Lennon had such strong trauma from his childhood and it bled over to his adulthood. He often times allowed people who didn’t have his best interest to make decisions for him, I wish he could have seen that the one who really loved him as a person, as a friend and as a collaborator was Paul. At least they made up a bit before Lennon’s untimely death.

Dearest Paul, you were more than friends with John. Your connection was spiritually deep. Your co-written songs were musically telepathic. Your initial meeting was written in the stars and still shines on today. The top and bottom of it all is you gave the world such magical melodies and lyrics, never to be repeated by others. John loved you so much and it was reciprocal. His love for you did not die. I truly believe that. Love transcends death. As for me, well, I love you both and have done since I was a twelve year old schoolgirl in 1962. Thanks for the incredible memories. I feel blessed to have been born into your era. ❤❤❤

John and Paul were soulmates and suddenly John found his new soulmate, Yoko. That, together with his serious drug problems and the illnesses and mental problems that he surely suffered from, was what caused their relationship to be like this during the 70s. In parallel, Paul was a very sensible, healthy and family-oriented man. This shows that geniuses can be very different, even when they are practically brothers.

Paul and the Beatles were on the Ed Sullivan show on CBS in 1963. They were just a little older than me, and they were role models. Later, we all found out that the celebrity given to classic rock musicians was usually misplaced. Most were creative aholes. They were not worthy of respect beyond their music. Paul McCartney has always been fun, creative and thoughtful of other people's feelings. I still respect him as a man and a human being.

[@andrewcowin3815]

Paul here: "A lot of bravado in what John said ..." Keith Richards, "John had a front as big as Harrods." Interesting insights from guys who knew Lennon back when. But, what got John killed was that he was so down to earth, when that psycho asked him for an autograph, John was probably taking the time to put his trademark smiley face on it. Really sad.

[@mark11967AD]

I think John wanted to be the man but Paul really was the man or became the leader. And it’s hard. But there was a lot of love between them. It’s like with any relationship with an ex etc. It’s hard to go back. You sort of move on. But they both gave so much to the world. And they did it together. I remember looking at song credits and lyrics on the old albums and so many times it sad Lennon/McCartney. And I don’t know why but that always made me feel good. Teamwork truly does make the dream work. Corny but true. Peace be with John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Nobody I don’t believe in history ever had the unique influence they had in their time.

Paul is a very nice man, very warm and friendly, he never turned his back on his children, he even took care of Julian. John was very self-centered and talked about peace, but meanwhile he was a bad father to his first son and unforgivable to Paul, whom he blamed for arranging financial affairs behind the Beatles' backs. He was very harsh and would not forgive Paul. That. Paul visited regularly, but John always closed the door, which caused Paul great pain, his wife Linda always accompanied Paul on these visits. It's nice to hear Paul say that at some point they were talking again, but that took a long time! May Pang played a role in this, during the 18 months she lived with John she suggested they meet again, during that time John and Paul were also in the studio together again and John went out to see other celebrities, such as Mick Jagger, he also saw Julian regularly again. But back with Yoko he became a househusband and hardly saw people anymore.

Everyone talks about John's relationship with Julian but you have to understand that John didn't have a father in his life. He rarely saw his father who was a merchant seaman. His parents were never married. He last saw his father when he was 5 years old and never after that. From that age on he grew up living with his Aunt Mimi and his uncle. He had no clue at all how to be a father. He also had a lot of anger built up in him from basically being abandoned by his parents. That anger spilled over into his relationships when he was younger. He had a somewhat tempestuous relationship with Cynthia, his girlfriend and only married her after finding out she was pregnant. Julian was born in 1963. He was married at a registry office and then he had to go perform that night. When Julian was born he was on tour and didn't see him until 3 days later. The 4 years until he and Cynthia divorced were like a whirl wind for the Beatles. Constant touring and recording through 1966. How much time he spent with Julian who knows. But Julian was only 4 years old when his parents split up. And then after that it was difficult for John to even see Julian. So their relationship was haphazard and strained at best. It wasn't until Sean was born that Lennon became a real father.

I believe that they had disagreements over business and management and lawyers with Paul wanting to go one way and the others not wanting to do that. I also believe that their best was well behind them. From Sgt. Pepper on they were winging it with some really great tracks on albums lost in a a load of rubbish like the White Album.

[@roberthoffman6673]

The morning after John was shot, I woke up to WNEW radio in NY they were playing all Beatles and John which was odd but then played Abraham, Martin and John that told me something was wrong. It was a shock.

[@Bduh2]

I think we all have a "John Lennon" in us, the difference is that some of us keep it to just thinking of saying something, John wasn't like that. John grew up under Yoko's guidance because she didn't put up with his attitude and that was exactly what John needed and loved. I had the same experience with my late wife. She explained things to me in a manner I finally understood, the same thing might have been the case with John and Yoko and he loved her more and more for it.

[@PC4USE1]

I was called that night by my ex fiance who knew how much I cared about The Beatles and each individual member and it was surrealistic, I was in a state of shock for a week. I am 68 now but I was 24 then and it seems like yesterday. Lennon,for all his foibles was a musical genius as was each of the group in their own ways.

It shows you though, how the press can spin things.🤟

[@MeTube3]

And how easily people are taken in by it.

[@josephwirtel8765]

Youll notice when George died, Paul had a reaction that was commensurate with the loss. He had time in that case. Kinda unfair to hold the “ drag” thing against Paul. He seems to have had some residual guilt, but he’s in a situation where every move is judged in real time. Hes had to live like that since age 21. Strange much?

[@M0odyBlue]

You could tell he was in shock. He is usually extremely articulate.

Lovely Video

[@robertengland8769]

Its so sad that the greatest group in rock history didnt get along there in the end. At least we still have their music. Both as Beatles, and solo carrers.

[@岡勝秀の怖い話の朗読]

It is a great tragedy even for me, who never actually met John, so I think it was an immeasurable tragedy for Paul, with whom he shared his youth.

[@grahamt19781]

I was far too young to really know much when Lennon died but I can relate it to when Dimebag Darrell from Pantera died after being shot on stage. I cried for 3 weeks solid. Completely different realm of music but those who know, know.

[@gofieldsandsay]

Beautiful last words ♥️

[@worldtourmaster]

Paul probably knew john more personally and intimately than anyone else on the planet. Paul knew him longer than George and Ringo knew him, and longer than John's wives knew him.

[@jamesmiklos8710]

Never forget that day in December opening television hearing the news song was playing just like starting over bad time in my life also one week before Christmas leaving Toronto to Montreal not hearing from my father over 26 years

[@hollydatsopoulos7998]

I was 10 when John Lennon was killed. I remember it was one of the few times my Dad was home from work, because my Mom was watching the news, I was doing homework at the table, and suddenly she goes, “Oh my God! Honey! Honey!” Dad came running out of the bedroom, “What? What?” “Someone killed John Lennon!” I asked, “Who’s John Lennon?” Dad said, “He was one of the Beatles!” “Who are the Beatles?” Dad just put a record on, and we listened to the Beatles and John Lennon for the rest of the night. That was when I really knew who they were, and when I realized how much their music affected me. I knew who Elvis Presley had been, because they always listened to Elvis. But, the Beatles…I knew their songs, but I didn’t know THEM until that night.

[@tylergoodman3560]

At least they were on good speaking terms towards the end. 😢🎉

[@claudioaloise5149]

Live Forever John❤

[@WinterBornActual]

There is no normal response to grief. Some people scream and hit themselves and go bonkers. Others appear to show no reaction and anywhere in between. And all that is up in the air when it is John Lennon assassinated and a bunch of headline-seeking journalists ambushing Paul like that. Humans do not do shock well. That's why it's called shock.

[@paulferranti8536]

I’ve never been more ashamed of this country….I don’t know why….it doesn’t make sense..

[@robertmack7116]

Ashamed of this country? What? Why?

[@PaulFormentos]

Why ole Harrison was attacked in UK, THEY woulda got Lennon anywhere

[@leftofcenter4]

Yep…Many Beatles fans and JL fans would find it very hard to actually come to terms that PM was actually the leader and founder of the Beatles, he seeked John out not the other way around. And the start of the Beatles was really when Paul and George met in school..Paul actually brought the Beatles together..but he never connects those dots in public because he knows the JL Fans would have a fit, but when you look at the facts they can’t be refuted. And not to mention How Paul keep the group together after Brian Epstein passing.

[@dragonmartijn]

John should have stayed married to Paul and ditched Yoke.

[@richardmcginnis5344]

the youngest of 4 my older brother and sisters were big beatles fans, i was to young to get it but i was a big zeppelin fan so i guess it makes up for them leading the way, i knew every beatles song by heart by 7 years old and when lennon died i was 15?so figure it out

[@KB-th9jm]

I’m glad they never got back together and finished it on their own terms. Obviously it would have been great if they did decided while John was still alive to record again, but I like the fact that they didn’t because it just didn’t feel right. Sometimes it’s just better as fans to accept their decision and not be greedy just because it’s what WE want.

[@PaulFormentos]

And George, Linda, Mal, Mo......

[@AnneMatthews-g5k]

I think Paul and John were best friends, its just things in life got mixed up and got in the way. They are both brilliant.

[@PaulFormentos]

Yeah but John never took to Billy in the same way, George too

[@Angelkat757]

They both been through a lot in their lives. Had to be hard on all involved John having not a great childhood but i feel bad for julian too 😢 Paul i feel is very sincere in what he's said here. I feel bad he lost linda too😢 I feel that yoko was a fake and insincere a goldigger😮 she was jealous of cynthia lennon and Julian. Most people still hate her to this day. Inthink she h a d alot to do with beatles break up. She wanted to ensure she got her money. Im glad paul and john made up. John's death is still suspicious and raises eyebrows. 😢😢😢

[@timothytremblay7763]

"Yoko Ono" and John's Libido had a great deal to do with the "BREAKUP" in my personal opinion. Beatles could have written and recorded at least 3 more spectacular albums and gone much further into music history., HEY but that's just the way I have surmised the situation folks. If you don't like it I am available for discourse concerning this unsavory thing. Nevertheless may Peace be with you.

[@SpecialAgent666]

What he needs to dissuade or put to rest are the old whispers about you not being the real Paul McCartney 😒 since the car crash where they secretly buried him and replaced him with you since that look alike contest. And people showing the differences in appearance is convincing along with the secret messages on Beatles albums and the songs 🎵
