Did Paul McCartney die in a car crash on November 2nd, 1966? Visit Paul is Dead - The Conclusive Evidence (http://www.paulisdead.web.com), read the clues and decide for yourself.

[SleepyHead]

No, I honestly think the Beatles broke up the Beatles. Nine years or so of living in one another's pockets (for John and Paul), a tad less for George, and poor Ringo didn't get in until the dawn of tour, baby, tour!

They grew up, in other words, just as people do, y'know. And just like any other teenage/young adult relationship, when the bust-up came, there was a lot of anger involved, and blame assigned.

She was certainly a HUGE influence on John, but how long would the Beatles have lasted even if Yoko hadn't come along? Even without Yoko, it's hard to imagine the Beatles still together in 1980.

[Elementary Penguin]

I think Sleepyhead has it right. It can all be distilled down to: a few teenagers who knew each other and loved music formed a band. They pretty much lived together for the next 12 years. Their interests and outlooks changed much over those 12 years and there was much conflict, which was the main contributor to the breakup.

I do believe that there were other, minor, contributors to the breakup which include not only Yoko - but Linda, Brian's death, and the extreme difficulties of simply "being" a Beatle.

i agree with both sleepyhead and elementary. One person cannot break up something that didnt want to be broken up. John might have used Yoko as a way to finally leave the Beatles. Yoko has a bad rep, and ok, so she can be a bitch, but can't we all? She has done some good things to help keep Johns memory alive, and she inspired John in so many ways. She seems nice to me.

S.H. - As usual, you've covered all the bases. I have to confess, however, that when I saw the film LET IT BE, I was tempted to jump at the screen and pull Yoko out of there! She was quite the intruder.

[Paul_McCartney2002]

I think she played a big role in the whole thing, but she's not the only reson, it's just more fun to put the blam on her, stupid Yoko!

I don't think Yoko had anything to do with the Beatles break up. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and they needed someone to blame for their beloved boys from disbanding. And because Yoko was this "ugly" foreign lady, I think they decided to blame her and the fact she broke up Cyn and John.

[Paul_McCartney2002]

I don't think Yoko can sing at all, she yells really loud, that's it, she couldn't hit a note if she wanted to. What John saw in her I'll never know. I think she's ugly too, but that's just me

[beatlemethisbeatlemethat]

Not everyone is a supermodel and she isn't elephant man ugly. I don't judge anyone, because it isn't my place, especially when I don't know her personally. She was talented as an artist, but as a singer, well she's better than Britney Spears! http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif At least she doesn't lip sing. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/wink.gif

She's one crafty gal, alright! Of course, she stirs up different feelings in each of us, but, what do you all think about her "singing" efforts? Is there some hidden talent there that I can't hear? Inform me.

[jtal909]

Although the Beatles were in the last phases of their collective relationship, I wish Yoko was not there all the time to alter the dynamics of the four especially in the studio.

[SleepyHead]

I haven't heard a Yoko recording yet that has given me the urge to rush out for her autograph, if you know what I mean. I've seen some articles praising her "avant-garde" singing (?), but if that's what avant-garde is all about, I want no truck with it.

this/that: It's lip-sync, as in synchronize. Good, ol' Le-Mc was giving you his usual business! (I guess you can tell a new school term is about to begin, as I'm already back in my teaching mode!) As for all the other Yoko comments, I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't appreciate her vocal efforts. I will give her this, however, she's been looking very chic lately. She's aging well.

[Eppy]

Yoko was essential. that's all there is to it. w/out Yoko, John stays depressed & maybe kills himself. i actually think that she prolonged the time before the breakup. but either way, it was going to happen anyway, & it's no good blaming it on any one person. and as for her vocal talent, i actually enjoyed it. maybe that's because i enjoy a more culturally diverse spectrum of music. one last point: she was good for John, i'll find no arguments there, & John was the greatest genius of all time. so at least love her because she made John happy.

[beatlemethisbeatlemethat]

i'm sorry but no one can break up something that didn't want to be broken up. They used Yoko as an excuse to breakup. Maybe John did more than anyone else. When Brian died they started going their own ways, even before that. They were away from each other for a few months weren't they? and they came together to do Sgt Peppers. They all were growing older and when you grow up, you grow apart.

It's easy to say Yoko broke them up. She was there and caused some tension, and certainly distracted John from the Beatles. But as Beatlemethisthat said, they were headed down that road. One thing could not have possibly broken up the greatest band of all time.
But I still don't like the way she was imposed upon the group. I guess John had to make his private and Beatle lives one.

[st.paulygirl]

To tell you all the truth, I hardly ever gave Yoko much thought,as far as our heroes were cocerned.To me, she was quite boring.Her voice wasn't worth listening to for more than a couple seconds,singing or otherwise.She was very plain.Her philosophies were even boring,to me.I never fretted over John's attraction to her 'coz to me,HE was always kinda way out there himself.He and Paul were opposites who complicated eachother beautifully. I sat belonely by a tree, humble fat and small,a little lady sing to me,I couldn't see at all.........

I recently watched the Let It Be Outtakes (VHS)and towards the end the Beatles are letting Yoko sing (I use the term loosely).

[Original Fan]

Right again, jtal, we were NOT talking about Yoko's talent as an "artist," just her singing attempts!!!!

[PennyLane]

Have you ever heard 'Give Peace a Chance'? Yoko's voice really sounds good. It is a different voice, yes. But it is strong and she has a nice vibrato. Some attempts may not have been great, but I am giving her credit for trying (not many are brave enough) and I have decided to give her the benefit of the doubt. Haven't we all had a bad day?

[bearkat77]

The only time Yoko's voice is listenable, is when the song is written for her vocal range. Some people forget this little fact. Not everyone can sing the exact same way, so there are different styles of music in the world.
Take this as you will, but remember not to judge people, lest they judge you.

------------------
Bearkat77's Beatlemaniac Page (http://www9.50megs.com/bearkat77)

[PennyLane]

I have to disagree. Yoko does have a nice voice, and definitely has talent as an artist. And even if she did not have a good voice, that alone does not dictate whether you have talent in other fields of the arts. She was, and still is a talented artist, singer, and philosopher. To call Yoko 'boring' is just ignorant. She had a message and a very compelling look on life. Like her or not, you have to respect the fact that she is a different and intriguing person.

[Original Fan]

Well, my dear 'kat, I guess I've never heard Yoko sing anything that was written for her vocal range! Any further comments, jtal?

[jtal909]

All I was saying is what's up with the shrieking? I can appreciate a good rock and roll howl or scream or John's gutteral screaming on his 1st solo album for sure, but Yoko's shrieking does not have any key or tone.

[st.paulygirl]

What I said was she's boring "to me".Some people get turned on by Monet,some by Picasso.Some by Dylan,some by Kobain.It's all a matter of opinion, mine or yours.Boring and plain beats alot of other things I've heard about her.In my own way, I was kind of defending her as far as breaking up the Beatles was concerned.She was John's love, not mine.I just don't think her sentiments meant much to alot of people;her fifteen minutes of fame are up,as far as I'M CONCERNED.

[SleepyHead]

I would have to go further than that, OFan; I don't believe Yoko HAS a vocal range (for singing, that is). http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubb/smilies/images/icons/smile.gif

How cathartic it must have been for Yoko to do that.

[Tim]

Only four people broke up the Beatles-
John Lennon
Paul McCartney
George Harrison
Richard Starkey

What led to the split was the fact that they could not in the end agree on who would run the business end of things. Yoko had nothing to do with that.

If Brian had lived to keep things more organized and businesslike, would the Beatles have stayed together longer?


[This message has been edited by jtal909 (edited September 08, 2000 at 02:48 PM).]

[beatlemethisbeatlemethat]

jtal, I don't think so. They were going down after their last concert. Not as bad as the Breakup, but I think Brian would have kept them around a few more months, years. Who knows. I feel sorry for Yoko that she has to live with the "Yoko broke up the Beatles" status for the rest of her life. They all found better things in life than the Beatles.

Theres a big word!!

Personally speaking, I dont really get too hung up on whether Yoko's 'singing' or art actually do come into either category. It doesn't appeal to me, and that's the most important thing to me, but it obviously appealed to John, and that's OK. I think Yoko used that fact to her own ends, and so what if she did? John loved her, she made him very happy and very miserable, and thats how all decent love affairs should be! So maybe Yoko should be given credit for what she achieved, but we dont have to like it, and I dont. There!

Yoko's and Linda's role in the break-up are minimal. What broke it was being unable after Brian died to come to a suitable business arrangement.

Hey guys, This was posted at Abbeyrds News. I'm glad someone finally says something nice about her. It's about time.

Traveling Yoko art retrospective to open in New York Update (9/26/00) From Terry Ott (thanks, Terry!):

"For all of the bashing that Yoko Ono takes-mostly from people who have never spoke to her, let alone met her-I think I can safely say that is she that is keeping the Beatles legacy alive. Recent scandal books about she and John, which purport to chronicle the couple's unusual lifestyle, come off as nothing more than juicy gossip. And is it really surprising that a John and Yoko may just have some idiosyncrasies that would titillate the world? As John once noted, much more dough was made by those using the Beatles, than the other way around. Unlike the other surviving Beatles, Ms. Ono spends a great deal of her time being a lightening rod for the group. Whatever she touches always seems to bring about the inevitable question of "why," and then the acceptance that her tending of the times and the music are essential to the survival of "Beatlemania." Frankly, when I interviewed her for two stories for the National Post, I didn't know what to expect. Therefore, I wasn't really surprised when she turned out to be engaging and friendly, if not a tadd too quiet. And people really want to know what this gal is thinking. People I know who rarely ask me about interview subjects all wanted to know "what Yoko is like." While I still have no idea what she is "really like," -10 minutes on the phone is hardly sufficient- I can say that after all the things she's been through, she still cares. And you can do a heck of lot worse than that in the rock world."

I am in total agreement with This/that. It is one thing to fully evaluate somebody and then give an educated opinion, but quite another to shoot out irrelevant and cruel insults regarding one's looks.

[jtal909]

This is true. Her off the wall screaming doesn't bother me really (I was just having a little fun at her expense earlier in this post)as I ignore it. The only thing I hold against her is that she had to be in the recording studio with the Beatles and alter their dynamics.

There's an old saying: You can't judge a book by its cover. People that have never spoken and/or met her should not critize. Let's move on to newer topics, please.

Alright, I can sense here that not many people here likes Yoko, but when it boils down, John loved Yoko, and saw her inner beauty. If you truly love John, and follow his beliefs, couldn't you do the same thing?

I didn't mean love her in a physical sence. More a friendly love. It's better than to just trash her.

It is not our place to judge whether she is worthy of John or not. Celebrities have so much of their lives controlled by the press and public, relationships shouldn't be in that category.

[bearkat77]

Yes, a private relationship should be just that, PRIVATE!

True. I personally try to stay away from gossip. Thats why you will find me mostly in and your bird can sing. I am here because I love the Beatles music. To me its all about the music. http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.beatlelinks.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I can't believe it either -- and I can't believe that someone dredged up a four year old topic about it, frankly, though to be fair it was a new person who may not have looked at when the last post was made before hers.

I see no reason for further discussion...so I am going to close this. We have had (and continue to have) MANY discussions of Yoko around here, we don't need to continue this one.
