i think a lot of people are still just PO'ed at Paul for taking up with the young modelly chick so soon after Linda died. i know that's my best friend's major issue with him (and she's been a die hard Beatles fan since we could talk, i know far more about the Beatles than i could ever hope to learn otherwise just from being around her for nearly two decades).
i hadn't heard about the movie, though. i'm intrigued.
I'm still, after all these years, mystefied as to why Mark Chapman would shoot John instead of Yoko. His motive doesn't add up; I mean . . . he could have shot Yoko.
John was out of his mind when he had Julian. And he regretted fucking up his relationship with him quite openly and quite often. He tried to make up for it by doing everything for Sean.
In the end, who cares what the balance of love given was? He's a person, and people try.
Now what I think he should really be on trial for here is not cutting Yoko's head off with a tire iron and blaming it on a home intruder.
The whole ten years John managed to stay alive after the beatles produced probably an album's worth of good songs. But who cares? I guess he had fun discovering new things, and his songs in the Beatles were fine, so who cares, really.
What boggles my mind is that in order to listen to some of it, you have to skip Yoko's tracks. That's something which truly is a post-Beatles turn-off.
Probably due to how things went in the end with Cynthia and him... tried to pull up a globe and mail article... but it's friggin locked up now. Grah.
Link is there if anyone has a proper login. Goes on how Cynthia found out about what was going on... ie, walking into her home, and finding John and Yoko all snuggly on the floor.
/shrugs/ always two sides to every story... but still I'm not all for John, or Paul.
