She had every right to speak her truth, that John was not always easy to deal with, and in recounting things that Yoko did to her we can clearly see and decide for ourselves that Yoko was highly manipulative, not to be trusted, jealous, vindictive, greedy, and would stop at NOTHING to get what she wanted.

We're not going to get this sort of personal remembrance from Yoko or others without a certain spin. Pang had a relatively short but intense time w/ John (and Yoko) but seems able to place it into a balanced context with so much time having past. Her stories line up w/ her published 1980s-90s stories. Glad to know she is friendly w/ Julian; she probably offers him a certain parental figure connection to his parents from someone still living that was there w/ them at an impressionable the time of his youth.

A pro and also when I interviewed May for my channel a few days ago

[@charwest9449]

May has always been one of my favorite people in The Beatles saga. She is a very good person, truly loved John, and did what she could to help him find his way back to being a proper father to Julian, a proper ex-husband on good terms with Cynthia, and getting back to writing with Paul. And she asked for nothing in return. Theirs was a true love. A stark contrast to who John ended up with, and who drained him of everything he had.

[@curtandoscar]

"True love" perhaps but May also recounted in her book how John beat the crap out of her over and over - multiple times, all through their time together, even choking her at one point. This repeatedly gets whitewashed - it is almost never brought up in interviews with May when discussing the "lost weekend".

[@charwest9449]

@@curtandoscar What can I say? Maybe it wasn't as bad as it sounds. Maybe she overlooked it. Maybe she liked it. But the fact is, whatever he did or didn't do to her, she still loved him right to the end. And so did Cynthia. Yes, life goes on, and we make the best of it when someone departs from our lives, but we still love who we love. And this is just my personal feeling, but I think we should stop calling it a "Lost Weekend". Yoko trivialized it as that. John & May were together a year and a half, he'd stopped taking Yoko's calls, he gave Yoko crap seats to his MSG concert while May was backstage with him, and John &May were buying a house together. If anything, the "Lost Weekend" was Yoko's highly manipulative "stop smoking" session that was supposed to last a few hours, but through hypnosis and drugs, ENDED UP LASTING ALL WEEKEND. John remembered nothing afterwards, just that he kept drinking tea and throwing up. Sounds like Yoko got him back on heroin again. THAT was the REAL LOST WEEKEND! Like the guy that wakes up in Las Vegas to find out he's gotten married the night before, and a really bad tattoo! And indeed, later John must have realized Yoko had carefully timed that weekend to her fertility cycle (likely the reason she kept adjusting the date) and had gotten herself pregnant that weekend as extra insurance to reel him back. Just in case hypnotizing John, re-hooking him to drugs, and the immigration argument, didn't work to get him back to the Dakota where she could finally get her hand in his pocket (she was going for firing Seiden and grabbing John's Power of Attorney) and he insisted on going ahead with May, Yoko would sue him for as much as she could get for paternity of Sean. She would go for as much as she could get, unlike Cynthia. Plus, that would give her an excuse to bask in Johns fame big time. That's why she was always so wary about Cynthia and Julian, sensing the strong position they were actually in. That's why Yoko quickly manipulated her way into being gatekeeper against them. For Yoko it was all about finances and fame. She was determined to grab both from John to the max, no matter what HE actually wanted to do. And she could run circles around him. So yeah, comparatively, what John&Cynthia or John&May had was real love.

[@curtandoscar]

@@charwest9449 Wow. To suggest that "maybe" May "liked" the beatings is 1) mind blowing, and 2) means you didn't read her book Loving John. The beatings and choking were entirely non consensual, if you or anyone somehow thinks this was some sort of S&M thing. John's repeated violence towards her was inexcusable and is consistently left out of the narrative ie whitewashed even though it sure as hell was a notable fact about John. That was the point of my comment. WHY is something like this - a shameful and extraordinary fact about one of the most famous men in history - consistently whitewashed?

@@curtandoscar Yes, he was flawed. But my point is they had a real relationship. She didn't have to manipulate him to be with her, as Yoko did, because he loved her.

[@guitar1067]

One of the finest, most "real" interviews I have seen. Had May met John in London, after his divorce, before Yoko did, I could envision her as John's Linda, a postive, well liked part of the Beatle family. It seems John would have been much better off, and without Yoko's negative, bizarre influence the Beatle's could perhaps have endured (as the Stones have). What might have come of it, had May and Linda gotten together, as planned in New Orleans, and encouraged John and Paul to write together. I view Yoko as a calculating, manipulative groupie who saw John as her meal ticket, and who viciously, ruthlessly lashed out at anyone she viewed as a threat to her ride on the gravy train. Her "art" was trash, in my view, and her "singing" and "music" junk. Look how she treated very likable and positive Julian before and after John"s death. May seems to have mostly encouraged Lennon's good qualities, while, sadly, Yoko preyed on his weaknesses and flaws to, and her advantage, and his detriment. Thanks for one of the best Beatle's/Music interviews ever. I had no idea May Pang is a person of such depth, or that you are so impressive an interviewer.

The Beatles was over because they were sick and tired of being the Beatles, it had ran it's course, Yoko didn't break them up, she was a witch, but the guys were tired of putting up with each other, they had 10 years to get back together, and never did for reasons

john almost died of alcohol poisoning while he was with may. all you have to do is listen to his interviews here on youtube. he almost died. but that is just what he says himself in tape recorded interviews here on youtube which you could listen to anytime for yourself

[@johnpaulsecond4626]

this is where i am starting to see who John post Beatles as he really was as a person in relationship with someone normal; it ties in with my perceptions of his relationship early on with Cynthia, where he was 'grounded' in normalcy, albeit he was struggling constantly with so many mega forces from his early childhood through to the end; thank goodness for May and Cynthia who provide these wonderful insights into who this Beatle was that was behind the Beatles we saw and heard;

I have all the time in the world for May. She seems like someone you could really talk to about anything, it's clear why John loved her. I'm very glad that John had this happy period with her in his short life, and I wish they could have had the chance to see the relationship through. But I guess what Ono started Ono also wanted to finish. She doesn't care about anyone else's feelings.

[@TheBeatlesWoW]

She came over as a superb source when I interviewed May for my channel a few days ago

[@heyday179]

john didn't love her for very long. he left her to go back to his wife who is who he loved all along, so what are you talking about,

[@LittleWing1985]

​@@heyday179yoko set up the whole relationship and was adamant that it was going to be a thing. But once she saw John getting along great without her, she snatched him right back. I don't think she expected him to be able to do without her and be so happy and serious with someone else who was just meant to be a fling during their trial separation. It got her attention really quick.

Yes, I thought the interviewer behaved as though no one could see her. I don't know what she was looking at to her left, a clock, a screen?

Very informative interview, even though it comes off more like an interrogation. I had the opportunity to have a brief chat with May in New York only last week, at a meet and greet, and for May Pang fans out there Im happy to confirm that in person she is much prettier, possessing a natural charm and sparkle than the brutal aesthetics of the internet allow! Looking forward to checking out the film. 👍

[@circussounds855]

Who is this person interviewing? She doesn’t seem the type that one would warm up to that’s for sure. She doesn’t seem to pay attention most of the time even tho she inserts opinions & assumptions. Her eyes are all over the place. In fact the more the interview goes on the more annoying she becomes. eek!

[@TheBeatlesWoW]

When I interviewed May she was so warm and co-operative.. the perfect guest

[@charwest9449]

The myth of John rekindling the relationship with Yoko at Madison Square Gardens was just Yoko PR. In May's book she details how John had stopped taking Yoko's calls, and given her crappy seats to his concert, despite her hounding him for better seats for weeks. May was Johns lady and Yoko was just FIRMLY the ex.

[@Chinachik]

When you examine how narcissists conduct relationships with others, it's very clear that John was trapped in an emotionally abusive and manipulative relationship with a narcissist. All the classic signs are there, right down to how she did her best to dominate his life and cut everybody else out of it. Some Yoko defenders attack me for saying this and scream, "John was a grown man who loved her!! He wanted to be with her!!!" And I'm not saying he didn't. Truth be told, John put up this big front of being confident and macho and so determined to be free, but he was a child who'd been abandoned by his father then his mother, and was raised by very strong, controlling woman. It's the only thing he knew. He couldn't function with Cyn because she was allowing him to be the boss and be in control, and secretly, he feared having the control in a relationship. He was too insecure to take total control in any relationship. That's why Yoko appealed to him. She love-bombed him initially with constant attention, which he also craved because of his childhood abandonment from his parents....and then, like Aunt Mimi, she took over to become the boss and he allowed it because that's what he knew and was most comfortable with. Sadly, it's very hard for a person to escape a relationship with a narcissist for that very reason. Fear of the unknown and/or the unfamiliar.

[@marksimons4108]

@@Chinachik Also its worth adding Johns sister Julia Baird said in a recent interview that Johns mum Julia was small and diminutive with slightly slanted eyes like Yoko who John called mother too!So it was a psychiatrists dream!I often wonder why yoko did an interview where she mentioned the route her and John took from the dakota to the recording studio especially after being over 5 years out of the music business and even the head of security wanted more staff which she refused! Very strange!

[@Chinachik]

@@marksimons4108 Very strange indeed. I remember there was talk of possible conspiracies immediately after John’s murder, including a recording of a conversation he’d had with Jack Douglas that night, something that scared Jack so much he erased the tapes after finding out about the shooting at The Dakota. That whole night and some of the events surrounding it were very disturbing to me. It was horrible and not something I will ever forget.

[@lindajones8101]

I find that May is rambling as well. So far after several minutes, we’re still on the first part of their relationship, where they get set up by Yoko. Pang‘s book, which I just finished reading today, shows a woman who is very observant and intuitive about people, and she understood others as well as John. The book often made me tense, because May will take you through conversations in which John twists and turns in his emotions and his reactions and his words but in the end, she always seems to come in with her ability to see why he was acting that way, and how damaged he was.

[@5thdimension625]

I fully agree, I hope she learns from this feedback but it’s unlikely. She’s highly self consumed ( head tilting, and looking away as if she’s taking cues from someone) and comes across as aloof and arrogant especially toward Mae. She’s also over talkative and likes to hear herself talk. Again, unlikable features.

[@KatieJo-u8v]

Good interview with May. I read her book years ago and and always rooted for her. My heart breaks that May couldn't find closure..it IS a very hard situation, especially when the one you love dies. This interview would have been much better if this hadn't of been a split screen as the interviewer appeared bored and put out a bored and rude vibe. We all wanted to see May, not watch an interviewer roll her eyes and look around the room. She should have read up more on her subject, before the interview.

[@leeannasloan2292]

I agree. I would have been hanging on every word may said, not playing with my bangs and staring at the walls and fidgeting in my seat...may is an amazing interview. May has so many stories to tell if only someone would as her..I mean Phill Spector In the studio, coversations with Linda McCartney and yoko Ono and Cynthia Lennon, and members of Elton's band...she was the fly on the wall for music history and has a very unique story.

[@MrModel--CAPTURED-ON-FILM]

I used to attend small music meetings in NYC that were hosted by the top people in the music biz. Several had worked with John & Yoko - and had a lot to say. Including how Yoko would telephone them 'after' midnight to discuss business deals and contracts. His wife would say, after he'd hung up with Yoko, "Yoko again?" She was a pistol and known for it.

[@seventhfirestephanie8740]

To me, Yoko always came off as a quirky sweet little innocent Japanese lady, but that is farthest from the truth.

[@EricVoegelin]

What a strange voyage this woman has been on. I'm glad she's getting her story on record in more detail as the end of her life comes into view. She's doing all future Beatles scholars a service. She reminds me of Tippi Hedrin, who did film historians a service in telling her Hitchcock story. Hopefully, "the woman must be quiet about the great man who shaped their youth and then did them wrong" paradigm is coming to an end. Time will tell.

Thank you May Pang! So much love to you! That would have been so great if John and May had met with Paul and Linda in New Orleans and done some recording during Venus and Mars sessions. I don't blame Yoko for breaking up the Beatles but I do blame Yoko for keeping Paul away from John.
