:20:58,217
- Why does it excite them so much?
- We don't know, really.

213
00:20:58,300 --> 00:21:00,844
If we knew, we'd form another group
and be managers.

214
00:21:09,436 --> 00:21:12,564
We came here at 6:00
in the morning, 5:30, to see them.

215
00:21:12,606 --> 00:21:15,192
And all they did was push us
farther and farther away.

216
00:21:15,275 --> 00:21:17,069
Then they don't even let you see them.

217
00:21:17,152 --> 00:21:20,864
I got every Beatle record at home
and we didn't get to see them.

218
00:21:20,948 --> 00:21:25,619
What kind of police protection?
I'd really like to get a piece of them...

219
00:22:37,024 --> 00:22:38,775
<i>It was like being in
the eye of a hurricane.</i>

220
00:22:38,859 --> 00:22:41,445
<i>You thought, "What's going on?"
And, "How did I get here?"</i>

221
00:22:41,528 --> 00:22:45,365
<i>The last thing I remember was playing
music in a club, and the next minute, this.</i>

222
00:22:50,078 --> 00:22:53,749
Did you ever have a chance, John,
to just get away, on your own...

223
00:22:53,832 --> 00:22:55,292
without anybody recognizing you?

224
00:22:55,375 --> 00:22:57,836
We borrowed a couple
of millionaires' houses.

225
00:22:59,171 --> 00:23:00,130
Sure we did.

226
00:23:00,214 --> 00:23:03,300
You could afford to buy a couple
of millionaires' houses, couldn't you?

227
00:23:03,842 --> 00:23:05,511
We'd sooner borrow them. It's cheaper.

228
00:23:05,594 --> 00:23:09,056
We did a bit of water skiing.
Well, sort of, anyway.

229
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,141
Did your wife enjoy it over there?

230
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:13,977
She loved it. Who? Who?

231
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,563
Don't tell them he's married.
It's a secret.

232
00:23:16,647 --> 00:23:18,357
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

233
00:23:20,567 --> 00:23:22,861
<i>There was no sort of particular security...</i>

234
00:23:22,945 --> 00:23:26,907
<i>and one of our assistants told us
that there was this strange guy...</i>

235
00:23:26,990 --> 00:23:31,245
<i>that was just staying in our gardens
almost every night.</i>

236
00:23:32,079 --> 00:23:36,375
<i>John always felt responsible
for these people...</i>

237
00:23:36,750 --> 00:23:39,545
<i>because they were the result of his songs.</i>

238
00:23:39,586 --> 00:23:41,213
<i>That's how he felt.</i>

239
00:23:41,255 --> 00:23:43,841
Don't confuse the songs
with your own life.

240
00:23:45,050 --> 00:23:49,012
I mean, they might have relevance
to your own life, but a lot of things do.

241
00:23:49,638 --> 00:23:53,016
So we met, you know. I'm just a guy.
I write songs.

242
00:23:54,226 --> 00:23:59,022
I figured that if we met.
I'd know, just by meeting you.

243
00:24:00,315 --> 00:24:02,067
Know what?

244
00:24:02,109 --> 00:24:03,569
That it all fits.

245
00:24:03,610 --> 00:24:06,697
Anything fits,
if you're tripping off on some trip.

246
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:08,574
Anything fits, you know.

247
00:24:08,782 --> 00:24:10,284
Like when you said:

248
00:24:10,325 --> 00:24:13,912
"Boy, you're going to carry that weight
for a long time." That was just...

249
00:24:13,954 --> 00:24:15,664
- That's Paul who sang that.
- Paul sang that?

250
00:24:15,747 --> 00:24:18,584
But that belongs to all of us.
He's singing about all of us.

251
00:24:18,667 --> 00:24:19,835
Remember that one:

252
00:24:19,918 --> 00:24:23,046
"You can radiate everything you are.
You can penetrate anywhere you go?"

253
00:24:23,130 --> 00:24:27,801
Yeah, I was just having fun with words.
It was literally a nonsense song.

254
00:24:29,261 --> 00:24:31,763
I mean, Dylan does that.
Anybody does that, you know.

255
00:24:33,056 --> 00:24:36,602
You just take words,
and you stick them together...

256
00:24:36,685 --> 00:24:39,980
and see if they have any meaning.
Some of them do, some of them don't.

257
00:24:40,063 --> 00:24:43,358
See, that last album of mine
was me coming out of my dream.

258
00:24:43,442 --> 00:24:46,486
You can last your whole life
on that dream, you know...

259
00:24:46,570 --> 00:24:47,946
and then it's all over.

260
00:24:47,988 --> 00:24:51,200
You weren't thinking of anyone in
particular when you were singing all that?

261
00:24:51,283 --> 00:24:53,660
How could I be?
How could I be thinking of you?

262
00:24:54,161 --> 00:24:57,456
I don't know, maybe, I don't care, me.
But it's just all... It's all somebody.

263
00:24:57,498 --> 00:25:01,335
I'm thinking about me
or, at best, Yoko, if it's a love song.

264
00:25:01,418 --> 00:25:05,422
I'm saying, "I had a good shit today
and this is what I thought this morning...

265
00:25:07,341 --> 00:25:09,301
"and I love you Yoko," or whatever.

266
00:25:09,343 --> 00:25:10,844
I'm singing about me and my life...

267
00:25:10,928 --> 00:25:14,890
and if it's relevant
for other people's lives, that's all right.

268
00:25:15,307 --> 00:25:16,683
You hungry?

269
00:25:18,185 --> 00:25:19,269
Yeah.

270
00:25:19,353 --> 00:25:21,230
Let's get him something to drink.

271
00:27:43,539 --> 00:27:44,790
Finally, I've got it.

272
00:27:49,169 --> 00:27:51,964
It's great working with you, Phil.
Really great.

273
00:27:52,881 --> 00:27:55,008
I've worked with
a lot of cats in my time...

274
00:27:55,092 --> 00:27:58,387
and I want to say, really great.
Sincerely, really great.

275
00:28:02,683 --> 00:28:05,811
<i>Don't you think the Beatles gave
every sodden thing they've got...</i>

276
00:28:05,894 --> 00:28:07,354
<i>to be the Beatles?</i>

277
00:28:07,437 --> 00:28:10,440
<i>That took a whole section of our youth,
that whole period.</i>

278
00:28:10,524 --> 00:28:12,192
<i>When everybody else
was just goofing off...</i>

279
00:28:13,485 --> 00:28:15,571
<i>we were working 24 hours a day.</i>

280
00:28:23,162 --> 00:28:26,665
<i>The whole Beatle thing was just
beyond comprehension.</i>

281
00:28:26,748 --> 00:28:29,251
<i>And I was eating and drinking like a pig...</i>

282
00:28:29,334 --> 00:28:32,212
<i>and subconsciously was crying for help.</i>

283
00:29:27,726 --> 00:29:31,396
<i>Shea Stadium was a happening.
You couldn't hear any music at all.</i>

284
00:29:31,438 --> 00:29:35,400
<i>But then it just became
like lip-syncing, miming.</i>

285
00:29:35,776 --> 00:29:39,154
<i>Sometimes things would break down
and nobody'd know.</i>

286
00:29:44,076 --> 00:29:47,538
Last month, 75 teenagers
from Pennsylvania...

287
00:29:47,621 --> 00:29:50,874
petitioned Her Majesty, the Queen,
to have the Beatles knighted.

288
00:29:50,958 --> 00:29:52,084
Well, this hasn't happened.

289
00:29:52,125 --> 00:29:55,128
But today, I'm pleased to say
that they have been made members...

290
00:29:55,212 --> 00:29:57,840
of the most honorable
Order of the British Empire.

291
00:29:57,923 --> 00:30:01,260
Congratulations, John, George,
Ringo, and Paul.

292
00:30:01,301 --> 00:30:03,136
How did you all react to this?

293
00:30:03,303 --> 00:30:04,596
Well, I went...

294
00:30:05,681 --> 00:30:07,558
Which means in sound?

295
00:30:07,641 --> 00:30:08,767
Whoopee.

296
00:30:10,727 --> 00:30:13,689
You all live in, well, good
domestic splendor.

297
00:30:13,814 --> 00:30:16,441
Has this affected your writing,
Paul and John?

298
00:30:16,483 --> 00:30:19,278
No, it's easier to write with cushions,
I'm sure...

299
00:30:20,070 --> 00:30:22,573
than on pieces of hard bench.

300
00:30:22,656 --> 00:30:25,993
But you know we were on hard benches
before we met...

301
00:30:26,076 --> 00:30:30,664
a known terror of Liverpool.
It's much easier on a nice cushion.

302
00:30:30,747 --> 00:30:33,792
<i>From obscurity in a cellar
in Liverpool four years ago...</i>

303
00:30:33,876 --> 00:30:35,544
<i>and now to Buckingham Palace.</i>

304
00:30:35,627 --> 00:30:36,795
We're all delighted.

305
00:30:36,879 --> 00:30:39,923
- Thank you very much.
- Congratulations.

306
00:30:43,093 --> 00:30:47,681
<i>The Beatles arrived in Japan today,
as their tour of the Far East continues.</i>

307
00:30:47,764 --> 00:30:51,977
<i>Across the Pacific, in the United States,
a furor is developing over comments...</i>

308
00:30:52,060 --> 00:30:55,272
<i>John Lennon made: "Christianity will go.</i>

309
00:30:55,564 --> 00:31:00,152
<i>"It will vanish and shrink.
We are more popular than Jesus. "</i>

310
00:31:01,528 --> 00:31:04,823
<i>Here in Tokyo, violence broke out
when right-wing fanatics...</i>

311
00:31:04,865 --> 00:31:08,660
<i>demonstrated against the Beatles
and their effect on Japanese youth.</i>

312
00:31:11,330 --> 00:31:13,040
This is Tommy Charles.

313
00:31:13,123 --> 00:31:16,502
If you, as an American teenager,
are offended by statements...

314
00:31:16,585 --> 00:31:18,629
<i>from a group of foreign singers,
which strike...</i>

315
00:31:19,796 --> 00:31:23,425
<i>at the very basis of our existence
as God-fearing, patriotic citizens...</i>

316
00:31:23,509 --> 00:31:25,344
<i>then we urge you to take
your Beatles records...</i>

317
00:31:25,427 --> 00:31:29,264
<i>pictures and souvenirs
to the pick-up points about to be named.</i>

318
00:31:29,348 --> 00:31:32,809
<i>And on the night of the Beatles'
appearance in Memphis, August 19...</i>

319
00:31:32,893 --> 00:31:35,729
<i>they will be destroyed
in a huge public bonfire...</i>

320
00:31:35,812 --> 00:31:39,983
<i>at a place to be named soon. Stay tuned
to Rocky for further developments.</i>

321
00:31:40,734 --> 00:31:42,069
Now this religious controversy...

322
00:31:42,152 --> 00:31:44,321
I know that you don't want
to say too much about it...

323
00:31:44,404 --> 00:31:46,907
does it worry you it's gonna
boil up when you get to the States?

324
00:31:46,990 --> 00:31:51,703
It worries me, yes, but I hope everything
will be all right in the end, as they say.

325
00:31:52,371 --> 00:31:55,082
I think the Beatles
are a real talented group...

326
00:31:55,165 --> 00:31:57,501
but I think they need to watch
what they say because...

327
00:31:57,584 --> 00:32:00,587
they're in such a position
that a lot of teenagers...

328
00:32:00,671 --> 00:32:03,173
really think of them
as something really big.

329
00:32:03,257 --> 00:32:04,883
When they say things like that...

330
00:32:04,967 --> 00:32:07,845
some teenagers are gonna just believe
anything they say.

331
00:32:07,928 --> 00:32:10,722
I'm not saying that we're better
or greater...

332
00:32:10,806 --> 00:32:13,767
or comparing us with Jesus Christ
as a person...

333
00:32:13,851 --> 00:32:16,144
or God as a thing, or whatever it is.

334
00:32:16,228 --> 00:32:21,024
I just said what I said, and it was wrong,
or was taken wrong. And now it's all this.

335
00:32:21,108 --> 00:32:24,528
Did you mean that the Beatles
are more popular than Christ?

336
00:32:24,611 --> 00:32:28,031
When I was talking about him, it was very
close and intimate with this person...

337
00:32:28,115 --> 00:32:30,200
that I know, who happens to be a reporter.

338
00:32:30,284 --> 00:32:34,913
And I was using expressions on things
that I'd just read, and derived...

339
00:32:34,955 --> 00:32:38,917
about Christianity, only I was saying it
in the simplest form that I know...

340
00:32:38,959 --> 00:32:40,752
which is the natural way I talk.

341
00:32:40,836 --> 00:32:44,756
What's the most enjoyable thing
for you four about this adulation...

342
00:32:44,798 --> 00:32:47,759
this almost godhood on earth
that you've achieved?

343
00:32:48,177 --> 00:32:49,595
Don't say that.

344
00:32:50,804 --> 00:32:53,682
- It was him. He said it.
- You all saw that.

345
00:32:54,933 --> 00:32:57,269
The Ku Klux Klan,
being a religious order...

346
00:32:58,478 --> 00:33:02,065
is going to come out here the night
that they appear at the Coliseum here.

347
00:33:02,149 --> 00:33:03,942
And we're gonna demonstrate with...

348
00:33:05,819 --> 00:33:09,698
different ways, tactics,
to stop this performance.

349
00:33:09,781 --> 00:33:12,910
We are known as a terror organization
and I think we have...

350
00:33:12,993 --> 00:33:14,077
A terror organization?

351
00:33:14,161 --> 00:33:17,331
We have ways and means to stop this,
if this is going to be the case.

352
00:33:17,414 --> 00:33:19,249
What ways and means?

353
00:33:19,333 --> 00:33:22,294
I don't want to say this,
but there will be a lot of surprises...

354
00:33:22,377 --> 00:33:25,214
Monday night, I believe,
when they get here.

355
00:33:25,297 --> 00:33:27,758
You officers that are stationed...

356
00:33:28,050 --> 00:33:31,553
in front of the stage,
behind the barricade...

357
00:33:32,095 --> 00:33:35,974
you will go to Mr. Morris Shapiro,
the first-aid man...

358
00:33:36,517 --> 00:33:39,311
and he will furnish you with earplugs...

359
00:33:40,687 --> 00:33:43,732
so as to keep you from having a headache.

360
00:33:44,858 --> 00:33:48,195
If he runs out of earplugs,
he has got some cotton.

361
00:33:48,862 --> 00:33:51,448
- Is that understood?
- Yes, sir.

362
00:33:53,992 --> 00:33:56,829
<i>The music wasn't being heard.
It was just...</i>

363
00:33:57,287 --> 00:33:58,705
<i>a sort of freak show.</i>

364
00:33:58,789 --> 00:34:01,750
<i>The Beatles were the show,
and the music had nothing to do with it.</i>

365
00:34:01,834 --> 00:34:04,336
<i>The only reason to be a Beatle
was to make music...</i>

366
00:34:04,419 --> 00:34:07,214
<i>and not just to, sort of, be in a circus.</i>

367
00:34:21,687 --> 00:34:23,522
<i>After the Beatles'last tour...</i>

368
00:34:23,564 --> 00:34:26,358
<i>which was the one
where the Ku Klux Klan were burning...</i>

369
00:34:26,441 --> 00:34:30,195
<i>Beatle records, and I was held up
as a Satanist or something...</i>

370
00:34:30,696 --> 00:34:33,407
<i>then we decided, no more touring.
That's enough of that.</i>

371
00:34:33,490 --> 00:34:35,690
<i>But I was really too
scared to walk away.</i>

372
00:34:35,742 --> 00:34:38,078
<i>I was thinking, this
is like the end, really.</i>

373
00:34:38,162 --> 00:34:40,539
<i>There's no more touring.
That's when I started considering:</i>

374
00:34:40,581 --> 00:34:42,666
<i>"What the hell do you do all day?"</i>

375
00:34:43,834 --> 00:34:45,043
<i>So I said yes to Dick Lester...</i>

376
00:34:45,127 --> 00:34:49,214
<i>that I would make this movie with him
and went to Altamira, Spain for six weeks.</i>

377
00:34:53,260 --> 00:34:54,553
<i>At a studio in London...</i>

378
00:34:54,595 --> 00:34:57,431
<i>the Beatles have just come together
for the first time in four months...</i>

379
00:34:57,514 --> 00:34:58,515
<i>to record some songs.</i>

380
00:34:59,766 --> 00:35:03,061
The songwriting team, they will keep
going on, whatever happens, will it?

381
00:35:03,103 --> 00:35:06,899
Yeah, we'll probably carry on
writing music forever...

382
00:35:06,940 --> 00:35:10,402
whatever else we're doing,
'cause you just can't stop.

383
00:35:10,444 --> 00:35:13,238
You find yourself doing it
whether you want to or not.

384
00:35:13,322 --> 00:35:16,909
Do you think the tours, like
the American tours and the English one...

385
00:35:16,992 --> 00:35:18,076
It stands in England?

386
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:22,039
There must be a point
where they don't work anymore...

387
00:35:22,122 --> 00:35:24,041
because they're not to do
with what we're doing...

388
00:35:24,124 --> 00:35:26,752
record-wise or film-wise.

389
00:35:26,793 --> 00:35:30,172
<i>Before we did Sergeant Pepper, we were
given a license to kill, so to speak...</i>

390
00:35:30,255 --> 00:35:31,965
<i>because we were already successful.</i>

391
00:35:33,133 --> 00:35:35,344
And I knew that I could do in the studio
just what I wanted.

392
00:35:35,427 --> 00:35:38,096
And I knew that they wanted
to experiment a bit more.

393
00:35:38,180 --> 00:35:42,017
So we just let our hair down
and went for broke.

394
00:35:42,100 --> 00:35:45,604
<i>In fact, when I say Pepper, I mean
I'm starting off with Strawberry Fields...</i>

395
00:35:45,687 --> 00:35:48,649
<i>which was the beginning ofPepper,
although it wasn't on the album.</i>

396
00:35:48,690 --> 00:35:50,984
<i>That was one of the great songs he did.</i>

397
00:37:08,604 --> 00:37:12,316
<i>I really wasn't aware of their taking drugs
much before that.</i>

398
00:37:13,108 --> 00:37:15,777
<i>I was aware of them smoking pot.</i>

399
00:37:16,153 --> 00:37:18,447
<i>And even during
the Sergeant Pepper bit...</i>

400
00:37:18,530 --> 00:37:21,658
<i>I wasn't too sure about
what they were doing.</i>

401
00:37:21,742 --> 00:37:24,119
I didn't really want to know,
'cause I didn't approve of it.

402
00:37:24,203 --> 00:37:28,874
And they were rather like school kids.
They used to keep it away from me.

403
00:37:28,916 --> 00:37:31,793
If they wanted to go
and have a drag of a smoke...

404
00:37:31,877 --> 00:37:33,921
they wouldn't do it in the studio.

405
00:37:34,004 --> 00:37:37,382
They would nip into the canteen
and lock the door...

406
00:37:37,466 --> 00:37:39,801
like naughty boys in the lavatory.

407
00:37:39,885 --> 00:37:42,721
They would go away and hide,
away from the schoolmaster.

408
00:37:48,185 --> 00:37:51,396
<i>Surrealism had a great effect on me
'cause then I realized that...</i>

409
00:37:51,438 --> 00:37:54,775
<i>my imagery in my mind wasn't insanity.</i>

410
00:37:54,858 --> 00:37:57,903
<i>Psychedelic vision is reality to me.</i>

411
00:39:13,562 --> 00:39:17,566
Some newspaperman came up
and he said, "Have you had LSD?"

412
00:39:17,649 --> 00:39:21,862
So I thought,
"I'll either be cagey here or be honest."

413
00:39:22,070 --> 00:39:23,405
So I said, "Yes."

414
00:39:23,489 --> 00:39:26,158
And it was his responsibility,
reporting it.

415
00:39:26,241 --> 00:39:28,577
So they had him on TV saying,
"Why did you say this?"

416
00:39:28,952 --> 00:39:30,204
Very much like that statement...

417
00:39:30,287 --> 00:39:33,165
They kept asking him, "Did you take it?"
So he says, "Yeah."

418
00:39:33,207 --> 00:39:35,959
But on TV, he says,
"You don't print this bit of film.

419
00:39:36,043 --> 00:39:38,170
"I don't want to tell anybody about that.
It's private"...

420
00:39:38,253 --> 00:39:40,297
Almost like the situation
with the Christ statement.

421
00:39:40,380 --> 00:39:43,550
But see, they just asked
me a question. I gave them an answer.

422
00:39:43,634 --> 00:39:45,427
And then it was blown up.

423
00:39:45,594 --> 00:39:50,224
I mean, you know, I just spoke the truth
and it's sometimes painful.

424
00:39:51,308 --> 00:39:54,019
This is the truth.
My son came home with a drawing...

425
00:39:54,102 --> 00:39:57,773
and showed me
this strange-Iooking woman flying around.

426
00:39:57,898 --> 00:40:00,734
I said, "What is it?" He said,
"It's Lucy in the sky with diamonds."

427
00:40:00,818 --> 00:40:03,779
I thought, "That's beautiful."
I immediately wrote a song about it.

428
00:40:03,862 --> 00:40:06,490
The song had gone out,
the whole album had been published...

429
00:40:06,573 --> 00:40:10,702
when somebody noticed
that the letters spelled out "LSD."

430
00:40:10,786 --> 00:40:12,204
And I had no idea about it.

431
00:40:12,287 --> 00:40:14,081
And, of course,
after that I was checking...

432
00:40:14,164 --> 00:40:16,458
all the songs to see
what the letters spelled out.

433
00:40:16,542 --> 00:40:18,710
They didn't spell out anything.
None of the others.

434
00:40:18,752 --> 00:40:20,838
It wasn't about that at all, you know.

435
00:41:10,220 --> 00:41:13,348
<i>The terrible news came
that Brian had died.</i>

436
00:41:13,432 --> 00:41:15,893
<i>Apparently, he'd taken an overdose.</i>

437
00:41:15,976 --> 00:41:19,229
<i>We were so shocked because
Brian was such a kingpin...</i>

438
00:41:19,313 --> 00:41:21,982
<i>of what was going on in our lives.
He was the father figure.</i>

439
00:41:22,065 --> 00:41:24,318
<i>And, all of a sudden, that had finished.</i>

440
00:41:24,735 --> 00:41:27,571
<i>That really sent things into chaos.</i>

441
00:41:28,363 --> 00:41:29,698
Tickets, please. Thanks very much.

442
00:41:31,158 --> 00:41:35,329
<i>Following a lecture that everybody
had been to, to see the Maharishi...</i>

443
00:41:35,746 --> 00:41:38,999
<i>they were invited to go to Bangor
for a weekend...</i>

444
00:41:39,082 --> 00:41:43,086
<i>to do meditation and to feel
the experience of meditation.</i>

445
00:41:43,170 --> 00:41:46,632
<i>I think they needed a break
from the madness.</i>

446
00:41:47,216 --> 00:41:51,011
<i>So we all ended up getting on a train
to Bangor, for this trip.</i>

447
00:41:51,094 --> 00:41:54,681
<i>And I, as usual, was trailing behind
with the hand baggage.</i>

448
00:41:54,765 --> 00:41:58,268
<i>And a massive policeman
put his arm out and stopped me.</i>

449
00:41:59,019 --> 00:42:03,440
<i>I couldn't get on the train. And the last
thing that I saw was John's head.</i>

450
00:42:03,524 --> 00:42:06,985
<i>I can't imagine what he was saying,
but it was probably pretty rude about...</i>

451
00:42:07,069 --> 00:42:11,323
<i>"For Christ's sake, Cyn, you're too slow
again. Why couldn't you run with us?"</i>

452
00:42:12,574 --> 00:42:16,537
And at that point I just felt, "That's it."

453
00:42:16,620 --> 00:42:18,539
Somehow, I can't explain it.

454
00:42:18,622 --> 00:42:22,835
And normally I would
not have broken down.

455
00:42:23,335 --> 00:42:26,004
I would have been pretty cool and calm...

456
00:42:26,088 --> 00:42:28,507
and I knew that I would get there anyway.

457
00:42:28,549 --> 00:42:31,635
But at that point, I just felt so sad...

458
00:42:31,718 --> 00:42:35,013
that this is symbolic of our life now.

459
00:42:35,097 --> 00:42:38,725
It's like,
"I'm getting off at this station."

460
00:42:38,809 --> 00:42:41,228
And it was pretty true after that.

461
00:42:42,104 --> 00:42:46,275
Yoko was having an art show in London
at a gallery called Indica Gallery.

462
00:42:46,525 --> 00:42:48,235
<i>And I heard this was going
to be a happening.</i>

463
00:42:48,318 --> 00:42:49,903
<i>So I went down
the night before the opening.</i>

464
00:42:49,987 --> 00:42:51,947
<i>And the first thing
that was in the gallery...</i>

465
00:42:52,030 --> 00:42:53,866
<i>as you went in there was
a white stepladder...</i>

466
00:42:53,907 --> 00:42:57,911
<i>and a painting on the ceiling
and a spyglass hanging down.</i>

467
00:42:57,995 --> 00:43:00,622
<i>I walked up this ladder
and I picked up the spyglass.</i>

468
00:43:00,706 --> 00:43:01,707
<i>It was balancing there.</i>

469
00:43:01,790 --> 00:43:05,043
<i>And in teeny little writing
it just said "yes."If it had said "no"...</i>

470
00:43:05,127 --> 00:43:08,255
- or something nasty...
- Something nasty.

471
00:43:08,338 --> 00:43:12,176
Like "rip-off," or whatever, I would have
left the gallery...

472
00:43:12,259 --> 00:43:14,011
but because it was positive,
it said, "Yes"...

473
00:43:14,094 --> 00:43:18,515
I thought, "This is the first show I've
been to that said something warm to me."

474
00:43:18,599 --> 00:43:21,226
Then I decided to see the rest of the show,
and that's when we met.

475
00:43:22,269 --> 00:43:25,147
<i>We didn't really get together
till 18 months later.</i>

476
00:43:25,230 --> 00:43:27,566
<i>She came over for a date, as it were...</i>

477
00:43:27,649 --> 00:43:30,777
<i>I had a little studio, which was
really just a lot of tape recorders.</i>

478
00:43:30,861 --> 00:43:33,363
<i>And we made Two Virgins
and I was showing her...</i>

479
00:43:33,447 --> 00:43:35,532
<i>all my different tape recordings,
and all that.</i>

480
00:43:35,616 --> 00:43:37,242
<i>I thought, "This is great."
And I was going...</i>

481
00:43:37,284 --> 00:43:38,869
<i>on the tapes, and she was going...</i>

482
00:43:40,287 --> 00:43:42,498
<i>And we did, we made a tape all night.</i>

483
00:43:42,581 --> 00:43:45,918
<i>And in the morning we made love
as the sun came up.</i>

484
00:43:59,806 --> 00:44:01,642
"Surprise, surprise."

485
00:44:02,935 --> 00:44:06,897
<i>We shot the cover ourselves, privately,
and put out Two Virgins.</i>

486
00:44:06,980 --> 00:44:10,609
<i>And it was a kind of statement as well,
an awakening for me, too.</i>

487
00:44:10,984 --> 00:44:14,196
<i>This is me, naked, with the woman I love.</i>

488
00:44:15,030 --> 00:44:16,198
When you were with the Beatles...

489
00:44:16,281 --> 00:44:18,951
you didn't express yourself
politically at all, did you?

490
00:44:19,034 --> 00:44:20,452
On our first tour...

491
00:44:20,494 --> 00:44:23,789
there was a sort of unspoken thing...

492
00:44:23,872 --> 00:44:27,793
that Mr. Epstein was preventing us
talking about the Vietnam War.

493
00:44:27,876 --> 00:44:30,379
And before we came back
the second time to America...

494
00:44:30,462 --> 00:44:31,630
George and I said to him:

495
00:44:31,672 --> 00:44:34,216
"We don't go unless we answer
what we feel about the war."

496
00:44:34,299 --> 00:44:35,384
'Cause you were being asked?

497
00:44:35,467 --> 00:44:37,052
'Cause we were
asked about it all the time...

498
00:44:37,135 --> 00:44:40,097
it was just silly, and we had
to pretend to be like in the old days...

499
00:44:40,180 --> 00:44:42,516
when artists weren't meant to say
anything about anything.

500
00:45:25,893 --> 00:45:29,188
"When you talk about destruction,
count me out... in."

501
00:45:29,229 --> 00:45:30,856
What did you mean by that, John?

502
00:45:30,939 --> 00:45:34,026
That means I'm not sure. I really think...

503
00:45:34,568 --> 00:45:37,988
if it gets to destruction,
you can count me out, but I'm not sure.

504
00:45:38,071 --> 00:45:42,701
I'm human and I'm liable to change,
or depending on the situation.

505
00:45:43,202 --> 00:45:45,204
I prefer nonviolence.

506
00:46:32,751 --> 00:46:36,755
<i>Yesterday, John Lennon and his girlfriend,
the Japanese actress, Yoko Ono...</i>

507
00:46:36,839 --> 00:46:40,342
<i>were arrested and charged with
the use of marijuana.</i>

508
00:46:40,425 --> 00:46:44,596
<i>And today they were arraigned here,
at Magistrate's Court, in London.</i>

509
00:46:44,638 --> 00:46:48,183
<i>He's the one who's known
as the most "way out" of the Beatles.</i>

510
00:46:48,267 --> 00:46:51,061
<i>Right now, John Lennon is looking
very hard for his car...</i>

511
00:46:51,144 --> 00:46:54,231
<i>because if he doesn't get to his car,
he's likely to be mobbed.</i>

512
00:46:54,314 --> 00:46:56,191
John, Cynthia is better than her!

513
00:46:56,275 --> 00:46:59,653
<i>That girl next to me just a moment ago
said, "Cynthia is better than her."</i>

514
00:47:00,279 --> 00:47:02,698
Initially, when we met...

515
00:47:02,823 --> 00:47:03,991
I think there was a feeling of...

516
00:47:05,367 --> 00:47:07,703
not really wanting to get together.

517
00:47:07,786 --> 00:47:09,663
Because...

518
00:47:09,830 --> 00:47:13,834
we knew this was a big one, both of us...

519
00:47:13,917 --> 00:47:15,294
and we didn't want to get in.

520
00:47:15,460 --> 00:47:18,547
<i>And, then, when we got together...</i>

521
00:47:18,630 --> 00:47:21,341
<i>I think we basically knew
that it was going to be it.</i>

522
00:47:21,425 --> 00:47:25,637
<i>And after that, it took about a year,
I think...</i>

523
00:47:25,679 --> 00:47:27,973
<i>before we finally got married.</i>

524
00:48:07,054 --> 00:48:09,014
Yes, fortunately...

525
00:48:09,056 --> 00:48:11,391
we both agree.

526
00:48:11,808 --> 00:48:13,727
Unfortunately, not always.

527
00:48:15,145 --> 00:48:16,396
But in the end...

528
00:48:18,065 --> 00:48:21,944
we get into something
and forget that we ever disagreed.

529
00:48:22,903 --> 00:48:26,198
Fortunately, I met you at the right time.

530
00:48:27,950 --> 00:48:29,785
Unfortunately, that's right.

531
00:48:31,578 --> 00:48:33,247
But...

532
00:48:33,664 --> 00:48:35,624
in the end...

533
00:48:38,085 --> 00:48:40,128
I wonder what's going to happen?

534
00:48:40,212 --> 00:48:42,297
Fortunately, we don't know.

535
00:48:42,756 --> 00:48:44,258
Fortunately...

536
00:48:45,968 --> 00:48:47,219
I'm in love with you.

537
00:48:48,470 --> 00:48:51,557
Unfortunately, I'm in love with you, too.

538
00:49:13,829 --> 00:49:16,707
This is another peace protest, by the way.

539
00:49:17,082 --> 00:49:18,417
Why the bag?

540
00:49:18,500 --> 00:49:21,587
Because we believe
in total communication.

541
00:49:21,670 --> 00:49:25,257
That means, if we have something to say,
or anybody has something to say...

542
00:49:25,799 --> 00:49:27,801
they can communicate
and not confuse you...

543
00:49:27,885 --> 00:49:31,263
with what color your skin is,
or how long your hair's grown, or...

544
00:49:31,346 --> 00:49:32,514
How long is your hair?

545
00:49:32,598 --> 00:49:34,224
You have to guess!

546
00:49:34,641 --> 00:49:38,312
It is not important. It's only what I say,
that's what we're here for.

547
00:49:38,395 --> 00:49:40,814
All we're saying is give peace a chance.

548
00:49:40,898 --> 00:49:43,317
Or if the least we can do
is give somebody a laugh...

549
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,110
we're willing to be the world's clowns...

550
00:49:45,152 --> 00:49:48,906
because we think it's a bit serious
at the moment and a bit intellectual.

551
00:50:24,858 --> 00:50:26,819
<i>John Lennon, Man of the Decade.
Take one.</i>

552
00:50:27,778 --> 00:50:29,988
How hopeful are you
about the future, John?

553
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:33,992
I'm full of optimism, knowing that there's
other people around...

554
00:50:34,076 --> 00:50:35,619
who...

555
00:50:36,119 --> 00:50:38,914
I can get on, agree with.

556
00:50:39,581 --> 00:50:44,044
I'm not insane. I'm not alone.
That's just on a personal level.

557
00:50:44,419 --> 00:50:49,132
Of course, the Woodstock, Isle of Wight,
all the mass meetings of the youth...

558
00:50:49,424 --> 00:50:51,343
is completely positive for me.

559
00:50:51,426 --> 00:50:54,179
And when I'm negative, I've got Yoko.

560
00:50:54,471 --> 00:50:57,349
The '60s were just
waking up in the morning.

561
00:50:57,558 --> 00:50:59,935
And we haven't even
got to dinnertime yet.

562
00:51:00,227 --> 00:51:04,481
I can't wait. I just can't wait.
I'm so glad to be around.

563
00:51:04,940 --> 00:51:06,942
And it's just going to be great,
and there's gonna be...

564
00:51:08,986 --> 00:51:10,070
You're driving it, too. I see.

565
00:51:17,452 --> 00:51:22,166
Sorry. This is for love, I'm doing this,
you understand. And for art.

566
00:51:23,584 --> 00:51:25,419
- He just wanted to...
- For the sake of art.

567
00:51:25,502 --> 00:51:30,257
<i>If you think you know me or you have
some part of me because of the music...</i>

568
00:51:30,340 --> 00:51:34,219
<i>and then you think that I'm being
controlled like a dog on a leash...</i>

569
00:51:34,303 --> 00:51:36,430
<i>because I do things with her...</i>

570
00:51:36,513 --> 00:51:40,434
<i>then screw you, brother, or sister.
You don't know what's happening.</i>

571
00:51:40,517 --> 00:51:43,479
<i>I'm not here for you.
I'm here for me and her.</i>

572
00:51:44,188 --> 00:51:46,440
Is that the audience
you're keeping out there?

573
00:51:46,523 --> 00:51:48,942
I'll try and get them to let you in.

574
00:51:49,026 --> 00:51:50,569
This way.

575
00:51:52,446 --> 00:51:54,239
Can I put something to both of you...

576
00:51:54,323 --> 00:51:57,284
about this creative phase
that you're both going through at present?

577
00:51:57,367 --> 00:52:00,954
I think you've got to accept, John
and Yoko, that, particularly you, John...

578
00:52:01,038 --> 00:52:05,292
that it's alienated you from the people
who originally loved you in this country.

579
00:52:05,375 --> 00:52:07,503
- A lot of them.
- They don't understand you anymore.

580
00:52:07,544 --> 00:52:11,048
The alienation started
was when I met Yoko.

581
00:52:11,507 --> 00:52:14,218
And people do not seem to like
people getting a divorce.

582
00:52:14,593 --> 00:52:18,055
It's all right to do it quietly,
but we can't do it quietly.

583
00:52:18,096 --> 00:52:21,934
So everyone has this impression
that John's gone crazy.

584
00:52:22,059 --> 00:52:24,686
But all I did was fall in love,
like a lot of people do...

585
00:52:24,728 --> 00:52:28,065
who are already married,
who married somebody very young.

586
00:52:28,148 --> 00:52:31,443
We're not superhuman
and we really get hurt by abuse.

587
00:52:31,527 --> 00:52:34,071
We don't mind criticism of our work at all.

588
00:52:34,238 --> 00:52:37,491
But the British press
actually called Yoko ugly in the papers.

589
00:52:37,574 --> 00:52:39,910
I've never seen that
about any woman or man...

590
00:52:40,118 --> 00:52:42,454
even if it was that the person is ugly.

591
00:52:42,579 --> 00:52:44,957
You don't normally say it in the paper.

592
00:52:45,165 --> 00:52:47,251
"That ugly woman." And she's not ugly.

593
00:52:47,334 --> 00:52:49,795
And if she was, you wouldn't be so mean.

594
00:52:49,878 --> 00:52:53,549
They even say "attractive" about the most
awful-Iooking people, just to be kind.

595
00:52:54,132 --> 00:52:56,844
That's the kind of treatment
we were getting at that time...

596
00:52:56,927 --> 00:52:58,095
and it really hurt us.

597
00:53:08,355 --> 00:53:09,690
John!

598
00:53:13,443 --> 00:53:14,862
Yoko!

599
00:53:31,128 --> 00:53:33,255
You're sending us the
"in the middle of the night" verse.

600
00:53:33,297 --> 00:53:35,591
We don't want that one.
We want the one on clouds.

601
00:53:35,632 --> 00:53:39,219
We're going to do the harmonies
to "in the middle of a cloud" bit.

602
00:53:40,262 --> 00:53:43,265
What's the matter with you, Philip?
It's the last fucking verse.

603
00:53:43,765 --> 00:53:45,893
"In the middle of the cloud
I called your name.

604
00:53:45,976 --> 00:53:48,896
"Oh, Yoko."
We stopped here once, remember?

605
00:53:48,979 --> 00:53:52,524
That's the one you're playing now.
We don't want that one.

606
00:53:52,608 --> 00:53:55,235
We want the one
that he recorded afterwards.

607
00:53:55,319 --> 00:53:59,990
"All new and free." That was from
"In the middle of a cloud," after the end.

608
00:54:00,324 --> 00:54:02,826
He did a new version, remember?

609
00:54:02,910 --> 00:54:05,787
- That's the one we want. Okay.
- We're just there. All right.

610
00:54:07,664 --> 00:54:10,667
The end of the song
is just like the fucking rest of it.

611
00:54:10,751 --> 00:54:14,379
We're going to sing the harmonies
to "Oh, Yoko." Come on!

612
00:54:15,589 --> 00:54:17,716
Why don't you just
forget about this, darling?

613
00:54:17,799 --> 00:54:20,093
Relax until we say, "okay."

614
00:54:40,447 --> 00:54:43,951
John, why don't you just
sing it for him once?

615
00:55:07,224 --> 00:55:08,559
Okay, now we'll deal with it.

616
00:55:08,892 --> 00:55:10,936
Okay, let's go on to the next track.

617
00:55:12,604 --> 00:55:14,106
Yoko and I...

618
00:55:15,149 --> 00:55:16,900
when we got together...

619
00:55:17,484 --> 00:55:18,735
decided that whatever... We knew...

620
00:55:18,819 --> 00:55:20,571
whatever we did
was going be in the papers.

621
00:55:21,530 --> 00:55:23,198
Whether it's Richard or Liz...

622
00:55:23,282 --> 00:55:24,575
or so-and-so gets married...

623
00:55:24,658 --> 00:55:27,703
or whatever people like us do
is gonna be in the papers.

624
00:55:27,744 --> 00:55:29,872
<i>So we decided to utilize the space...</i>

625
00:55:29,913 --> 00:55:33,000
<i>we would occupy anyway,
by getting married...</i>

626
00:55:33,083 --> 00:55:35,836
<i>with a commercial for peace.</i>

627
00:55:35,919 --> 00:55:37,880
<i>And also a theatrical event.</i>

628
00:55:47,472 --> 00:55:49,224
<i>And what we basically
had was a seven-day...</i>

629
00:55:50,392 --> 00:55:53,520
<i>press conference in bed.</i>

630
00:55:54,313 --> 00:55:56,273
It's a bed-in, folks.

631
00:55:57,107 --> 00:55:59,234
<i>The first day they fought
at the door to get in...</i>

632
00:55:59,276 --> 00:56:02,613
<i>thinking there was something
sexy going on.</i>

633
00:56:02,654 --> 00:56:04,656
<i>And they found two people
talking about peace.</i>

634
00:56:04,781 --> 00:56:07,993
Even if you can beat the establishment
at their own game...

635
00:56:08,076 --> 00:56:11,830
I don't believe in that game. I think
the only way to do it is Gandhi's way.

636
00:56:11,914 --> 00:56:15,209
That's nonviolent, passive, positive
or whatever they call it these old days.

637
00:56:15,292 --> 00:56:18,754
Is there not a more positive way
of demonstrating in favor of peace...

638
00:56:18,795 --> 00:56:20,756
than sitting in bed
eating three square meals a day...

639
00:56:20,797 --> 00:56:21,882
Now, it's a different age.

640
00:56:21,965 --> 00:56:23,884
It's gimmicks and salesmanship.

641
00:56:23,967 --> 00:56:26,303
And if that's what'll put it across,
that's the way to do it.

642
00:56:26,386 --> 00:56:29,681
Whether you're protesting against
the conditions you live in...

643
00:56:29,765 --> 00:56:33,352
or the conditions you work in,
or the conditions of the whole world.

644
00:56:33,435 --> 00:56:34,853
- Can I talk to you?
- Yeah, sure.

645
00:56:34,937 --> 00:56:36,522
Okay. Okay Rog.

646
00:56:36,605 --> 00:56:38,273
I think we got the message over, Roger.

647
00:56:38,315 --> 00:56:41,026
I think the message is catching on.
The peace message.

648
00:56:41,109 --> 00:56:43,654
Chuck, don't you think so,
the peace message is catching on?

649
00:56:43,737 --> 00:56:48,158
Right, he thinks so. We met a lot of
groovy people, made some good contacts.

650
00:56:48,367 --> 00:56:49,785
- Right?
- For tomorrow?

651
00:56:49,910 --> 00:56:52,204
For tomorrow? Who knows?

652
00:56:52,287 --> 00:56:56,375
I'm a dreadful Neanderthal fascist.
How do you do?

653
00:56:56,458 --> 00:56:58,627
John and Yoko, meet cartoonist Al Capp.

654
00:57:00,087 --> 00:57:02,172
We've had all sorts in here.

655
00:57:02,297 --> 00:57:03,841
I'm sure you have.

656
00:57:06,051 --> 00:57:08,720
One of the things that had...

657
00:57:09,179 --> 00:57:13,350
interested me was that you said
that you were very shy people.

658
00:57:13,433 --> 00:57:14,935
Yes, we are.

659
00:57:16,270 --> 00:57:18,730
And yet, these are...

660
00:57:19,815 --> 00:57:22,860
- Does that prove you're not shy?
- Certainly not.

661
00:57:22,943 --> 00:57:26,905
Only the shyest people in the world
would take pictures like this.

662
00:57:26,989 --> 00:57:31,368
Do shy people...
Do they ever become naked or not?

663
00:57:31,702 --> 00:57:33,328
You think that people that are shy...

664
00:57:33,412 --> 00:57:36,248
Am I quarreling
with your description of yourselves?

665
00:57:36,331 --> 00:57:39,877
If that isn't a picture
of two shy people...

666
00:57:39,960 --> 00:57:42,004
I'd like to know what shyness is.

667
00:57:42,045 --> 00:57:45,257
- What filth!
- Do you think that's filth?

668
00:57:45,340 --> 00:57:48,844
Certainly not.
I'm denouncing people who think it is.

669
00:57:48,886 --> 00:57:53,307
I think that everybody owes it to the world
to prove they have pubic hair.

670
00:57:53,390 --> 00:57:54,892
And you've done it.

671
00:57:55,267 --> 00:57:59,563
You've done it and I tell you
that I applaud you for it.

672
00:57:59,646 --> 00:58:01,648
If you want to prove it, you can prove it.

673
00:58:01,732 --> 00:58:03,233
Why don't you prove it now...

674
00:58:03,817 --> 00:58:06,445
I don't feel that there's
any great interest in it.

675
00:58:06,528 --> 00:58:09,364
Clearly, you must have felt
the world wanted to know...

676
00:58:09,406 --> 00:58:11,450
what your private parts looked like.

677
00:58:11,533 --> 00:58:13,660
And now the world knows.

678
00:58:13,744 --> 00:58:17,080
I tell you that's one of
the greatest contributions...

679
00:58:17,164 --> 00:58:19,583
to enlightenment and culture of our time.

680
00:58:19,625 --> 00:58:20,709
I'm glad you noticed.

681
00:58:20,792 --> 00:58:22,002
I wanna thank...

682
00:58:22,628 --> 00:58:25,005
I wanna tell you it's hard not to notice.

683
00:58:25,088 --> 00:58:29,718
Now you have a song and one of the lines,
and correct me if it isn't:

684
00:58:29,801 --> 00:58:33,597
"Christ, it ain't easy. Everywhere I go,
they're gonna crucify me."

685
00:58:33,639 --> 00:58:35,849
Rubbish. I didn't say it. The lyric goes:

686
00:58:35,933 --> 00:58:39,394
"Christ, you know it ain't easy.
You know how hard it can be.

687
00:58:39,770 --> 00:58:43,232
"The way things are going,
they're gonna crucify me." And you, baby.

688
00:58:45,025 --> 00:58:49,488
This isn't my song.
These don't express my...

689
00:58:49,571 --> 00:58:50,823
We are all together in this world.

690
00:58:50,906 --> 00:58:54,117
Let's face it. You and I are married
together in this world.

691
00:58:54,201 --> 00:58:55,953
You see, it's like being stuck in...

692
00:58:56,036 --> 00:58:58,914
That is a very unkind thought
to plant in my mind.

693
00:58:58,956 --> 00:59:01,250
I want to tell you
that this may stay with me...

694
00:59:01,291 --> 00:59:02,584
and I'll wake up screaming.

695
00:59:02,626 --> 00:59:05,295
This is not true.
You say that to him, not to me.

696
00:59:05,379 --> 00:59:07,631
That's your paranoia.
Everybody's married in this world...

697
00:59:07,714 --> 00:59:09,675
No, it's just a matter of taste.

698
00:59:10,717 --> 00:59:12,010
What do you want to know?

699
00:59:12,094 --> 00:59:16,098
In the lyric, you said
they were going to crucify you.

700
00:59:16,181 --> 00:59:19,476
- Yeah. If you take it literally.
- How did you mean it?

701
00:59:20,978 --> 00:59:24,398
- It means everything you want it to mean.
- What did you want it to mean?

702
00:59:24,481 --> 00:59:27,818
They're gonna crucify me
and you and everyone else.

703
00:59:27,860 --> 00:59:29,987
But you said,
"They're going to crucify me."

704
00:59:30,070 --> 00:59:31,822
- Lf you're gonna take it literally...
- Me is you.

705
00:59:31,864 --> 00:59:33,615
Me... And I say that we're all one.

706
00:59:33,657 --> 00:59:36,201
I didn't permit you to speak for me.
Who are you speaking for?

707
00:59:36,285 --> 00:59:37,786
I took that liberty, Mr. Capp.

708
00:59:37,870 --> 00:59:39,079
It's too much of a liberty...

709
00:59:39,163 --> 00:59:41,623
I was speaking on behalf
of the people in general...

710
00:59:41,707 --> 00:59:44,126
- in a poetic sense.
- You're speaking for yourselves...

711
00:59:44,168 --> 00:59:46,295
As a representative of the human race...

712
00:59:46,378 --> 00:59:48,964
I'm speaking for us all
whether you like it or not.

713
00:59:49,006 --> 00:59:53,343
Whatever race you're
the representative of, I ain't part of it.

714
00:59:54,469 --> 00:59:58,974
Maybe yours is the human race
and mine is something less hirsute.

715
00:59:59,808 --> 01:00:01,727
But whatever race, it's your race.

716
01:00:02,144 --> 01:00:04,646
- You belong to a race on your own.
- Everybody in this room...

717
01:00:04,730 --> 01:00:06,857
represents humanity.
Everybody in this room.

718
01:00:06,940 --> 01:00:10,861
No, you don't represent me, though.
You don't write songs for me.

719
01:00:10,944 --> 01:00:13,780
I want to make that clear to all of Canada.

720
01:00:14,114 --> 01:00:15,240
Especially for you.

721
01:00:15,991 --> 01:00:18,494
I'll let Kate Smith sing my songs.

722
01:00:18,535 --> 01:00:20,662
Who do you write your cartoons for?

723
01:00:20,704 --> 01:00:24,666
I write my cartoons for money.
Just as you sing your songs.

724
01:00:25,125 --> 01:00:26,877
Exactly the same reason.

725
01:00:26,919 --> 01:00:30,380
And exactly the same reason
much of this is happening, too...

726
01:00:30,422 --> 01:00:31,548
if the truth be told.

727
01:00:31,632 --> 01:00:34,051
You think I couldn't
earn money by some other way...

728
01:00:34,092 --> 01:00:36,929
by sitting in bed for seven days,
taking shit from people like you?

729
01:00:37,012 --> 01:00:40,349
I could write a song in an hour
and earn more money.

730
01:00:40,390 --> 01:00:41,809
Now look here, don't say this.

731
01:00:41,892 --> 01:00:44,019
You got into bed so people like me
could come and see you.

732
01:00:44,102 --> 01:00:46,563
But not for money,
that's what you're saying.

733
01:00:47,940 --> 01:00:49,733
It won't do you any real harm...

734
01:00:50,526 --> 01:00:52,027
except you might get some bedsores.

735
01:00:52,069 --> 01:00:54,780
But I could earn money
in more easier ways than doing this.

736
01:00:54,863 --> 01:00:56,990
I tell you what would do you harm.
So could I.

737
01:00:57,074 --> 01:01:01,537
I could make a lot more drawing
people like you, than confronting you.

738
01:01:01,620 --> 01:01:04,081
And I must say it's much more
appetizing drawing them...

739
01:01:04,122 --> 01:01:05,123
because I can leave them.

740
01:01:05,207 --> 01:01:08,085
I prefer singing to doing this
but I'm doing this for a good reason.

741
01:01:08,168 --> 01:01:10,212
What you've just done is when you said:

742
01:01:10,295 --> 01:01:12,589
"Taking shit from people like you."

743
01:01:12,673 --> 01:01:15,467
Now, I was invited here.
You knew I was coming.

744
01:01:15,551 --> 01:01:16,718
- Yeah, sure.
- That's right.

745
01:01:16,802 --> 01:01:18,303
So we're not doing it for money.

746
01:01:18,387 --> 01:01:20,264
- You indicated...
- You haven't any manners at all.

747
01:01:20,305 --> 01:01:22,099
And you have manners?

748
01:01:22,140 --> 01:01:25,644
- I'm your guest. And, really even if...
- And I'm yours.

749
01:01:25,727 --> 01:01:28,105
No, you're not! This is your bedroom!

750
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:29,773
Mr. Capp, may I say one thing?

751
01:01:30,357 --> 01:01:32,651
I'd be delighted with any conversation.

752
01:01:32,734 --> 01:01:34,611
Okay. I'd like to add to that...

753
01:01:34,653 --> 01:01:36,822
Good God, you've gotta live with that?

754
01:01:37,781 --> 01:01:39,366
It's good to just...

755
01:01:39,449 --> 01:01:41,034
Nice guy.

756
01:01:41,118 --> 01:01:45,289
I can see why you want peace.
God knows you can't have much.

757
01:01:45,497 --> 01:01:47,708
I'm delighted to have met you,
Madame Nu.

758
01:01:47,791 --> 01:01:50,294
You are our answer to Madame Nu...

759
01:01:50,377 --> 01:01:51,920
It was great meeting you, Barabbas.

760
01:01:51,962 --> 01:01:55,424
But I'm sure the other three guys...

761
01:01:55,549 --> 01:01:58,302
the other three fellows are Englishmen.

762
01:01:58,802 --> 01:02:00,429
What does that mean?

763
01:02:01,180 --> 01:02:02,681
- You think about it.
- Get out.

764
01:02:02,764 --> 01:02:04,183
I'll try to work it. Now, Derek.

765
01:02:04,266 --> 01:02:06,477
Oh, really, come on!

766
01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,228
But I'm not having these people
insulting you.

767
01:02:08,312 --> 01:02:11,315
Leave it. We asked him here. He's right.

768
01:02:11,940 --> 01:02:13,108
Forgive me.

769
01:02:13,150 --> 01:02:16,778
Look, Derek, it's not for me to
forgive you, it's for your psychiatrist.

770
01:02:17,279 --> 01:02:22,075
<i>Christ, you know it ain't easy
You know how hard it can be</i>

771
01:02:22,493 --> 01:02:26,830
<i>The way things are going
they're gonna crucify Capp</i>

772
01:02:28,665 --> 01:02:32,628
Okay. A one, two. A one, two, three, four.

773
01:03:48,412 --> 01:03:51,206
When John hitched up with Yoko...

774
01:03:51,331 --> 01:03:54,835
he said, "Yoko is now a part of me.

775
01:03:55,252 --> 01:03:59,965
"In other words, as I have a right
and left hand, so I have Yoko. That's me.

776
01:04:00,591 --> 01:04:03,051
<i>"And wherever I am, she is."</i>

777
01:04:03,552 --> 01:04:04,928
<i>That was a bit difficult to deal with.</i>

778
01:04:05,137 --> 01:04:07,055
<i>Suddenly, she would
appear in the control room.</i>

779
01:04:07,097 --> 01:04:08,599
<i>Nobody would say anything to me.</i>

780
01:04:08,640 --> 01:04:11,602
<i>I wasn't even introduced to her,
but she would just sit there...</i>

781
01:04:11,768 --> 01:04:14,438
<i>and her influence would be felt.</i>

782
01:04:14,688 --> 01:04:18,192
<i>To begin with,
everyone was irritated by it.</i>

783
01:04:30,245 --> 01:04:33,248
<i>By the time we got to Let it Be,
we couldn't play the game anymore.</i>

784
01:04:33,290 --> 01:04:34,875
<i>We could see through each other...</i>

785
01:04:34,958 --> 01:04:37,169
<i>and therefore we felt uncomfortable.</i>

786
01:04:37,252 --> 01:04:41,256
<i>Because up till then, we really believed
intensely in what we were doing...</i>

787
01:04:41,340 --> 01:04:44,343
<i>and the product we put out.
Everything had to be just right.</i>

788
01:04:44,426 --> 01:04:47,429
<i>And we believed.
Suddenly, we didn't believe.</i>

789
01:04:47,513 --> 01:04:51,308
I don't mind. I'll play
whatever you want me to play.

790
01:04:51,350 --> 01:04:53,936
Or I won't play at all, if you don't
want me to play.

791
01:04:54,019 --> 01:04:57,606
Whatever it is that will please you,
I'll do it.

792
01:04:57,689 --> 01:04:59,107
<i>So we couldn't do it anymore.</i>

793
01:04:59,149 --> 01:05:01,652
<i>It came to a point
where it was no longer creating magic.</i>

794
01:05:01,693 --> 01:05:05,948
<i>And the camera sort of being in
the room with us made us aware of that.</i>

795
01:05:05,989 --> 01:05:09,493
<i>That it was a phony situation
and that was the end of it.</i>

796
01:05:10,702 --> 01:05:13,831
<i>Out of that frustration
came the crazy idea...</i>

797
01:05:13,914 --> 01:05:16,667
<i>to do a concert on the roof
above the Apple offices.</i>

798
01:05:18,669 --> 01:05:20,879
<i>Of course, none of us
had the vaguest idea...</i>

799
01:05:20,963 --> 01:05:25,425
<i>that would be the last time the Beatles
would ever perform together in public.</i>

800
01:07:42,980 --> 01:07:46,692
Now, does this mean
a business or emotional split...

801
01:07:46,775 --> 01:07:48,902
within the Beatles?

802
01:07:50,028 --> 01:07:52,614
Actually I think a bit of both.
But I think it's more of a break.

803
01:07:52,698 --> 01:07:53,907
He asks this himself...

804
01:07:53,991 --> 01:07:56,660
but doesn't know if it's temporary
or permanent. That's the truth.

805
01:07:56,743 --> 01:07:58,162
I think none of us know that.

806
01:07:58,245 --> 01:08:02,374
His financial interests in Apple
and the organizations will stay?

807
01:08:02,457 --> 01:08:04,334
Yes. Contractually they have to...

808
01:08:04,376 --> 01:08:06,211
and I think emotionally
they'd all want it to.

809
01:08:06,295 --> 01:08:07,796
They never argued about money.

810
01:08:07,838 --> 01:08:11,675
What are the personal differences
that he refers to in...

811
01:08:11,717 --> 01:08:14,261
I don't know.
It's probably to do with growing up.

812
01:08:14,386 --> 01:08:16,430
There was a time
when there were just four of them.

813
01:08:16,513 --> 01:08:18,307
But now they're married
and there are children.

814
01:08:18,348 --> 01:08:20,184
Will anyone ever replace
the Beatles for you?

815
01:08:20,267 --> 01:08:21,268
- No.
- No.

816
01:08:21,852 --> 01:08:26,273
It's just one Beatles group. That's it.
There could never be another.

817
01:08:26,356 --> 01:08:28,859
- What is it about them?
- We grew up with them.

818
01:08:29,026 --> 01:08:32,821
They started when they were younger,
and we were younger.

819
01:08:32,863 --> 01:08:35,365
And all through these years
we've just developed with them...

820
01:08:35,449 --> 01:08:36,909
and grown up with them.

821
01:08:36,992 --> 01:08:39,328
They, like, belong to us, you know?

822
01:08:39,369 --> 01:08:43,123
But there could never be
another Beatles. Never.

823
01:10:52,002 --> 01:10:55,005
<i>Yoko, is that a fresh pot of tea?</i>

824
01:10:55,088 --> 01:10:57,341
- Yes.
- It's fairly fresh.

825
01:10:59,009 --> 01:11:01,512
This is actually a Beatle wife
fixing the tea...

826
01:11:01,595 --> 01:11:04,807
for one of the fab four ex-Beatles.

827
01:11:04,848 --> 01:11:06,683
- Fab three.
- Fab three.

828
01:11:08,352 --> 01:11:11,146
I see Beatle Phil making a pig of himself.

829
01:11:12,147 --> 01:11:14,191
You see much of the Beatles
these days, other Beatles?

830
01:11:14,274 --> 01:11:16,735
I saw a Beatle. Beatle Ed.

831
01:11:16,819 --> 01:11:19,238
- Beatle Ed. How is he?
- He was all right.

832
01:11:19,404 --> 01:11:22,157
But he was just going off on a tour.

833
01:11:22,199 --> 01:11:25,452
Beatle Ed's not doing too well
these days, is he?

834
01:11:25,536 --> 01:11:28,872
- He's number five in Sweden.
- In Sweden, I see.

835
01:11:33,377 --> 01:11:35,170
<i>Paul wrote some song that was...</i>

836
01:11:35,212 --> 01:11:37,589
<i>like a private message. So to speak.</i>

837
01:11:37,673 --> 01:11:41,343
<i>John was upset about those songs.
And so that's how it happened.</i>

838
01:11:41,385 --> 01:11:45,848
<i>It was, like, a reply to Paul,
rather than a message to Paul.</i>

839
01:13:10,974 --> 01:13:12,309
Okay. Stop.

840
01:13:12,392 --> 01:13:16,563
<i>I wrote a sort of song of How Do You
Sleep? On Walls and Bridges.</i>

841
01:13:16,772 --> 01:13:17,856
I can't remember the name.

842
01:13:17,940 --> 01:13:20,234
<i>Steel and Glass, which I thought
was about a few people.</i>

843
01:13:20,317 --> 01:13:22,486
But then I realized, no, it's me again.

844
01:13:22,569 --> 01:13:26,573
It's not about Paul. It's about me.
I'm really attacking myself.

845
01:13:27,324 --> 01:13:30,077
But I regret the association.
Well, not really regret.

846
01:13:31,078 --> 01:13:32,287
He lived through it.

847
01:13:32,830 --> 01:13:35,916
The only thing that matters
is how he and I feel about those things.

848
01:13:35,999 --> 01:13:40,379
And not what the writer
or the commentator thinks about it.

849
01:13:40,629 --> 01:13:41,797
Him and me are okay.

850
01:13:42,798 --> 01:13:43,924
Great.

851
01:13:44,007 --> 01:13:47,845
I am a very busy housewife,
to put it mildly.

852
01:13:48,554 --> 01:13:51,557
Oh, no! They have to say
that it was all a hoax.

853
01:13:52,266 --> 01:13:53,559
What was?

854
01:13:53,642 --> 01:13:55,310
"Lennon lie-in."

855
01:13:55,394 --> 01:13:58,689
"Dear Mr. Lennon. From information
I received while using a Ouija board...

856
01:13:58,772 --> 01:14:01,275
"I believe that there will be an attempt
to assassinate you.

857
01:14:01,358 --> 01:14:04,278
"The spirit that gave me this information
was Brian Epstein.

858
01:14:05,696 --> 01:14:08,657
"He said the attempt will be made in place
on March 6...

859
01:14:08,740 --> 01:14:11,493
"Mr. Epstein also said
that Paul McCartney was alive in London."

860
01:14:13,495 --> 01:14:16,456
"John Lennon doesn't affront the queen
by sending back his MBE.

861
01:14:16,540 --> 01:14:18,500
"He doesn't make ha'penny's
worth of difference...

862
01:14:18,584 --> 01:14:20,043
"to attitudes on Biafra or Vietnam.

863
01:14:20,127 --> 01:14:23,714
"Or to the place of his drug-orientated
record in the charts.

864
01:14:23,797 --> 01:14:25,591
"He makes an ass of himself."

865
01:14:27,217 --> 01:14:29,803
- We waited for hours.
- Remember me?

866
01:14:29,887 --> 01:14:31,638
If I'm going to get on the front page...

867
01:14:31,722 --> 01:14:34,266
I might as well get on the front page
with the word "peace."

868
01:14:34,349 --> 01:14:36,393
But you've made yourself ridiculous.

869
01:14:36,477 --> 01:14:38,103
To some people. I don't care...

870
01:14:38,187 --> 01:14:40,063
- You're too good for what you're doing.
- Lf it saves lives...

871
01:14:41,356 --> 01:14:45,402
You don't think... My dear boy,
you're living in a never-never land.

872
01:14:45,486 --> 01:14:46,487
You talked to a...

873
01:14:46,570 --> 01:14:48,780
You don't think you've
saved a single life?

874
01:14:48,864 --> 01:14:51,575
What do you know about
a protest movement, anyway?

875
01:14:51,658 --> 01:14:52,743
I know a lot about it.

876
01:14:52,826 --> 01:14:53,994
It consists of a lot more than...

877
01:14:54,077 --> 01:14:57,414
sending your chauffeur in your car
back to Buckingham Palace.

878
01:14:57,498 --> 01:14:59,708
You're just a snob about it!
The only way you can make...

879
01:14:59,750 --> 01:15:00,876
You're a fake!

880
01:15:00,918 --> 01:15:03,629
Can't give up something
that means a little more?

881
01:15:03,712 --> 01:15:06,548
It was no sacrifice to get rid of the MBE,
it was an embarrassment...

882
01:15:06,590 --> 01:15:08,467
Then what kind of protest did you make?

883
01:15:08,550 --> 01:15:12,971
- You said I don't know what this...
- It is an advertising campaign for peace.

884
01:15:13,055 --> 01:15:14,640
- Can you understand that?
- No, I can't.

885
01:15:14,723 --> 01:15:16,141
A very big ad
campaign for peace.

886
01:15:16,183 --> 01:15:17,976
I think it's vulgar
and self-aggrandizing.

887
01:15:18,060 --> 01:15:20,521
Are you advertising
John Lennon or peace?

888
01:15:20,604 --> 01:15:23,315
Do you want nice,
middle-class gestures for peace?

889
01:15:23,398 --> 01:15:25,901
And intellectual manifestos...

890
01:15:25,984 --> 01:15:29,279
written by a lot half-witted intellectuals?

891
01:15:29,404 --> 01:15:33,492
And nobody reads them. That's the trouble
with the peace movement.

892
01:15:33,784 --> 01:15:35,744
I'm someone who admired you very much.

893
01:15:35,786 --> 01:15:37,996
I'm sorry you liked
the old mop-tops, dear...

894
01:15:38,080 --> 01:15:41,375
and you thought
I was very satirical and witty.

895
01:15:41,667 --> 01:15:44,044
<i>And you liked Hard Day's Night, love,
but I've grown up.</i>

896
01:15:44,127 --> 01:15:45,963
- But you obviously haven't.
- Have you?

897
01:15:46,547 --> 01:15:48,048
Yes, folks.

898
01:16:03,689 --> 01:16:06,066
<i>John Lennon stopped
during his busy peace campaign today...</i>

899
01:16:06,150 --> 01:16:09,903
<i>to give an interview in which
he spoke candidly about drugs.</i>

900
01:16:10,154 --> 01:16:12,656
It's no good us preaching
at people and saying:

901
01:16:12,739 --> 01:16:14,366
"Don't take them,"
because that doesn't work.

902
01:16:14,449 --> 01:16:17,077
It's like the church telling you
not to drink or not to have sex...

903
01:16:17,161 --> 01:16:19,746
when you're a kid. There's nothing
on earth that's going to do it.

904
01:16:19,830 --> 01:16:21,665
But if people take any notice
of what we say...

905
01:16:21,707 --> 01:16:24,168
we say we've been
through the drug scene, man...

906
01:16:24,543 --> 01:16:27,629
and there is nothing like being straight.

907
01:16:27,838 --> 01:16:30,174
But you need hope,
and hope is something...

908
01:16:30,257 --> 01:16:32,968
that you have to build up within yourself.

909
01:16:36,054 --> 01:16:40,100
<i>London police today confiscated
a number of erotic lithographs...</i>

910
01:16:40,184 --> 01:16:43,520
<i>by pop musician and artist, John Lennon.</i>

911
01:16:43,562 --> 01:16:46,023
<i>A local district court will rule...</i>

912
01:16:46,064 --> 01:16:48,025
<i>as to whether the art is pornographic...</i>

913
01:16:48,066 --> 01:16:51,028
<i>and whether or not
it can displayed publicly.</i>

914
01:16:52,196 --> 01:16:55,240
<i>But even with drawings and things.
I have been talking to Yoko.</i>

915
01:16:55,324 --> 01:16:58,202
<i>And she convinced me that anything
I draw or write...</i>

916
01:16:58,285 --> 01:17:00,204
<i>is just as important communication-wise.</i>

917
01:17:00,245 --> 01:17:01,914
<i>I shouldn't just show it to friends.</i>

918
01:17:01,997 --> 01:17:03,749
<i>I should put everything out.</i>

919
01:17:46,750 --> 01:17:48,502
<i>While we were living in New York...</i>

920
01:17:48,585 --> 01:17:52,714
we started to see the resemblance
between New York and Liverpool.

921
01:17:53,590 --> 01:17:55,384
And the docks, the piers, you know.

922
01:17:56,218 --> 01:18:00,097
<i>I said, "This is like going
back to Liverpool. It's a big Liverpool. "</i>

923
01:18:01,056 --> 01:18:05,936
I've met a lot of New Yorkers who
complain about it, but nobody moves out.

924
01:18:06,311 --> 01:18:07,896
It's the greatest place on earth.

925
01:18:09,064 --> 01:18:12,317
<i>Documents released today reveal
that a massive FBI investigation...</i>

926
01:18:12,401 --> 01:18:14,153
<i>in the early 1970s...</i>

927
01:18:14,236 --> 01:18:16,905
<i>was part of a government effort
to deport John Lennon.</i>

928
01:18:18,115 --> 01:18:19,741
You don't think there's
any possibility that...

929
01:18:19,783 --> 01:18:21,702
the government is trying to harass
the Lennons?

930
01:18:21,785 --> 01:18:25,122
Absolutely not. This is the kind
of treatment we would dish out...

931
01:18:25,164 --> 01:18:28,584
to anybody convicted
of a narcotics offense.

932
01:18:28,792 --> 01:18:32,546
<i>When it first started,
I was followed in a car.</i>

933
01:18:33,213 --> 01:18:34,756
And my phone was tapped.

934
01:18:34,840 --> 01:18:37,676
And people thought I was crazy then.

935
01:18:37,759 --> 01:18:40,137
They do anyway, but I mean more so.

936
01:18:40,179 --> 01:18:44,308
"Lennon, you big-headed maniac,
who's going to follow you?

937
01:18:44,391 --> 01:18:45,559
"What do they want?"

938
01:18:45,642 --> 01:18:48,604
That's what I'm saying.
What do they want? I'm not going to...

939
01:18:48,645 --> 01:18:50,063
cause them any problem.

940
01:18:52,399 --> 01:18:55,652
<i>Everywhere John went, people asked him
that question...</i>

941
01:18:55,736 --> 01:18:58,280
<i>the one about the Beatles
getting back together.</i>

942
01:18:58,322 --> 01:19:00,449
<i>And even though we were friends...</i>

943
01:19:00,491 --> 01:19:04,995
<i>I was a reporter at that time
and the question was almost obligatory.</i>

944
01:19:05,662 --> 01:19:07,289
Will they ever team up again?

945
01:19:07,372 --> 01:19:12,169
It's quite possible, yes. I don't know
why the hell we'd do it, but it's possible.

946
01:19:12,336 --> 01:19:15,339
- Would you like that to happen?
- Lf it happens, I'll enjoy it.

947
01:19:15,380 --> 01:19:17,341
Would you want to initiate
that happening?

948
01:19:17,424 --> 01:19:20,219
I don't know, Elliot. 'Cause you know me.
I go on instinct.

949
01:19:20,302 --> 01:19:22,054
If the idea hit me tomorrow...

950
01:19:22,137 --> 01:19:25,098
I might call them and say,
"Come on, let's do something."

951
01:19:25,432 --> 01:19:28,685
I couldn't really tell you.
If it happens, it will happen.

952
01:19:28,727 --> 01:19:32,731
So, it is not something you'd totally
rule out as never taking place again?

953
01:19:32,815 --> 01:19:36,318
No. My memories are now
all fond and the wounds are healed.

954
01:19:37,069 --> 01:19:40,697
If we do it, we do it.
If we record, we record. I don't know.

955
01:19:40,864 --> 01:19:42,407
As long as we make music, you know.

956
01:19:43,617 --> 01:19:45,160
<i>Crowds have been gathering all day...</i>

957
01:19:45,244 --> 01:19:47,162
<i>in anticipation of
John Lennon's appearance...</i>

958
01:19:47,204 --> 01:19:48,997
<i>here tonight for a charity concert.</i>

959
01:19:49,039 --> 01:19:50,833
<i>John has rarely been seen onstage...</i>

960
01:19:50,874 --> 01:19:53,627
<i>since the Beatles'
final tour six years ago.</i>

961
01:19:54,711 --> 01:19:56,880
<i>Ladies and gentlemen, John Lennon!</i>

962
01:21:21,840 --> 01:21:24,134
<i>By then it was getting very obvious...</i>

963
01:21:24,176 --> 01:21:27,679
<i>that the world didn't want us to
really work together.</i>

964
01:21:28,639 --> 01:21:31,850
<i>So, it was 1973. I just felt like
saying to John:</i>

965
01:21:31,934 --> 01:21:34,812
<i>"Look, why don't you just go to L.A.
And have fun?</i>

966
01:21:34,853 --> 01:21:36,563
<i>"Leave me alone."</i>

967
01:21:36,647 --> 01:21:40,108
<i>I just wanted to think straight,
because I couldn't think straight anymore.</i>

968
01:21:40,651 --> 01:21:42,778
<i>She had literally said, "Get out."</i>

969
01:21:42,861 --> 01:21:46,031
<i>And I said, "Okay, I'm going."</i>

970
01:21:46,114 --> 01:21:49,409
<i>I had been married before Yoko,
and I immediately married Yoko...</i>

971
01:21:49,493 --> 01:21:52,371
<i>so I've never been a bachelor
since I was 20 or something.</i>

972
01:21:52,454 --> 01:21:55,040
<i>So I thought, "Woo-hoo!"</i>

973
01:21:55,749 --> 01:21:58,585
The lost weekend was a combination
of a remarkable party...

974
01:21:59,753 --> 01:22:03,507
an exercise into
the depths of foolishness...

975
01:22:04,007 --> 01:22:07,553
and, I think, John's last effort
to assert his manhood.

976
01:22:09,012 --> 01:22:11,431
I think it was his departure...

977
01:22:11,849 --> 01:22:13,976
from his innocence and from his youth...

978
01:22:14,434 --> 01:22:17,146
to becoming a man, to becoming serious...

979
01:22:17,187 --> 01:22:19,690
to wanting to be with Yoko,
to having a child.

980
01:22:19,773 --> 01:22:22,985
And this is...
Some people have bachelor parties.

981
01:22:23,527 --> 01:22:24,653
John had a lost weekend...

982
01:22:24,736 --> 01:22:27,489
that went on for 14 months
or however long it went on.

983
01:22:29,825 --> 01:22:32,828
<i>Clearly it was necessary for somebody
to be with John...</i>

984
01:22:33,036 --> 01:22:35,873
<i>and Miss Pang seemed like
a logical choice.</i>

985
01:22:35,914 --> 01:22:39,626
<i>Nothing gets done with John
unless there's somebody there.</i>

986
01:22:39,710 --> 01:22:42,588
<i>And Yoko suggested that she would
be the ideal companion...</i>

987
01:22:42,671 --> 01:22:44,673
<i>for John for this mission.</i>

988
01:22:45,799 --> 01:22:50,345
<i>That lost weekend that everybody
keeps talking about, it wasn't so lost.</i>

989
01:22:51,180 --> 01:22:55,184
People saw more of John
than they had in the previous years.

990
01:22:55,267 --> 01:22:56,727
And he was out and about a lot.

991
01:22:57,936 --> 01:23:01,231
He had recorded several albums...

992
01:23:01,607 --> 01:23:05,527
<i>starting with Mind Games
to Rock 'n'Roll to Walls and Bridges.</i>

993
01:23:05,903 --> 01:23:09,031
And he worked with Ringo on his album.

994
01:23:09,281 --> 01:23:10,866
There's also David Bowie...

995
01:23:10,949 --> 01:23:12,409
when they collaborated on...

996
01:23:12,493 --> 01:23:15,204
<i>David Bowie's first
number one hit song, Fame.</i>

997
01:23:15,579 --> 01:23:19,750
<i>And also Elton John, when we went
to Caribou. So there was a lot going on.</i>

998
01:23:19,833 --> 01:23:20,959
We had a lot of fun.

999
01:23:21,043 --> 01:23:24,254
There was Keith Moon, Harry, me,
Ringo all living together in the house.

1000
01:23:24,338 --> 01:23:28,300
We had some moments, folks.
But it got a little near the knuckle.

1001
01:23:28,967 --> 01:23:31,720
<i>I hit the bottle like I was 18 and 19...</i>

1002
01:23:31,762 --> 01:23:35,098
<i>and I was acting like
I was still at college.</i>

1003
01:23:35,849 --> 01:23:37,142
<i>The only terrible thing...</i>

1004
01:23:37,226 --> 01:23:40,896
<i>that I can say about John Lennon is
he was an absolutely miserable drunk.</i>

1005
01:23:40,938 --> 01:23:43,148
<i>He could not stop once he started.</i>

1006
01:23:43,232 --> 01:23:47,152
Two Brandy Alexanders, and he
was absolutely charming, delightful...

1007
01:23:47,236 --> 01:23:50,030
told the old stories, was witty and lovely.

1008
01:23:50,113 --> 01:23:51,824
By the third...

1009
01:23:52,950 --> 01:23:56,286
he started to snarl, and after that,
he was uncontrollable.

1010
01:23:57,496 --> 01:23:59,957
<i>It was the first night
I had drank Brandy Alexanders...</i>

1011
01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:01,583
<i>which is brandy and milk, folks.</i>

1012
01:24:01,667 --> 01:24:05,379
<i>And I was with Harry Nilsson, who didn't
quite get as much coverage as me.</i>

1013
01:24:05,462 --> 01:24:07,005
<i>They just sort of said, "Okay...</i>

1014
01:24:07,089 --> 01:24:08,841
<i>"you better leave, Mr. Lennon."
And then they took me out.</i>

1015
01:24:08,924 --> 01:24:11,802
It was a mistake but, hell, I'm human.

1016
01:24:11,885 --> 01:24:14,680
I was drunk in Liverpool and smashed
phone boxes...

1017
01:24:15,514 --> 01:24:17,474
it didn't get in the papers then.

1018
01:24:25,357 --> 01:24:27,025
Fred Astaire and Ginger Beer!

1019
01:24:29,903 --> 01:24:30,946
All right, dancing over with.

1020
01:24:31,029 --> 01:24:33,323
- We've done the dancing one.
- Let's make the commercial now.

1021
01:24:33,532 --> 01:24:37,244
I'm gonna impound all those photos
till I get my green card.

1022
01:24:37,327 --> 01:24:41,165
<i>I was out of control
and nobody was looking after me.</i>

1023
01:24:41,206 --> 01:24:43,125
<i>I needed somebody to love me.</i>

1024
01:24:43,167 --> 01:24:46,670
<i>There was nobody there to support me
and I fell apart.</i>

1025
01:26:37,948 --> 01:26:39,616
<i>The worst was
being separated from Yoko...</i>

1026
01:26:39,700 --> 01:26:43,537
<i>and realizing that I really,
really needed to be with her...</i>

1027
01:26:43,620 --> 01:26:44,746
<i>and wanted to be with her...</i>

1028
01:26:44,830 --> 01:26:47,875
<i>and could not, literally,
survive without her.</i>

1029
01:28:27,224 --> 01:28:29,268
<i>Sean was born on October the ninth...</i>

1030
01:28:29,351 --> 01:28:31,895
<i>which I was, so we're almost like twins.</i>

1031
01:28:31,979 --> 01:28:33,939
<i>It's a pleasure for me to hang
around the house.</i>

1032
01:28:34,022 --> 01:28:36,650
<i>I was always a homebody.
But I think a lot of musicians are.</i>

1033
01:28:37,943 --> 01:28:40,904
<i>I've been so locked
in the home environment...</i>

1034
01:28:40,988 --> 01:28:42,906
<i>and completely switched
my way of thinking...</i>

1035
01:28:42,990 --> 01:28:45,534
<i>that I didn't really
think about music at all.</i>

1036
01:28:45,576 --> 01:28:47,953
<i>My guitar was hung up
behind the bed, literally.</i>

1037
01:28:48,036 --> 01:28:51,415
<i>I don't think I took it down in five years.</i>

1038
01:30:16,041 --> 01:30:17,209
The fact that my father...

1039
01:30:18,502 --> 01:30:22,965
almost completely stopped
his musical career to raise me.

1040
01:30:23,507 --> 01:30:26,468
It makes me feel good. I know that.

1041
01:30:28,095 --> 01:30:30,347
He would play music around me.

1042
01:30:30,722 --> 01:30:33,892
I never really registered
that he was a Beatle...

1043
01:30:34,143 --> 01:30:37,563
<i>until I saw a movie
called Yellow Submarine.</i>

1044
01:30:38,689 --> 01:30:40,899
And I just put it together.

1045
01:30:41,191 --> 01:30:44,695
I would ask about it. He would say,
"Yeah, this is the Beatles.

1046
01:30:44,778 --> 01:30:47,447
"I was a Beatle, but that's over now."

1047
01:30:47,614 --> 01:30:51,660
"That's over now
and I'm spending time with you."

1048
01:30:53,537 --> 01:30:55,455
What's your favorite part of the circus?

1049
01:30:55,539 --> 01:30:57,875
I like the clowns and the little dogs.

1050
01:30:58,709 --> 01:31:01,253
Would you give it all up
to run away and join the circus?

1051
01:31:01,837 --> 01:31:05,257
I've already given it up, but I haven't
decided where to run, though.

1052
01:31:07,926 --> 01:31:09,178
Say hello.

1053
01:31:11,305 --> 01:31:13,849
Hello. We're having lunch
on Sunday, April the 12th.

1054
01:31:13,932 --> 01:31:18,228
Hello, we're having lunch on TV!

1055
01:31:18,520 --> 01:31:21,982
<i>I'd go through periods of panic
because I was not in the Billboard...</i>

1056
01:31:22,065 --> 01:31:26,195
<i>or being seen at Studio 54
with Mick and Bianca.</i>

1057
01:31:26,236 --> 01:31:29,656
<i>I didn't exist anymore.
And I realized there was a life without it.</i>

1058
01:31:29,865 --> 01:31:32,910
<i>I thought, "This reminds me of being 15."</i>

1059
01:31:32,993 --> 01:31:36,205
<i>"I didn't have to write songs at 15.
I wrote it if I wanted to. "</i>

1060
01:31:36,246 --> 01:31:39,541
<i>That's when I suddenly
could do it again with ease.</i>

1061
01:31:39,750 --> 01:31:43,754
<i>All the songs that are on Double Fantasy
all came within a period of three weeks.</i>

1062
01:32:18,622 --> 01:32:22,084
<i>When I was singing
and writing this and working with her...</i>

1063
01:32:22,125 --> 01:32:25,587
<i>I was visualizing
all the people of my age group.</i>

1064
01:32:26,255 --> 01:32:30,425
<i>I'm singing to them. I'm saying,
"Here I am now. How are you?</i>

1065
01:32:30,592 --> 01:32:32,052
<i>"How's your relationship going?</i>

1066
01:32:32,136 --> 01:32:33,595
<i>"Did you get through it all?</i>

1067
01:32:33,679 --> 01:32:35,639
<i>"Wasn't the '70s a drag?"</i>

1068
01:32:35,722 --> 01:32:38,267
<i>"Here we are. Let's try and make
the '80s good. "</i>

1069
01:32:40,102 --> 01:32:42,479
- John Lennon, can I have your autograph?
- Yeah.

1070
01:32:42,521 --> 01:32:44,648
I got to shake your hand, man!

1071
01:32:45,149 --> 01:32:47,860
What's up, man? I can't believe I met you.
I swear to God.

1072
01:32:47,943 --> 01:32:49,945
When are the Beatles
getting back together?

1073
01:32:49,987 --> 01:32:51,071
Tomorrow.

1074
01:32:51,155 --> 01:32:53,240
You're full of it.
When are you getting back together?

1075
01:32:53,323 --> 01:32:55,159
I love your album. I like your blue album.

1076
01:32:55,242 --> 01:32:57,911
- Hey, who's that guy?
- John Lennon, from the Beatles.

1077
01:32:57,995 --> 01:32:59,163
I can't believe it.

1078
01:33:01,165 --> 01:33:03,917
<i>It's not out of our control.
I still believe in love...</i>

1079
01:33:04,001 --> 01:33:06,462
<i>peace, I still believe
in positive thinking.</i>

1080
01:33:06,503 --> 01:33:08,422
<i>While there's life, there's hope.</i>

1081
01:33:08,505 --> 01:33:11,341
<i>Because I always considered
my work one piece...</i>

1082
01:33:11,383 --> 01:33:13,469
<i>and I consider that my work
won't be finished...</i>

1083
01:33:13,552 --> 01:33:16,096
<i>until I'm dead and buried.
I hope that's a long, long time.</i>

1084
01:33:21,852 --> 01:33:26,315
There was a lot of feeling of premonition,
when you look back at it now.

1085
01:33:26,356 --> 01:33:29,109
But I was very worried about him.

1086
01:33:30,402 --> 01:33:31,487
And...

1087
01:33:33,989 --> 01:33:35,866
in fact, I told John:

1088
01:33:36,408 --> 01:33:38,118
"It's getting very busy.

1089
01:33:38,202 --> 01:33:41,705
"And it's a strain on us.

1090
01:33:41,788 --> 01:33:44,875
"The schedule is a strain on us
and I think you need a rest.

1091
01:33:44,958 --> 01:33:48,837
"And you and Sean should
go back to Bermuda."

1092
01:33:49,046 --> 01:33:50,297
And...

1093
01:33:51,089 --> 01:33:52,966
he said, "Not this time.

1094
01:33:53,217 --> 01:33:56,428
"I'm going to be with you,
no matter what."

1095
01:33:57,554 --> 01:33:59,264
And...

1096
01:34:04,686 --> 01:34:06,063
that's how it was.

1097
01:34:35,592 --> 01:34:39,930
<i>John Lennon shot yesterday in front of
his New York apartment building...</i>

1098
01:34:39,972 --> 01:34:43,433
<i>Residents say a man in his late thirties
had been waiting for hours...</i>

1099
01:34:43,517 --> 01:34:47,020
<i>He died in the emergency room
at Roosevelt Hospital...</i>

1100
01:34:48,063 --> 01:34:52,484
<i>... once called the guiding spirit of
the Beatles, dead tonight at the age of 40.</i>

1101
01:36:48,559 --> 01:36:49,977
There was no...

1102
01:36:51,061 --> 01:36:53,188
there was no wall facing us anymore.

1103
01:36:53,272 --> 01:36:55,774
There was always something
in between us...

1104
01:36:56,483 --> 01:36:59,361
but it had been knocked down.

1105
01:36:59,403 --> 01:37:00,779
We could actually...

1106
01:37:00,863 --> 01:37:04,074
"Hi, Dad, I'd like to come see you.
Is that okay?" "Yeah."

1107
01:37:04,825 --> 01:37:07,870
It's hard to explain emotions...

1108
01:37:09,663 --> 01:37:11,373
in dealing with...

1109
01:37:12,291 --> 01:37:14,460
that situation especially...

1110
01:37:15,919 --> 01:37:18,881
especially when we were...

1111
01:37:19,756 --> 01:37:21,049
getting so close.

1112
01:37:23,635 --> 01:37:24,720
His music...

1113
01:37:26,930 --> 01:37:30,851
will live on forever in my heart
and in many people's hearts.

1114
01:37:31,810 --> 01:37:36,565
Because it was so vulnerable.
It showed such a vulnerable man...

1115
01:37:37,024 --> 01:37:40,861
who cared so much about people
and expressed himself so well.

1116
01:37:42,779 --> 01:37:44,656
The first few years after his death...

1117
01:37:44,740 --> 01:37:47,701
I would always cry
when I heard the music.

1118
01:37:47,993 --> 01:37:51,580
But now I got over it.

1119
01:37:51,788 --> 01:37:55,501
The thing I miss most about him
is just him being around...

1120
01:37:56,210 --> 01:37:59,880
taking me places, doing things with me,
talking with me.

1121
01:38:00,297 --> 01:38:04,426
He tried to show me how to play
the guitar once. It didn't really work out.

1122
01:38:06,303 --> 01:38:09,681
Just his presence was all I needed.

1123
01:38:12,142 --> 01:38:14,728
He was my husband, he was my lover.

1124
01:38:14,812 --> 01:38:17,189
He was my friend.

1125
01:38:17,272 --> 01:38:19,358
He was my partner.

1126
01:38:21,068 --> 01:38:22,486
And...

1127
01:38:24,154 --> 01:38:27,866
he was an old soldier that fought with me.

1128
01:45:58,817 --> 01:45:59,818
