{381}{456}{y:i}I always was a rebel.|But, on the other hand, I want...
{457}{530}{y:i}to be loved and accepted|by all facets of society...
{532}{671}{y:i}and not be this loudmouth,|lunatic poet-musician.
{705}{740}{y:i}But I cannot be what I'm not.
{3513}{3578}- Good morning.|- Good morning.
{3622}{3722}{y:i}People say, "Why are you recording|your life like a diary?"
{3724}{3841}{y:i}The thing is that, as a Beatle,|every song and every album...
{3842}{3987}{y:i}and every record and every film|was a diary of who we were at the time.
{3989}{4078}{y:i}But we were in the dark|about it till later.
{4081}{4126}{y:i}So when I got with Yoko...
{4128}{4262}{y:i}we were able to turn a light on|in the middle of the creation of it.
{4275}{4373}The back is going to be eyes|with two sunsets in it.
{4376}{4427}Freaky, isn't it?
{4430}{4491}{y:i}What's the tune of lmagine?
{4492}{4552}It just goes, "Imagine there's no heaven...
{4577}{4686}"it's easy if you try. No hell below us.
{4714}{4792}"Only sky. Imagine all the people.
{4795}{4886}"Living for today." Whatever.
{4888}{4951}You'll hear the record.
{4962}{5102}{y:i}When I think of Ascot,|I think of making Imagine...
{5113}{5224}{y:i}and also just being together,|strolling around in the gardens.
{5227}{5336}{y:i}And it was a very intense|and beautiful time for us.
{5547}{5631}{y:i}- I should do How? First.|- All right. Set up How?
{5656}{5759}{y:i}We built a studio|connected to the house...
{5767}{5846}{y:i}and we recorded some songs there, too.
{8381}{8416}I was raised by my auntie.
{8418}{8492}My father and my mother|split when I was about 4.
{8494}{8586}I had spent some time|with my mother up till about 4.
{8588}{8646}{y:i}Then my father split.|He was a merchant seaman.
{8647}{8756}{y:i}You can imagine,|it was the 1940s, in the war and all that.
{8757}{8866}{y:i}And he left,|and I was brought up by an auntie.
{8876}{8988}{y:i}I had to be solid|because I had a boy to bring up.
{8998}{9134}{y:i}It was my job to be there.|He never came into an empty house.
{9150}{9261}What he could not make out|was how I knew...
{9263}{9298}when he was up to something.
{9352}{9447}{y:i}He was inventive|and was always the leader.
{9450}{9531}{y:i}Every time he sat down,|he never wasted a minute.
{9532}{9641}{y:i}And it was always either drawing|or writing poetry...
{9643}{9716}{y:i}or reading. He was a great reader.
{9723}{9808}{y:i}And he sang himself to sleep every night.
{9817}{9862}And then when I was 16...
{9863}{9952}I re-established a relationship|with my mother for about four years.
{9955}{10046}She taught me music.|She first of all taught me the banjo...
{10047}{10096}and, from that, I progressed to guitar.
{10098}{10197}{y:i}And then, unfortunately, she was run over|by an off-duty policeman...
{10200}{10252}{y:i}who was drunk at the time.
{10372}{10507}{y:i}I lost her twice. Once as a 5-year-old|when I was moved in with my auntie...
{10509}{10601}{y:i}and once again when I was|re-establishing a relationship with her.
{10603}{10667}{y:i}That was really a hard time for me...
{10670}{10765}{y:i}and it just absolutely made me|very, very bitter.
{10767}{10896}{y:i}The underlying chip on my shoulder|I had as a youth was really big then.
{10897}{10961}{y:i}It was very traumatic for me.
{14303}{14416}{y:i}I had no idea about doing music|as a way of life...
{14417}{14466}{y:i}until the rock 'n'roll hit me.
{14467}{14557}{y:i}Then when rock 'n'roll hit me|that changed my whole life.
{14564}{14610}You know,|you went to see those movies...
{14612}{14702}with Elvis or somebody in it,|when we were still in Liverpool.
{14705}{14808}And you'd see everybody waiting|to see him. And I'd be waiting there, too.
{14811}{14891}And they'd all scream|when he came on the screen.
{14893}{14957}So I thought, "That's a good job."
{15019}{15081}He was rough, ready...
{15082}{15188}and not my type at all. To start off with.
{15231}{15318}But again, this enigmatic character...
{15333}{15381}you couldn't resist.
{15422}{15542}He was like a Teddy boy.|He walked around without his glasses...
{15549}{15616}a guitar over his shoulder...
{15622}{15706}and a look that said, "Kill."
{15822}{15955}{y:i}Paul met me the first day I did|Be Bop a Lula live onstage.
{15957}{16089}{y:i}A mutual friend brought him to see|my group, called The Quarry Men.
{16111}{16175}{y:i}And we met and we talked after the show.
{16177}{16266}{y:i}And I saw he had talent.|He was playing guitar backstage...
{16268}{16332}{y:i}doing Twenty-Flight Rock,|by Eddie Cochran.
{16334}{16410}{y:i}And I turned around to him right|then on first meeting and said:
{16412}{16531}{y:i}"Do you want to join the group?"|And I think he said "yes" the next day.
{16541}{16598}{y:i}Now George came through Paul...
{16604}{16715}{y:i}but the person I actually picked|as my partner was Paul.
{16901}{16987}{y:i}Hamburg? That city of sin?
{16988}{17062}{y:i}No, certainly not. You can't go there.
{17065}{17211}{y:i}He said, "Oh, come on, Mimi.|We'll get 100 pounds a week. "
{17212}{17289}{y:i}So in the end, he went.
{17358}{17455}{y:i}I can remember the time|when one drunken Kraut...
{17457}{17533}tried to get onstage|and John Lennon was eating onstage...
{17573}{17634}and he threw his knife at him.
{17637}{17722}And then, not deterring the fellow...
{17724}{17821}he promptly kicked him in the face|to boot him off the stage.
{17822}{17912}{y:i}And so you had this town|full of gangsters...
{17915}{17968}{y:i}who used to love the Beatles...
{17971}{18054}{y:i}and used to send them|crates of ale onstage.
{18057}{18163}{y:i}And they'd be legless.|Absolutely legless onstage.
{18376}{18492}{y:i}Everywhere they played,|they would finish up in a fight.
{18493}{18589}{y:i}In actual fact,|one place that I sent them to play...
{18592}{18678}{y:i}they used to have to hide|behind the piano...
{18681}{18785}{y:i}because the popular thing was|to throw the chairs at the group.
{18906}{18993}Then we went back to Liverpool,|and there were quite a few bookings.
{18996}{19056}You know, they all thought|we were German.
{19060}{19162}Anyway, Bill was from Hamburg, and|they all said, "You speak good English."
{19297}{19398}{y:i}I was told that he was playing|in a place called The Cavern.
{19401}{19447}{y:i}It was an old wine cellar...
{19450}{19552}{y:i}that had been turned|into a sort of lunch club.
{19866}{19937}{y:i}It was Brian that went there.
{19938}{20018}{y:i}And he was only at the back of the hall...
{20021}{20142}{y:i}listening to those four boys,|but whatever he saw...
{20147}{20207}{y:i}he saw that little spark.
{20216}{20304}{y:i}And he went right around|and offered himself as their manager.
{20307}{20403}I was immediately struck|by their music, their beat...
{20440}{20523}and their sense of humor,|actually, onstage.
{20526}{20581}And even afterwards, when I met them...
{20582}{20654}I was struck again|by their personal charm.
{20672}{20783}And it was there that,|really, it all started.
{20786}{20839}It took about eight months to...
{20857}{20929}get to the stage|where we had a recording contract...
{20932}{21052}and we were having|the first record issued.
{21054}{21095}{y:i}That was Love Me Do.
{21763}{21826}I think it was a very fortunate|coming together...
{21862}{21911}that we seemed to hit it off very well.
{21912}{22036}When we were in the studio,|we did really collaborate as a team.
{22038}{22131}There weren't any egos|protruding through.
{22176}{22256}But I was very, very lucky|to have met up with them.
{22302}{22371}{y:i}George had done no rock 'n'roll|when we met him...
{22373}{22473}{y:i}and we'd never been in the studio,|so we did a lot of learning together.
{22478}{22626}{y:i}He had a very great|musical knowledge and background.
{22652}{22756}{y:i}So he could translate for us|and suggest a lot of things. Which he did.
{22757}{22832}{y:i}And he'd come up with|amazing technical things.
{22877}{23018}{y:i}When the Beatles were depressed,|thinking the group was going nowhere...
{23021}{23102}{y:i}and this is a shitty deal,|and we're in a shitty dressing room...
{23105}{23152}{y:i}I'd say, "Where are we going, fellas?"
{23154}{23221}{y:i}And they'd go, "To the top, Johnny!"
{23223}{23267}{y:i}And I'd say, "Where's that, fellas?"
{23269}{23338}{y:i}And they'd say,|"To the toppermost of the poppermost!"
{23341}{23445}{y:i}And I'd say, "Right!"|Then we'd all sort of cheer up.
{23517}{23558}{y:i}When I was a Beatle...
{23561}{23656}{y:i}I thought, "We're the best fucking group|in the goddamn world. "
{23658}{23727}{y:i}And believing that|is what made us what we were.
{23729}{23811}{y:i}It was just a matter of time|before everybody else caught on.
{23983}{24013}Thank you.
{24048}{24147}For our last number,|I'd like to ask your help.
{24171}{24257}For the people in the cheaper seats,|clap your hands.
{24303}{24373}And the rest of you,|if you'd just rattle your jewelry.
{24558}{24635}{y:i}We'd like to sing a song called,|Twist and Shout.
{28082}{28163}{y:i}Maybe we should just go on|and do lmagine, then.
{28166}{28215}What's this one, a ballad?
{28217}{28281}Yeah, go on. I'll teach you it.
{28312}{28377}{y:i}Imagine was one facet of him.
{28379}{28457}{y:i}It crystallized his dream for the world.
{28460}{28532}{y:i}It crystallized his idealism.
{28534}{28661}{y:i}And it was something|that he wanted to really say to the world.
{30940}{30983}That's a nice one.
{30986}{31026}Yeah.
{31028}{31107}- That's the one I like best...|- What if there's another piano?
{31109}{31236}Because if we get the same kind of piano,|and do an octave higher or something...
{31238}{31302}- it would be beautiful.|- We can always use this...
{31305}{31384}Instead of the electric guitar.|It's a delicate song.
{31387}{31469}He could do it on the top half|of the piano, maybe.
{31476}{31541}We could get a mike|through to the front...
{31543}{31576}That's it.
{31577}{31618}- The white piano?|- Yeah.
{31621}{31716}I'll go on the white one 'cause|that's what I wanted to do, use that one.
{31717}{31747}- Yeah.|- Yeah.
{31766}{31831}Because we want to do the house.
{31832}{31912}{y:i}When Dad moved to Tittenhurst...
{31914}{32032}{y:i}it was the first time that he actually|called me in quite a long time.
{32060}{32132}It was an exciting thing for me to go|and see him again...
{32134}{32183}after not seeing him for such a while.
{32217}{32343}And at the time, I was living in...
{32368}{32496}I won't say a small house, but it|was a completely different situation.
{32498}{32591}It was on a street|with lots of houses, lots of friends.
{32597}{32676}And Tittenhurst was this enormous...
{32688}{32801}palace-like place with 99 acres...
{32826}{32966}golf-cart buggies, a lake, a little island|in the middle of the lake...
{33057}{33121}It was like a house of fun.
{33128}{33217}It was a completely different experience.
{33222}{33286}It was wonderful. I loved the place.
{33316}{33388}{y:i}I don't remember seeing him as a child.
{33391}{33487}{y:i}It was the height of the Beatle thing|so I was working all the time.
{33489}{33576}{y:i}I never considered what it was|doing to him. I didn't even count it.
{33577}{33646}{y:i}The mother was at home. I was away.
{33648}{33793}{y:i}Like most guys at 24 or 25, they're too|intent on their career really, you know.
{33807}{33931}{y:i}John, as a father, was forced,|I'm afraid, to be a part-time dad.
{33936}{33986}He wrote to me saying that...
{33987}{34116}"I'm so sad and I'm so sorry|that I've missed the fact...
{34118}{34179}"that Julian has been growing up...
{34182}{34273}"that he is now a little man|and I miss him dreadfully.
{34276}{34317}"And I've been a right bastard...
{34319}{34391}"because I've taken no notice of him...
{34392}{34465}"and I've read the papers|and pushed him out of the room...
{34467}{34520}"because he's been making noises."
{34522}{34621}That was the point when he suddenly|realized that he was a father...
{34623}{34731}Julian was a special little person...
{34732}{34866}not just a figment of his imagination|when he came home in the early days.
{34882}{34957}You're going over to the States|early in the new year...
{34959}{35062}and you're going to top the bill|on the Ed Sullivan coast-to-coast show.
{35065}{35134}John, so far, all|British pop stars have not
{35136}{35197}made a tremendous|impact on the States.
{35198}{35243}How do you think you're gonna fare?
{35246}{35377}Well, I can't really say, can I?|I mean, is it up to me? No.
{35379}{35437}I mean, I just hope we go all right.
{35438}{35518}Are you going to vary your act at all|for the American audience?
{35521}{35618}No. We haven't really got an act,|so we'll just do what we do.
{35832}{35977}{y:i}The journey to America was exciting|but I had to keep a low profile...
{35979}{36041}{y:i}because it wouldn't|do for the frenzied fans...
{36042}{36156}{y:i}to know that John had a wife|and a baby at home.
{36636}{36677}What do you think of the comment...
{36680}{36751}that you're nothing but a bunch|of British Elvis Presleys?
{36753}{36805}It's not true!
{36897}{36957}Are you going to get a haircut|while you're here?
{36958}{37032}- No, thanks.|- I had one yesterday.
{37097}{37171}- That's no lie. It's true.|- It's true.
{37187}{37226}You know, I think he missed some.
{37228}{37332}- No, he didn't.|- You should have seen him the day before.
{37401}{37466}What do you think|your music does to these people?
{37537}{37620}It pleases them, I think.|It must do, 'cause they're buying it.
{37622}{37701}- Why does it excite them so much?|- We don't know, really.
{37703}{37779}If we knew, we'd form another group|and be managers.
{38037}{38131}We came here at 6:00|in the morning, 5:30, to see them.
{38132}{38210}And all they did was push us|farther and farther away.
{38212}{38266}Then they don't even let you see them.
{38268}{38379}I got every Beatle record at home|and we didn't get to see them.
{38382}{38522}What kind of police protection?|I'd really like to get a piece of them...
{40662}{40714}{y:i}It was like being in|the eye of a hurricane.
{40717}{40795}{y:i}You thought, "What's going on?"|And, "How did I get here?"
{40797}{40912}{y:i}The last thing I remember was playing|music in a club, and the next minute, this.
{41053}{41163}Did you ever have a chance, John,|to just get away, on your own...
{41166}{41210}without anybody recognizing you?
{41212}{41286}We borrowed a couple|of millionaires' houses.
{41326}{41354}Sure we did.
{41357}{41450}You could afford to buy a couple|of millionaires' houses, couldn't you?
{41466}{41516}We'd sooner borrow them. It's cheaper.
{41518}{41622}We did a bit of water skiing.|Well, sort of, anyway.
{41640}{41684}Did your wife enjoy it over there?
{41698}{41769}She loved it. Who? Who?
{41786}{41847}Don't tell them he's married.|It's a secret.
{41850}{41901}I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
{41967}{42036}{y:i}There was no sort of particular security...
{42038}{42157}{y:i}and one of our assistants told us|that there was this strange guy...
{42159}{42287}{y:i}that was just staying in our gardens|almost every night.
{42312}{42441}{y:i}John always felt responsible|for these people...
{42452}{42536}{y:i}because they were the result of his songs.
{42537}{42586}{y:i}That's how he felt.
{42587}{42665}Don't confuse the songs|with your own life.
{42701}{42819}I mean, they might have relevance|to your own life, but a lot of things do.
{42838}{42939}So we met, you know. I'm just a guy.|I write songs.
{42976}{43119}I figured that if we met.|I'd know, just by meeting you.
{43158}{43211}Know what?
{43212}{43256}That it all fits.
{43257}{43350}Anything fits,|if you're tripping off on some trip.
{43352}{43406}Anything fits, you know.
{43412}{43457}Like when you said:
{43458}{43566}"Boy, you're going to carry that weight|for a long time." That was just...
{43567}{43618}- That's Paul who sang that.|- Paul sang that?
{43621}{43706}But that belongs to all of us.|He's singing about all of us.
{43708}{43743}Remember that one:
{43746}{43839}"You can radiate everything you are.|You can penetrate anywhere you go?"
{43842}{43982}Yeah, I was just having fun with words.|It was literally a nonsense song.
{44026}{44101}I mean, Dylan does that.|Anybody does that, you know.
{44139}{44246}You just take words,|and you stick them together...
{44248}{44347}and see if they have any meaning.|Some of them do, some of them don't.
{44349}{44448}See, that last album of mine|was me coming out of my dream.
{44451}{44542}You can last your whole life|on that dream, you know...
{44545}{44586}and then it's all over.
{44587}{44683}You weren't thinking of anyone in|particular when you were singing all that?
{44686}{44757}How could I be?|How could I be thinking of you?
{44772}{44871}I don't know, maybe, I don't care, me.|But it's just all... It's all somebody.
{44872}{44987}I'm thinking about me|or, at best, Yoko, if it's a love song.
{44989}{45109}I'm saying, "I had a good shit today|and this is what I thought this morning...
{45167}{45226}"and I love you Yoko," or whatever.
{45227}{45272}I'm singing about me and my life...
{45275}{45393}and if it's relevant|for other people's lives, that's all right.
{45406}{45447}You hungry?
{45492}{45524}Yeah.
{45527}{45583}Let's get him something to drink.
{49848}{49886}Finally, I've got it.
{50017}{50101}It's great working with you, Phil.|Really great.
{50128}{50192}I've worked with|a lot of cats in my time...
{50195}{50293}and I want to say, really great.|Sincerely, really great.
{50422}{50516}{y:i}Don't you think the Beatles gave|every sodden thing they've got...
{50518}{50562}{y:i}to be the Beatles?
{50564}{50654}{y:i}That took a whole section of our youth,|that whole period.
{50657}{50707}{y:i}When everybody else|was just goofing off...
{50746}{50808}{y:i}we were working 24 hours a day.
{51036}{51141}{y:i}The whole Beatle thing was just|beyond comprehension.
{51143}{51218}{y:i}And I was eating and drinking like a pig...
{51221}{51307}{y:i}and subconsciously was crying for help.
{52971}{53081}{y:i}Shea Stadium was a happening.|You couldn't hear any music at all.
{53082}{53201}{y:i}But then it just became|like lip-syncing, miming.
{53212}{53313}{y:i}Sometimes things would break down|and nobody'd know.
{53461}{53565}Last month, 75 teenagers|from Pennsylvania...
{53567}{53664}petitioned Her Majesty, the Queen,|to have the Beatles knighted.
{53667}{53701}Well, this hasn't happened.
{53702}{53792}But today, I'm pleased to say|that they have been made members...
{53795}{53873}of the most honorable|Order of the British Empire.
{53876}{53976}Congratulations, John, George,|Ringo, and Paul.
{53977}{54032}How did you all react to this?
{54037}{54076}Well, I went...
{54108}{54165}Which means in sound?
{54167}{54201}Whoopee.
{54259}{54348}You all live in, well, good|domestic splendor.
{54352}{54431}Has this affected your writing,|Paul and John?
{54432}{54516}No, it's easier to write with cushions,|I'm sure...
{54539}{54615}than on pieces of hard bench.
{54617}{54717}But you know we were on hard benches|before we met...
{54719}{54857}a known terror of Liverpool.|It's much easier on a nice cushion.
{54859}{54951}{y:i}From obscurity in a cellar|in Liverpool four years ago...
{54953}{55003}{y:i}and now to Buckingham Palace.
{55006}{55041}We're all delighted.
{55043}{55134}- Thank you very much.|- Congratulations.
{55229}{55367}{y:i}The Beatles arrived in Japan today,|as their tour of the Far East continues.
{55369}{55496}{y:i}Across the Pacific, in the United States,|a furor is developing over comments...
{55498}{55595}{y:i}John Lennon made: "Christianity will go.
{55603}{55741}{y:i}"It will vanish and shrink.|We are more popular than Jesus. "
{55782}{55881}{y:i}Here in Tokyo, violence broke out|when right-wing fanatics...
{55882}{55996}{y:i}demonstrated against the Beatles|and their effect on Japanese youth.
{56076}{56127}This is Tommy Charles.
{56129}{56231}If you, as an American teenager,|are offended by statements...
{56233}{56295}{y:i}from a group of foreign singers,|which strike...
{56329}{56438}{y:i}at the very basis of our existence|as God-fearing, patriotic citizens...
{56441}{56496}{y:i}then we urge you to take|your Beatles records...
{56498}{56613}{y:i}pictures and souvenirs|to the pick-up points about to be named.
{56616}{56719}{y:i}And on the night of the Beatles'|appearance in Memphis, August 19...
{56722}{56807}{y:i}they will be destroyed|in a huge public bonfire...
{56809}{56934}{y:i}at a place to be named soon. Stay tuned|to Rocky for further developments.
{56957}{56997}Now this religious controversy...
{56999}{57065}I know that you don't want|to say too much about it...
{57067}{57142}does it worry you it's gonna|boil up when you get to the States?
{57144}{57286}It worries me, yes, but I hope everything|will be all right in the end, as they say.
{57306}{57387}I think the Beatles|are a real talented group...
{57389}{57460}but I think they need to watch|what they say because...
{57462}{57552}they're in such a position|that a lot of teenagers...
{57555}{57629}really think of them|as something really big.
{57632}{57681}When they say things like that...
{57683}{57770}some teenagers are gonna just believe|anything they say.
{57772}{57856}I'm not saying that we're better|or greater...
{57858}{57947}or comparing us with Jesus Christ|as a person...
{57950}{58018}or God as a thing, or whatever it is.
{58021}{58164}I just said what I said, and it was wrong,|or was taken wrong. And now it's all this.
{58167}{58270}Did you mean that the Beatles|are more popular than Christ?
{58272}{58374}When I was talking about him, it was very|close and intimate with this person...
{58377}{58439}that I know, who happens to be a reporter.
{58442}{58581}And I was using expressions on things|that I'd just read, and derived...
{58582}{58701}about Christianity, only I was saying it|in the simplest form that I know...
{58702}{58756}which is the natural way I talk.
{58758}{58876}What's the most enjoyable thing|for you four about this adulation...
{58877}{58966}this almost godhood on earth|that you've achieved?
{58978}{59021}Don't say that.
{59057}{59143}- It was him. He said it.|- You all saw that.
{59181}{59251}The Ku Klux Klan,|being a religious order...
{59287}{59394}is going to come out here the night|that they appear at the Coliseum here.
{59397}{59451}And we're gonna demonstrate with...
{59507}{59623}different ways, tactics,|to stop this performance.
{59626}{59720}We are known as a terror organization|and I think we have...
{59722}{59754}A terror organization?
{59757}{59852}We have ways and means to stop this,|if this is going to be the case.
{59854}{59909}What ways and means?
{59912}{60001}I don't want to say this,|but there will be a lot of surprises...
{60003}{60088}Monday night, I believe,|when they get here.
{60091}{60165}You officers that are stationed...
{60173}{60278}in front of the stage,|behind the barricade...
{60294}{60411}you will go to Mr. Morris Shapiro,|the first-aid man...
{60427}{60511}and he will furnish you with earplugs...
{60552}{60643}so as to keep you from having a headache.
{60677}{60777}If he runs out of earplugs,|he has got some cotton.
{60797}{60874}- Is that understood?|- Yes, sir.
{60951}{61036}{y:i}The music wasn't being heard.|It was just...
{61049}{61092}{y:i}a sort of freak show.
{61095}{61183}{y:i}The Beatles were the show,|and the music had nothing to do with it.
{61186}{61261}{y:i}The only reason to be a Beatle|was to make music...
{61263}{61347}{y:i}and not just to, sort of, be in a circus.
{61781}{61836}{y:i}After the Beatles'last tour...
{61837}{61921}{y:i}which was the one|where the Ku Klux Klan were burning...
{61923}{62036}{y:i}Beatle records, and I was held up|as a Satanist or something...
{62051}{62132}{y:i}then we decided, no more touring.|That's enough of that.
{62134}{62200}{y:i}But I was really too|scared to walk away.
{62202}{62272}{y:i}I was thinking, this|is like the end, really.
{62275}{62346}{y:i}There's no more touring.|That's when I started considering:
{62347}{62410}{y:i}"What the hell do you do all day?"
{62445}{62481}{y:i}So I said yes to Dick Lester...
{62483}{62606}{y:i}that I would make this movie with him|and went to Altamira, Spain for six weeks.
{62727}{62766}{y:i}At a studio in London...
{62767}{62852}{y:i}the Beatles have just come together|for the first time in four months...
{62854}{62884}{y:i}to record some songs.
{62922}{63021}The songwriting team, they will keep|going on, whatever happens, will it?
{63022}{63136}Yeah, we'll probably carry on|writing music forever...
{63137}{63241}whatever else we're doing,|'cause you just can't stop.
{63242}{63326}You find yourself doing it|whether you want to or not.
{63328}{63436}Do you think the tours, like|the American tours and the English one...
{63438}{63471}It stands in England?
{63473}{63590}There must be a point|where they don't work anymore...
{63592}{63650}because they're not to do|with what we're doing...
{63652}{63731}record-wise or film-wise.
{63732}{63833}{y:i}Before we did Sergeant Pepper, we were|given a license to kill, so to speak...
{63836}{63887}{y:i}because we were already successful.
{63922}{63988}And I knew that I could do in the studio|just what I wanted.
{63991}{64071}And I knew that they wanted|to experiment a bit more.
{64073}{64188}So we just let our hair down|and went for broke.
{64191}{64296}{y:i}In fact, when I say Pepper, I mean|I'm starting off with Strawberry Fields...
{64298}{64387}{y:i}which was the beginning ofPepper,|although it wasn't on the album.
{64388}{64457}{y:i}That was one of the great songs he did.
{66783}{66895}{y:i}I really wasn't aware of their taking drugs|much before that.
{66918}{66998}{y:i}I was aware of them smoking pot.
{67010}{67078}{y:i}And even during|the Sergeant Pepper bit...
{67081}{67174}{y:i}I wasn't too sure about|what they were doing.
{67177}{67248}I didn't really want to know,|'cause I didn't approve of it.
{67251}{67391}And they were rather like school kids.|They used to keep it away from me.
{67392}{67478}If they wanted to go|and have a drag of a smoke...
{67481}{67542}they wouldn't do it in the studio.
{67544}{67646}They would nip into the canteen|and lock the door...
{67648}{67718}like naughty boys in the lavatory.
{67721}{67806}They would go away and hide,|away from the schoolmaster.
{67970}{68066}{y:i}Surrealism had a great effect on me|'cause then I realized that...
{68067}{68167}{y:i}my imagery in my mind wasn't insanity.
{68169}{68261}{y:i}Psychedelic vision is reality to me.
{70528}{70648}Some newspaperman came up|and he said, "Have you had LSD?"
{70651}{70777}So I thought,|"I'll either be cagey here or be honest."
{70783}{70823}So I said, "Yes."
{70826}{70906}And it was his responsibility,|reporting it.
{70908}{70978}So they had him on TV saying,|"Why did you say this?"
{70989}{71027}Very much like that statement...
{71030}{71116}They kept asking him, "Did you take it?"|So he says, "Yeah."
{71117}{71199}But on TV, he says,|"You don't print this bit of film.
{71202}{71266}"I don't want to tell anybody about that.|It's private"...
{71268}{71330}Almost like the situation|with the Christ statement.
{71332}{71427}But see, they just asked|me a question. I gave them an answer.
{71430}{71483}And then it was blown up.
{71488}{71627}I mean, you know, I just spoke the truth|and it's sometimes painful.
{71660}{71741}This is the truth.|My son came home with a drawing...
{71743}{71853}and showed me|this strange-Iooking woman flying around.
{71857}{71942}I said, "What is it?" He said,|"It's Lucy in the sky with diamonds."
{71945}{72033}I thought, "That's beautiful."|I immediately wrote a song about it.
{72036}{72115}The song had gone out,|the whole album had been published...
{72117}{72241}when somebody noticed|that the letters spelled out "LSD."
{72243}{72286}And I had no idea about it.
{72288}{72342}And, of course,|after that I was checking...
{72344}{72413}all the songs to see|what the letters spelled out.
{72416}{72481}They didn't spell out anything.|None of the others.
{72482}{72545}It wasn't about that at all, you know.
{74024}{74118}{y:i}The terrible news came|that Brian had died.
{74121}{74195}{y:i}Apparently, he'd taken an overdose.
{74197}{74294}{y:i}We were so shocked because|Brian was such a kingpin...
{74297}{74377}{y:i}of what was going on in our lives.|He was the father figure.
{74379}{74447}{y:i}And, all of a sudden, that had finished.
{74460}{74545}{y:i}That really sent things into chaos.
{74568}{74608}Tickets, please. Thanks very much.
{74652}{74777}{y:i}Following a lecture that everybody|had been to, to see the Maharishi...
{74790}{74887}{y:i}they were invited to go to Bangor|for a weekend...
{74889}{75009}{y:i}to do meditation and to feel|the experience of meditation.
{75012}{75116}{y:i}I think they needed a break|from the madness.
{75133}{75247}{y:i}So we all ended up getting on a train|to Bangor, for this trip.
{75249}{75357}{y:i}And I, as usual, was trailing behind|with the hand baggage.
{75360}{75464}{y:i}And a massive policeman|put his arm out and stopped me.
{75487}{75619}{y:i}I couldn't get on the train. And the last|thing that I saw was John's head.
{75622}{75726}{y:i}I can't imagine what he was saying,|but it was probably pretty rude about...
{75728}{75856}{y:i}"For Christ's sake, Cyn, you're too slow|again. Why couldn't you run with us?"
{75893}{76012}And at that point I just felt, "That's it."
{76015}{76072}Somehow, I can't explain it.
{76075}{76201}And normally I would|not have broken down.
{76216}{76296}I would have been pretty cool and calm...
{76298}{76371}and I knew that I would get there anyway.
{76372}{76465}But at that point, I just felt so sad...
{76467}{76566}that this is symbolic of our life now.
{76568}{76677}It's like,|"I'm getting off at this station."
{76680}{76752}And it was pretty true after that.
{76778}{76903}Yoko was having an art show in London|at a gallery called Indica Gallery.
{76911}{76962}{y:i}And I heard this was going|to be a happening.
{76964}{77012}{y:i}So I went down|the night before the opening.
{77015}{77073}{y:i}And the first thing|that was in the gallery...
{77076}{77131}{y:i}as you went in there was|a white stepladder...
{77132}{77252}{y:i}and a painting on the ceiling|and a spyglass hanging down.
{77255}{77333}{y:i}I walked up this ladder|and I picked up the spyglass.
{77336}{77366}{y:i}It was balancing there.
{77368}{77466}{y:i}And in teeny little writing|it just said "yes."If it had said "no"...
{77468}{77562}- or something nasty...|- Something nasty.
{77564}{77680}Like "rip-off," or whatever, I would have|left the gallery...
{77682}{77735}but because it was positive,|it said, "Yes"...
{77737}{77869}I thought, "This is the first show I've|been to that said something warm to me."
{77872}{77951}Then I decided to see the rest of the show,|and that's when we met.
{77982}{78068}{y:i}We didn't really get together|till 18 months later.
{78071}{78141}{y:i}She came over for a date, as it were...
{78143}{78237}{y:i}I had a little studio, which was|really just a lot of tape recorders.
{78240}{78314}{y:i}And we made Two Virgins|and I was showing her...
{78317}{78379}{y:i}all my different tape recordings,|and all that.
{78382}{78431}{y:i}I thought, "This is great."|And I was going...
{78432}{78480}{y:i}on the tapes, and she was going...
{78522}{78588}{y:i}And we did, we made a tape all night.
{78591}{78691}{y:i}And in the morning we made love|as the sun came up.
{79107}{79162}"Surprise, surprise."
{79201}{79320}{y:i}We shot the cover ourselves, privately,|and put out Two Virgins.
{79322}{79431}{y:i}And it was a kind of statement as well,|an awakening for me, too.
{79442}{79538}{y:i}This is me, naked, with the woman I love.
{79563}{79598}When you were with the Beatles...
{79601}{79681}you didn't express yourself|politically at all, did you?
{79683}{79726}On our first tour...
{79727}{79826}there was a sort of unspoken thing...
{79828}{79946}that Mr. Epstein was preventing us|talking about the Vietnam War.
{79948}{80023}And before we came back|the second time to America...
{80026}{80061}George and I said to him:
{80062}{80138}"We don't go unless we answer|what we feel about the war."
{80141}{80173}'Cause you were being asked?
{80176}{80223}'Cause we were|asked about it all the time...
{80226}{80315}it was just silly, and we had|to pretend to be like in the old days...
{80317}{80387}when artists weren't meant to say|anything about anything.
{81687}{81786}"When you talk about destruction,|count me out... in."
{81787}{81836}What did you mean by that, John?
{81838}{81931}That means I'm not sure. I really think...
{81947}{82050}if it gets to destruction,|you can count me out, but I'm not sure.
{82052}{82191}I'm human and I'm liable to change,|or depending on the situation.
{82206}{82266}I prefer nonviolence.
{83691}{83811}{y:i}Yesterday, John Lennon and his girlfriend,|the Japanese actress, Yoko Ono...
{83813}{83918}{y:i}were arrested and charged with|the use of marijuana.
{83921}{84046}{y:i}And today they were arraigned here,|at Magistrate's Court, in London.
{84047}{84153}{y:i}He's the one who's known|as the most "way out" of the Beatles.
{84156}{84239}{y:i}Right now, John Lennon is looking|very hard for his car...
{84242}{84335}{y:i}because if he doesn't get to his car,|he's likely to be mobbed.
{84337}{84393}John, Cynthia is better than her!
{84396}{84497}{y:i}That girl next to me just a moment ago|said, "Cynthia is better than her."
{84516}{84588}Initially, when we met...
{84592}{84627}I think there was a feeling of...
{84668}{84738}not really wanting to get together.
{84741}{84797}Because...
{84802}{84922}we knew this was a big one, both of us...
{84924}{84966}and we didn't want to get in.
{84971}{85063}{y:i}And, then, when we got together...
{85066}{85147}{y:i}I think we basically knew|that it was going to be it.
{85150}{85276}{y:i}And after that, it took about a year,|I think...
{85277}{85346}{y:i}before we finally got married.
{86517}{86576}Yes, fortunately...
{86577}{86647}we both agree.
{86659}{86717}Unfortunately, not always.
{86759}{86797}But in the end...
{86847}{86963}we get into something|and forget that we ever disagreed.
{86992}{87091}Fortunately, I met you at the right time.
{87143}{87198}Unfortunately, that's right.
{87252}{87302}But...
{87315}{87373}in the end...
{87447}{87508}I wonder what's going to happen?
{87511}{87573}Fortunately, we don't know.
{87587}{87632}Fortunately...
{87683}{87721}I'm in love with you.
{87758}{87851}Unfortunately, I'm in love with you, too.
{88518}{88605}This is another peace protest, by the way.
{88616}{88656}Why the bag?
{88658}{88751}Because we believe|in total communication.
{88753}{88861}That means, if we have something to say,|or anybody has something to say...
{88877}{88937}they can communicate|and not confuse you...
{88940}{89041}with what color your skin is,|or how long your hair's grown, or...
{89043}{89078}How long is your hair?
{89081}{89129}You have to guess!
{89142}{89252}It is not important. It's only what I say,|that's what we're here for.
{89254}{89327}All we're saying is give peace a chance.
{89330}{89402}Or if the least we can do|is give somebody a laugh...
{89404}{89456}we're willing to be the world's clowns...
{89457}{89570}because we think it's a bit serious|at the moment and a bit intellectual.
{90647}{90706}{y:i}John Lennon, Man of the Decade.|Take one.
{90735}{90801}How hopeful are you|about the future, John?
{90808}{90921}I'm full of optimism, knowing that there's|other people around...
{90923}{90970}who...
{90984}{91068}I can get on, agree with.
{91088}{91222}I'm not insane. I'm not alone.|That's just on a personal level.
{91233}{91374}Of course, the Woodstock, Isle of Wight,|all the mass meetings of the youth...
{91383}{91441}is completely positive for me.
{91443}{91526}And when I'm negative, I've got Yoko.
{91534}{91621}The '60s were just|waking up in the morning.
{91627}{91698}And we haven't even|got to dinnertime yet.
{91707}{91834}I can't wait. I just can't wait.|I'm so glad to be around.
{91848}{91908}And it's just going to be great,|and there's gonna be...
{91970}{92002}You're driving it, too. I see.
{92223}{92365}Sorry. This is for love, I'm doing this,|you understand. And for art.
{92407}{92462}- He just wanted to...|- For the sake of art.
{92464}{92607}{y:i}If you think you know me or you have|some part of me because of the music...
{92609}{92726}{y:i}and then you think that I'm being|controlled like a dog on a leash...
{92728}{92792}{y:i}because I do things with her...
{92794}{92912}{y:i}then screw you, brother, or sister.|You don't know what's happening.
{92914}{93003}{y:i}I'm not here for you.|I'm here for me and her.
{93025}{93092}Is that the audience|you're keeping out there?
{93094}{93167}I'll try and get them to let you in.
{93170}{93216}This way.
{93272}{93326}Can I put something to both of you...
{93328}{93417}about this creative phase|that you're both going through at present?
{93419}{93527}I think you've got to accept, John|and Yoko, that, particularly you, John...
{93530}{93657}that it's alienated you from the people|who originally loved you in this country.
{93659}{93723}- A lot of them.|- They don't understand you anymore.
{93724}{93830}The alienation started|was when I met Yoko.
{93843}{93925}And people do not seem to like|people getting a divorce.
{93936}{94040}It's all right to do it quietly,|but we can't do it quietly.
{94041}{94156}So everyone has this impression|that John's gone crazy.
{94160}{94238}But all I did was fall in love,|like a lot of people do...
{94239}{94340}who are already married,|who married somebody very young.
{94342}{94441}We're not superhuman|and we really get hurt by abuse.
{94443}{94520}We don't mind criticism of our work at all.
{94525}{94622}But the British press|actually called Yoko ugly in the papers.
{94624}{94695}I've never seen that|about any woman or man...
{94701}{94771}even if it was that the person is ugly.
{94774}{94846}You don't normally say it in the paper.
{94852}{94915}"That ugly woman." And she's not ugly.
{94917}{94991}And if she was, you wouldn't be so mean.
{94993}{95103}They even say "attractive" about the most|awful-Iooking people, just to be kind.
{95121}{95202}That's the kind of treatment|we were getting at that time...
{95205}{95240}and it really hurt us.
{95547}{95587}John!
{95699}{95742}Yoko!
{96230}{96293}You're sending us the|"in the middle of the night" verse.
{96295}{96363}We don't want that one.|We want the one on clouds.
{96364}{96472}We're going to do the harmonies|to "in the middle of a cloud" bit.
{96503}{96593}What's the matter with you, Philip?|It's the last fucking verse.
{96608}{96672}"In the middle of the cloud|I called your name.
{96675}{96762}"Oh, Yoko."|We stopped here once, remember?
{96765}{96871}That's the one you're playing now.|We don't want that one.
{96873}{96952}We want the one|that he recorded afterwards.
{96955}{97095}"All new and free." That was from|"In the middle of a cloud," after the end.
{97105}{97179}He did a new version, remember?
{97182}{97268}- That's the one we want. Okay.|- We're just there. All right.
{97324}{97414}The end of the song|is just like the fucking rest of it.
{97417}{97526}We're going to sing the harmonies|to "Oh, Yoko." Come on!
{97562}{97626}Why don't you just|forget about this, darling?
{97628}{97697}Relax until we say, "okay."
{98307}{98412}John, why don't you just|sing it for him once?
{99110}{99150}Okay, now we'll deal with it.
{99159}{99221}Okay, let's go on to the next track.
{99271}{99316}Yoko and I...
{99347}{99399}when we got together...
{99417}{99454}decided that whatever... We knew...
{99457}{99510}whatever we did|was going be in the papers.
{99538}{99588}Whether it's Richard or Liz...
{99591}{99630}or so-and-so gets married...
{99632}{99723}or whatever people like us do|is gonna be in the papers.
{99724}{99788}{y:i}So we decided to utilize the space...
{99789}{99882}{y:i}we would occupy anyway,|by getting married...
{99884}{99967}{y:i}with a commercial for peace.
{99969}{100028}{y:i}And also a theatrical event.
{100316}{100368}{y:i}And what we basically|had was a seven-day...
{100403}{100497}{y:i}press conference in bed.
{100521}{100580}It's a bed-in, folks.
{100604}{100668}{y:i}The first day they fought|at the door to get in...
{100670}{100770}{y:i}thinking there was something|sexy going on.
{100771}{100831}{y:i}And they found two people|talking about peace.
{100834}{100931}Even if you can beat the establishment|at their own game...
{100933}{101046}I don't believe in that game. I think|the only way to do it is Gandhi's way.
{101048}{101147}That's nonviolent, passive, positive|or whatever they call it these old days.
{101150}{101253}Is there not a more positive way|of demonstrating in favor of peace...
{101254}{101313}than sitting in bed|eating three square meals a day...
{101314}{101347}Now, it's a different age.
{101349}{101407}It's gimmicks and salesmanship.
{101409}{101480}And if that's what'll put it across,|that's the way to do it.
{101482}{101581}Whether you're protesting against|the conditions you live in...
{101583}{101691}or the conditions you work in,|or the conditions of the whole world.
{101693}{101736}- Can I talk to you?|- Yeah, sure.
{101738}{101786}Okay. Okay Rog.
{101788}{101838}I think we got the message over, Roger.
{101840}{101921}I think the message is catching on.|The peace message.
{101923}{102000}Chuck, don't you think so,|the peace message is catching on?
{102002}{102134}Right, he thinks so. We met a lot of|groovy people, made some good contacts.
{102141}{102183}- Right?|- For tomorrow?
{102187}{102256}For tomorrow? Who knows?
{102258}{102381}I'm a dreadful Neanderthal fascist.|How do you do?
{102383}{102448}John and Yoko, meet cartoonist Al Capp.
{102492}{102554}We've had all sorts in here.
{102558}{102605}I'm sure you have.
{102671}{102751}One of the things that had...
{102764}{102889}interested me was that you said|that you were very shy people.
{102892}{102937}Yes, we are.
{102977}{103051}And yet, these are...
{103083}{103175}- Does that prove you're not shy?|- Certainly not.
{103177}{103296}Only the shyest people in the world|would take pictures like this.
{103298}{103429}Do shy people...|Do they ever become naked or not?
{103440}{103488}You think that people that are shy...
{103491}{103576}Am I quarreling|with your description of yourselves?
{103578}{103685}If that isn't a picture|of two shy people...
{103687}{103748}I'd like to know what shyness is.
{103749}{103846}- What filth!|- Do you think that's filth?
{103848}{103953}Certainly not.|I'm denouncing people who think it is.
{103955}{104087}I think that everybody owes it to the world|to prove they have pubic hair.
{104089}{104135}And you've done it.
{104146}{104275}You've done it and I tell you|that I applaud you for it.
{104277}{104337}If you want to prove it, you can prove it.
{104340}{104384}Why don't you prove it now...
{104402}{104481}I don't feel that there's|any great interest in it.
{104483}{104568}Clearly, you must have felt|the world wanted to know...
{104569}{104631}what your private parts looked like.
{104633}{104697}And now the world knows.
{104700}{104799}I tell you that's one of|the greatest contributions...
{104802}{104875}to enlightenment and culture of our time.
{104876}{104908}I'm glad you noticed.
{104911}{104947}I wanna thank...
{104966}{105037}I wanna tell you it's hard not to notice.
{105039}{105178}Now you have a song and one of the lines,|and correct me if it isn't:
{105181}{105295}"Christ, it ain't easy. Everywhere I go,|they're gonna crucify me."
{105296}{105362}Rubbish. I didn't say it. The lyric goes:
{105365}{105468}"Christ, you know it ain't easy.|You know how hard it can be.
{105480}{105583}"The way things are going,|they're gonna crucify me." And you, baby.
{105637}{105771}This isn't my song.|These don't express my...
{105773}{105811}We are all together in this world.
{105813}{105909}Let's face it. You and I are married|together in this world.
{105912}{105965}You see, it's like being stuck in...
{105967}{106053}That is a very unkind thought|to plant in my mind.
{106055}{106123}I want to tell you|that this may stay with me...
{106124}{106163}and I'll wake up screaming.
{106165}{106244}This is not true.|You say that to him, not to me.
{106247}{106315}That's your paranoia.|Everybody's married in this world...
{106317}{106376}No, it's just a matter of taste.
{106407}{106446}What do you want to know?
{106448}{106568}In the lyric, you said|they were going to crucify you.
{106571}{106669}- Yeah. If you take it literally.|- How did you mean it?
{106715}{106817}- It means everything you want it to mean.|- What did you want it to mean?
{106819}{106920}They're gonna crucify me|and you and everyone else.
{106921}{106985}But you said,|"They're going to crucify me."
{106987}{107040}- Lf you're gonna take it literally...|- Me is you.
{107041}{107093}Me... And I say that we're all one.
{107095}{107171}I didn't permit you to speak for me.|Who are you speaking for?
{107173}{107218}I took that liberty, Mr. Capp.
{107221}{107257}It's too much of a liberty...
{107260}{107333}I was speaking on behalf|of the people in general...
{107336}{107408}- in a poetic sense.|- You're speaking for yourselves...
{107410}{107473}As a representative of the human race...
{107476}{107553}I'm speaking for us all|whether you like it or not.
{107555}{107684}Whatever race you're|the representative of, I ain't part of it.
{107718}{107853}Maybe yours is the human race|and mine is something less hirsute.
{107878}{107936}But whatever race, it's your race.
{107948}{108023}- You belong to a race on your own.|- Everybody in this room...
{108026}{108090}represents humanity.|Everybody in this room.
{108092}{108210}No, you don't represent me, though.|You don't write songs for me.
{108212}{108297}I want to make that clear to all of Canada.
{108307}{108341}Especially for you.
{108363}{108438}I'll let Kate Smith sing my songs.
{108439}{108503}Who do you write your cartoons for?
{108504}{108623}I write my cartoons for money.|Just as you sing your songs.
{108637}{108690}Exactly the same reason.
{108691}{108794}And exactly the same reason|much of this is happening, too...
{108796}{108829}if the truth be told.
{108832}{108905}You think I couldn't|earn money by some other way...
{108906}{108991}by sitting in bed for seven days,|taking shit from people like you?
{108993}{109093}I could write a song in an hour|and earn more money.
{109094}{109137}Now look here, don't say this.
{109140}{109203}You got into bed so people like me|could come and see you.
{109206}{109279}But not for money,|that's what you're saying.
{109321}{109374}It won't do you any real harm...
{109398}{109443}except you might get some bedsores.
{109445}{109526}But I could earn money|in more easier ways than doing this.
{109528}{109592}I tell you what would do you harm.|So could I.
{109595}{109728}I could make a lot more drawing|people like you, than confronting you.
{109731}{109805}And I must say it's much more|appetizing drawing them...
{109806}{109836}because I can leave them.
{109838}{109925}I prefer singing to doing this|but I'm doing this for a good reason.
{109927}{109988}What you've just done is when you said:
{109991}{110059}"Taking shit from people like you."
{110062}{110146}Now, I was invited here.|You knew I was coming.
{110148}{110183}- Yeah, sure.|- That's right.
{110186}{110231}So we're not doing it for money.
{110233}{110290}- You indicated...|- You haven't any manners at all.
{110291}{110345}And you have manners?
{110346}{110451}- I'm your guest. And, really even if...|- And I'm yours.
{110453}{110525}No, you're not! This is your bedroom!
{110536}{110574}Mr. Capp, may I say one thing?
{110592}{110661}I'd be delighted with any conversation.
{110663}{110719}Okay. I'd like to add to that...
{110721}{110786}Good God, you've gotta live with that?
{110814}{110862}It's good to just...
{110864}{110912}Nice guy.
{110915}{111040}I can see why you want peace.|God knows you can't have much.
{111046}{111112}I'm delighted to have met you,|Madame Nu.
{111114}{111190}You are our answer to Madame Nu...
{111192}{111238}It was great meeting you, Barabbas.
{111240}{111343}But I'm sure the other three guys...
{111347}{111430}the other three fellows are Englishmen.
{111444}{111493}What does that mean?
{111516}{111561}- You think about it.|- Get out.
{111563}{111606}I'll try to work it. Now, Derek.
{111608}{111675}Oh, really, come on!
{111677}{111727}But I'm not having these people|insulting you.
{111730}{111820}Leave it. We asked him here. He's right.
{111838}{111873}Forgive me.
{111875}{111983}Look, Derek, it's not for me to|forgive you, it's for your psychiatrist.
{111998}{112142}{y:i}Christ, you know it ain't easy|You know how hard it can be
{112155}{112284}{y:i}The way things are going|they're gonna crucify Capp
{112339}{112458}Okay. A one, two. A one, two, three, four.
{114730}{114813}When John hitched up with Yoko...
{114817}{114922}he said, "Yoko is now a part of me.
{114935}{115076}"In other words, as I have a right|and left hand, so I have Yoko. That's me.
{115095}{115168}{y:i}"And wherever I am, she is."
{115183}{115224}{y:i}That was a bit difficult to deal with.
{115231}{115288}{y:i}Suddenly, she would|appear in the control room.
{115289}{115335}{y:i}Nobody would say anything to me.
{115336}{115425}{y:i}I wasn't even introduced to her,|but she would just sit there...
{115429}{115510}{y:i}and her influence would be felt.
{115517}{115622}{y:i}To begin with,|everyone was irritated by it.
{115983}{116073}{y:i}By the time we got to Let it Be,|we couldn't play the game anymore.
{116075}{116122}{y:i}We could see through each other...
{116124}{116191}{y:i}and therefore we felt uncomfortable.
{116193}{116313}{y:i}Because up till then, we really believed|intensely in what we were doing...
{116316}{116406}{y:i}and the product we put out.|Everything had to be just right.
{116408}{116498}{y:i}And we believed.|Suddenly, we didn't believe.
{116501}{116615}I don't mind. I'll play|whatever you want me to play.
{116616}{116693}Or I won't play at all, if you don't|want me to play.
{116696}{116803}Whatever it is that will please you,|I'll do it.
{116806}{116848}{y:i}So we couldn't do it anymore.
{116849}{116925}{y:i}It came to a point|where it was no longer creating magic.
{116926}{117053}{y:i}And the camera sort of being in|the room with us made us aware of that.
{117054}{117160}{y:i}That it was a phony situation|and that was the end of it.
{117196}{117290}{y:i}Out of that frustration|came the crazy idea...
{117292}{117375}{y:i}to do a concert on the roof|above the Apple offices.
{117435}{117501}{y:i}Of course, none of us|had the vaguest idea...
{117503}{117637}{y:i}that would be the last time the Beatles|would ever perform together in public.
{121760}{121871}Now, does this mean|a business or emotional split...
{121873}{121937}within the Beatles?
{121971}{122048}Actually I think a bit of both.|But I think it's more of a break.
{122051}{122087}He asks this himself...
{122090}{122170}but doesn't know if it's temporary|or permanent. That's the truth.
{122172}{122215}I think none of us know that.
{122217}{122341}His financial interests in Apple|and the organizations will stay?
{122343}{122399}Yes. Contractually they have to...
{122401}{122456}and I think emotionally|they'd all want it to.
{122458}{122503}They never argued about money.
{122505}{122619}What are the personal differences|that he refers to in...
{122621}{122697}I don't know.|It's probably to do with growing up.
{122701}{122762}There was a time|when there were just four of them.
{122764}{122818}But now they're married|and there are children.
{122819}{122875}Will anyone ever replace|the Beatles for you?
{122877}{122907}- No.|- No.
{122925}{123057}It's just one Beatles group. That's it.|There could never be another.
{123059}{123135}- What is it about them?|- We grew up with them.
{123140}{123253}They started when they were younger,|and we were younger.
{123255}{123329}And all through these years|we've just developed with them...
{123332}{123376}and grown up with them.
{123378}{123448}They, like, belong to us, you know?
{123449}{123562}But there could never be|another Beatles. Never.
{127424}{127514}{y:i}Yoko, is that a fresh pot of tea?
{127517}{127585}- Yes.|- It's fairly fresh.
{127634}{127710}This is actually a Beatle wife|fixing the tea...
{127712}{127808}for one of the fab four ex-Beatles.
{127809}{127864}- Fab three.|- Fab three.
{127915}{127998}I see Beatle Phil making a pig of himself.
{128028}{128090}You see much of the Beatles|these days, other Beatles?
{128092}{128166}I saw a Beatle. Beatle Ed.
{128168}{128241}- Beatle Ed. How is he?|- He was all right.
{128246}{128328}But he was just going off on a tour.
{128330}{128427}Beatle Ed's not doing too well|these days, is he?
{128430}{128529}- He's number five in Sweden.|- In Sweden, I see.
{128665}{128718}{y:i}Paul wrote some song that was...
{128720}{128791}{y:i}like a private message. So to speak.
{128793}{128903}{y:i}John was upset about those songs.|And so that's how it happened.
{128905}{129038}{y:i}It was, like, a reply to Paul,|rather than a message to Paul.
{131589}{131630}Okay. Stop.
{131632}{131757}{y:i}I wrote a sort of song of How Do You|Sleep? On Walls and Bridges.
{131763}{131796}I can't remember the name.
{131798}{131867}{y:i}Steel and Glass, which I thought|was about a few people.
{131870}{131935}But then I realized, no, it's me again.
{131937}{132057}It's not about Paul. It's about me.|I'm really attacking myself.
{132080}{132162}But I regret the association.|Well, not really regret.
{132192}{132228}He lived through it.
{132245}{132337}The only thing that matters|is how he and I feel about those things.
{132339}{132471}And not what the writer|or the commentator thinks about it.
{132478}{132513}Him and me are okay.
{132543}{132577}Great.
{132579}{132695}I am a very busy housewife,|to put it mildly.
{132716}{132806}Oh, no! They have to say|that it was all a hoax.
{132827}{132866}What was?
{132868}{132918}"Lennon lie-in."
{132921}{133020}"Dear Mr. Lennon. From information|I received while using a Ouija board...
{133022}{133097}"I believe that there will be an attempt|to assassinate you.
{133099}{133187}"The spirit that gave me this information|was Brian Epstein.
{133230}{133318}"He said the attempt will be made in place|on March 6...
{133321}{133403}"Mr. Epstein also said|that Paul McCartney was alive in London."
{133463}{133552}"John Lennon doesn't affront the queen|by sending back his MBE.
{133555}{133613}"He doesn't make ha'penny's|worth of difference...
{133616}{133659}"to attitudes on Biafra or Vietnam.
{133662}{133770}"Or to the place of his drug-orientated|record in the charts.
{133772}{133826}"He makes an ass of himself."
{133874}{133952}- We waited for hours.|- Remember me?
{133955}{134007}If I'm going to get on the front page...
{134010}{134086}I might as well get on the front page|with the word "peace."
{134088}{134149}But you've made yourself ridiculous.
{134152}{134201}To some people. I don't care...
{134203}{134259}- You're too good for what you're doing.|- Lf it saves lives...
{134298}{134419}You don't think... My dear boy,|you're living in a never-never land.
{134422}{134452}You talked to a...
{134455}{134521}You don't think you've|saved a single life?
{134523}{134605}What do you know about|a protest movement, anyway?
{134607}{134640}I know a lot about it.
{134642}{134677}It consists of a lot more than...
{134679}{134779}sending your chauffeur in your car|back to Buckingham Palace.
{134782}{134848}You're just a snob about it!|The only way you can make...
{134850}{134883}You're a fake!
{134885}{134966}Can't give up something|that means a little more?
{134968}{135053}It was no sacrifice to get rid of the MBE,|it was an embarrassment...
{135055}{135111}Then what kind of protest did you make?
{135113}{135246}- You said I don't know what this...|- It is an advertising campaign for peace.
{135248}{135296}- Can you understand that?|- No, I can't.
{135298}{135341}A very big ad|campaign for peace.
{135342}{135396}I think it's vulgar|and self-aggrandizing.
{135398}{135472}Are you advertising|John Lennon or peace?
{135475}{135556}Do you want nice,|middle-class gestures for peace?
{135558}{135633}And intellectual manifestos...
{135636}{135734}written by a lot half-witted intellectuals?
{135738}{135861}And nobody reads them. That's the trouble|with the peace movement.
{135870}{135928}I'm someone who admired you very much.
{135930}{135996}I'm sorry you liked|the old mop-tops, dear...
{135998}{136097}and you thought|I was very satirical and witty.
{136106}{136177}{y:i}And you liked Hard Day's Night, love,|but I've grown up.
{136179}{136235}- But you obviously haven't.|- Have you?
{136252}{136297}Yes, folks.
{136766}{136837}{y:i}John Lennon stopped|during his busy peace campaign today...
{136840}{136952}{y:i}to give an interview in which|he spoke candidly about drugs.
{136960}{137035}It's no good us preaching|at people and saying:
{137037}{137086}"Don't take them,"|because that doesn't work.
{137088}{137167}It's like the church telling you|not to drink or not to have sex...
{137170}{137247}when you're a kid. There's nothing|on earth that's going to do it.
{137250}{137305}But if people take any notice|of what we say...
{137306}{137380}we say we've been|through the drug scene, man...
{137391}{137483}and there is nothing like being straight.
{137490}{137560}But you need hope,|and hope is something...
{137562}{137643}that you have to build up within yourself.
{137736}{137857}{y:i}London police today confiscated|a number of erotic lithographs...
{137860}{137959}{y:i}by pop musician and artist, John Lennon.
{137961}{138035}{y:i}A local district court will rule...
{138036}{138095}{y:i}as to whether the art is pornographic...
{138096}{138185}{y:i}and whether or not|it can displayed publicly.
{138220}{138311}{y:i}But even with drawings and things.|I have been talking to Yoko.
{138313}{138400}{y:i}And she convinced me that anything|I draw or write...
{138402}{138460}{y:i}is just as important communication-wise.
{138461}{138511}{y:i}I shouldn't just show it to friends.
{138513}{138566}{y:i}I should put everything out.
{139854}{139907}{y:i}While we were living in New York...
{139909}{140033}we started to see the resemblance|between New York and Liverpool.
{140059}{140113}And the docks, the piers, you know.
{140138}{140255}{y:i}I said, "This is like going|back to Liverpool. It's a big Liverpool. "
{140283}{140430}I've met a lot of New Yorkers who|complain about it, but nobody moves out.
{140441}{140488}It's the greatest place on earth.
{140523}{140621}{y:i}Documents released today reveal|that a massive FBI investigation...
{140623}{140676}{y:i}in the early 1970s...
{140678}{140758}{y:i}was part of a government effort|to deport John Lennon.
{140795}{140843}You don't think there's|any possibility that...
{140844}{140902}the government is trying to harass|the Lennons?
{140904}{141005}Absolutely not. This is the kind|of treatment we would dish out...
{141006}{141108}to anybody convicted|of a narcotics offense.
{141114}{141227}{y:i}When it first started,|I was followed in a car.
{141247}{141293}And my phone was tapped.
{141296}{141381}And people thought I was crazy then.
{141383}{141455}They do anyway, but I mean more so.
{141456}{141580}"Lennon, you big-headed maniac,|who's going to follow you?
{141582}{141617}"What do they want?"
{141619}{141708}That's what I'm saying.|What do they want? I'm not going to...
{141709}{141752}cause them any problem.
{141822}{141919}{y:i}Everywhere John went, people asked him|that question...
{141922}{141998}{y:i}the one about the Beatles|getting back together.
{142000}{142063}{y:i}And even though we were friends...
{142065}{142200}{y:i}I was a reporter at that time|and the question was almost obligatory.
{142219}{142268}Will they ever team up again?
{142271}{142415}It's quite possible, yes. I don't know|why the hell we'd do it, but it's possible.
{142420}{142510}- Would you like that to happen?|- Lf it happens, I'll enjoy it.
{142511}{142570}Would you want to initiate|that happening?
{142572}{142656}I don't know, Elliot. 'Cause you know me.|I go on instinct.
{142658}{142711}If the idea hit me tomorrow...
{142713}{142802}I might call them and say,|"Come on, let's do something."
{142812}{142909}I couldn't really tell you.|If it happens, it will happen.
{142911}{143031}So, it is not something you'd totally|rule out as never taking place again?
{143033}{143138}No. My memories are now|all fond and the wounds are healed.
{143161}{143269}If we do it, we do it.|If we record, we record. I don't know.
{143274}{143321}As long as we make music, you know.
{143357}{143403}{y:i}Crowds have been gathering all day...
{143406}{143463}{y:i}in anticipation of|John Lennon's appearance...
{143465}{143518}{y:i}here tonight for a charity concert.
{143519}{143573}{y:i}John has rarely been seen onstage...
{143574}{143657}{y:i}since the Beatles'|final tour six years ago.
{143689}{143754}{y:i}Ladies and gentlemen, John Lennon!
{146301}{146369}{y:i}By then it was getting very obvious...
{146371}{146476}{y:i}that the world didn't want us to|really work together.
{146505}{146601}{y:i}So, it was 1973. I just felt like|saying to John:
{146603}{146690}{y:i}"Look, why don't you just go to L.A.|And have fun?
{146691}{146742}{y:i}"Leave me alone."
{146745}{146848}{y:i}I just wanted to think straight,|because I couldn't think straight anymore.
{146865}{146928}{y:i}She had literally said, "Get out."
{146931}{147026}{y:i}And I said, "Okay, I'm going."
{147028}{147127}{y:i}I had been married before Yoko,|and I immediately married Yoko...
{147130}{147216}{y:i}so I've never been a bachelor|since I was 20 or something.
{147218}{147296}{y:i}So I thought, "Woo-hoo!"
{147317}{147402}The lost weekend was a combination|of a remarkable party...
{147437}{147550}an exercise into|the depths of foolishness...
{147564}{147671}and, I think, John's last effort|to assert his manhood.
{147714}{147787}I think it was his departure...
{147800}{147863}from his innocence and from his youth...
{147877}{147958}to becoming a man, to becoming serious...
{147959}{148035}to wanting to be with Yoko,|to having a child.
{148037}{148133}And this is...|Some people have bachelor parties.
{148150}{148183}John had a lost weekend...
{148186}{148268}that went on for 14 months|or however long it went on.
{148338}{148428}{y:i}Clearly it was necessary for somebody|to be with John...
{148434}{148520}{y:i}and Miss Pang seemed like|a logical choice.
{148521}{148632}{y:i}Nothing gets done with John|unless there's somebody there.
{148635}{148721}{y:i}And Yoko suggested that she would|be the ideal companion...
{148723}{148783}{y:i}for John for this mission.
{148817}{148953}{y:i}That lost weekend that everybody|keeps talking about, it wasn't so lost.
{148978}{149098}People saw more of John|than they had in the previous years.
{149101}{149145}And he was out and about a lot.
{149181}{149279}He had recorded several albums...
{149291}{149408}{y:i}starting with Mind Games|to Rock 'n'Roll to Walls and Bridges.
{149420}{149513}And he worked with Ringo on his album.
{149521}{149568}There's also David Bowie...
{149571}{149614}when they collaborated on...
{149617}{149698}{y:i}David Bowie's first|number one hit song, Fame.
{149710}{149835}{y:i}And also Elton John, when we went|to Caribou. So there was a lot going on.
{149837}{149871}We had a lot of fun.
{149873}{149969}There was Keith Moon, Harry, me,|Ringo all living together in the house.
{149972}{150091}We had some moments, folks.|But it got a little near the knuckle.
{150111}{150193}{y:i}I hit the bottle like I was 18 and 19...
{150195}{150294}{y:i}and I was acting like|I was still at college.
{150317}{150356}{y:i}The only terrible thing...
{150358}{150468}{y:i}that I can say about John Lennon is|he was an absolutely miserable drunk.
{150470}{150536}{y:i}He could not stop once he started.
{150538}{150656}Two Brandy Alexanders, and he|was absolutely charming, delightful...
{150658}{150742}told the old stories, was witty and lovely.
{150744}{150796}By the third...
{150830}{150929}he started to snarl, and after that,|he was uncontrollable.
{150966}{151040}{y:i}It was the first night|I had drank Brandy Alexanders...
{151042}{151088}{y:i}which is brandy and milk, folks.
{151091}{151202}{y:i}And I was with Harry Nilsson, who didn't|quite get as much coverage as me.
{151204}{151251}{y:i}They just sort of said, "Okay...
{151253}{151306}{y:i}"you better leave, Mr. Lennon."|And then they took me out.
{151308}{151395}It was a mistake but, hell, I'm human.
{151397}{151481}I was drunk in Liverpool and smashed|phone boxes...
{151506}{151564}it didn't get in the papers then.
{151801}{151851}Fred Astaire and Ginger Beer!
{151937}{151968}All right, dancing over with.
{151971}{152039}- We've done the dancing one.|- Let's make the commercial now.
{152046}{152157}I'm gonna impound all those photos|till I get my green card.
{152159}{152275}{y:i}I was out of control|and nobody was looking after me.
{152276}{152333}{y:i}I needed somebody to love me.
{152335}{152439}{y:i}There was nobody there to support me|and I fell apart.
{155775}{155824}{y:i}The worst was|being separated from Yoko...
{155827}{155942}{y:i}and realizing that I really,|really needed to be with her...
{155944}{155978}{y:i}and wanted to be with her...
{155981}{156072}{y:i}and could not, literally,|survive without her.
{159050}{159111}{y:i}Sean was born on October the ninth...
{159113}{159189}{y:i}which I was, so we're almost like twins.
{159192}{159251}{y:i}It's a pleasure for me to hang|around the house.
{159253}{159332}{y:i}I was always a homebody.|But I think a lot of musicians are.
{159371}{159459}{y:i}I've been so locked|in the home environment...
{159462}{159519}{y:i}and completely switched|my way of thinking...
{159522}{159598}{y:i}that I didn't really|think about music at all.
{159600}{159671}{y:i}My guitar was hung up|behind the bed, literally.
{159673}{159775}{y:i}I don't think I took it down in five years.
{162311}{162346}The fact that my father...
{162385}{162518}almost completely stopped|his musical career to raise me.
{162535}{162623}It makes me feel good. I know that.
{162672}{162739}He would play music around me.
{162751}{162846}I never really registered|that he was a Beatle...
{162853}{162956}{y:i}until I saw a movie|called Yellow Submarine.
{162990}{163056}And I just put it together.
{163064}{163170}I would ask about it. He would say,|"Yeah, this is the Beatles.
{163172}{163252}"I was a Beatle, but that's over now."
{163257}{163378}"That's over now|and I'm spending time with you."
{163435}{163492}What's your favorite part of the circus?
{163495}{163565}I like the clowns and the little dogs.
{163590}{163666}Would you give it all up|to run away and join the circus?
{163683}{163786}I've already given it up, but I haven't|decided where to run, though.
{163866}{163903}Say hello.
{163967}{164043}Hello. We're having lunch|on Sunday, April the 12th.
{164046}{164174}Hello, we're having lunch on TV!
{164183}{164287}{y:i}I'd go through periods of panic|because I was not in the Billboard...
{164289}{164413}{y:i}or being seen at Studio 54|with Mick and Bianca.
{164414}{164517}{y:i}I didn't exist anymore.|And I realized there was a life without it.
{164523}{164615}{y:i}I thought, "This reminds me of being 15."
{164617}{164713}{y:i}"I didn't have to write songs at 15.|I wrote it if I wanted to. "
{164714}{164813}{y:i}That's when I suddenly|could do it again with ease.
{164820}{164940}{y:i}All the songs that are on Double Fantasy|all came within a period of three weeks.
{165985}{166088}{y:i}When I was singing|and writing this and working with her...
{166089}{166193}{y:i}I was visualizing|all the people of my age group.
{166213}{166338}{y:i}I'm singing to them. I'm saying,|"Here I am now. How are you?
{166343}{166387}{y:i}"How's your relationship going?
{166390}{166433}{y:i}"Did you get through it all?
{166436}{166495}{y:i}"Wasn't the '70s a drag?"
{166497}{166573}{y:i}"Here we are. Let's try and make|the '80s good. "
{166628}{166699}- John Lennon, can I have your autograph?|- Yeah.
{166701}{166765}I got to shake your hand, man!
{166780}{166861}What's up, man? I can't believe I met you.|I swear to God.
{166863}{166923}When are the Beatles|getting back together?
{166925}{166957}Tomorrow.
{166960}{167022}You're full of it.|When are you getting back together?
{167024}{167080}I love your album. I like your blue album.
{167082}{167162}- Hey, who's that guy?|- John Lennon, from the Beatles.
{167165}{167200}I can't believe it.
{167260}{167342}{y:i}It's not out of our control.|I still believe in love...
{167345}{167418}{y:i}peace, I still believe|in positive thinking.
{167419}{167477}{y:i}While there's life, there's hope.
{167479}{167564}{y:i}Because I always considered|my work one piece...
{167566}{167628}{y:i}and I consider that my work|won't be finished...
{167631}{167707}{y:i}until I'm dead and buried.|I hope that's a long, long time.
{167880}{168013}There was a lot of feeling of premonition,|when you look back at it now.
{168014}{168097}But I was very worried about him.
{168136}{168168}And...
{168243}{168300}in fact, I told John:
{168316}{168367}"It's getting very busy.
{168370}{168474}"And it's a strain on us.
{168477}{168570}"The schedule is a strain on us|and I think you need a rest.
{168572}{168688}"And you and Sean should|go back to Bermuda."
{168695}{168732}And...
{168756}{168812}he said, "Not this time.
{168820}{168916}"I'm going to be with you,|no matter what."
{168949}{169001}And...
{169163}{169205}that's how it was.
{170089}{170220}{y:i}John Lennon shot yesterday in front of|his New York apartment building...
{170221}{170324}{y:i}Residents say a man in his late thirties|had been waiting for hours...
{170327}{170432}{y:i}He died in the emergency room|at Roosevelt Hospital...
{170463}{170596}{y:i}... once called the guiding spirit of|the Beatles, dead tonight at the age of 40.
{174075}{174117}There was no...
{174149}{174213}there was no wall facing us anymore.
{174216}{174291}There was always something|in between us...
{174312}{174398}but it had been knocked down.
{174400}{174441}We could actually...
{174443}{174539}"Hi, Dad, I'd like to come see you.|Is that okay?" "Yeah."
{174562}{174653}It's hard to explain emotions...
{174707}{174758}in dealing with...
{174786}{174851}that situation especially...
{174894}{174983}especially when we were...
{175009}{175048}getting so close.
{175126}{175158}His music...
{175224}{175342}will live on forever in my heart|and in many people's hearts.
{175371}{175513}Because it was so vulnerable.|It showed such a vulnerable man...
{175527}{175642}who cared so much about people|and expressed himself so well.
{175699}{175756}The first few years after his death...
{175758}{175847}I would always cry|when I heard the music.
{175856}{175963}But now I got over it.
{175969}{176081}The thing I miss most about him|is just him being around...
{176102}{176212}taking me places, doing things with me,|talking with me.
{176225}{176348}He tried to show me how to play|the guitar once. It didn't really work out.
{176405}{176506}Just his presence was all I needed.
{176579}{176657}He was my husband, he was my lover.
{176660}{176731}He was my friend.
{176733}{176796}He was my partner.
{176847}{176890}And...
{176939}{177051}he was an old soldier that fought with me.
