I'm not in the anti-Yoko camp, but I do know May. Money was not her

No, fame, and self aggrandization were her motives. Still are.

Hey, Lucy... Did you ever, even once, have a heart-to-heart talk with
her? Do you know her values? If not, then maybe you should think twice
before assuming what her motives might have been.

Oh yeah I know her values alright - $$$$$ and fucking married men. She
is a celebrity flytrap. It has been over 35 years it is time for her
to move on. She told her story already big whoop. It is old news but
she still feels she has something to "prove".
She keeps trying to prove her involvement with Lennon was more then
the "short term-set up by the wife-arrangement" that it was. It never
was more then that and never will be. She was nothing more than an
assignment. But neither her nor you her favorite sychophant can see
past your starry eyed fantasy that it MUSt have meant more. YAWN.

Okay, Lucy, I guess you know all things. <eyeroll>

So what's YOUR personal motivation for always trashing her here and on
other sites?

To keep the masses from believing her bull*** and lies.

Sorry to say that, by the way you write, I don't think most people would
take your word for it. You obviously have some personal vendetta going.- Hide quoted text -

The fact is is that MAY lies constantly. Her own current interviews
contradict her own book.

In what way? Be specific.- Hide quoted text -

Sure, In a recent interview on May's web site she stated that John got
drunk only twice when they were together. In her book, May states over
SIX occurances of John being violently drunk.- Hide quoted text -

I've gone through the interviews on May's site, and cannot find any
such statement. Please provide the specific quotation - or at least
tell me which of the recent interviews it's in.- Hide quoted text -

Ok. Here you go...three examples with links of May denying her own
book's accounts of John's drunken binges. In her book Loving John, she
states many many more examples of his drinking and violence towards
her and others. I do not have the book with me at the moment, but
would be happy to provide the pages numbers and direct quotes of her
OWN ACCOUNTS that dispute the "spin" she is trying to portray in these
following examples.

From May Pangs Interview with Gary James...

But the time period everybody talks about, oh, he was so drunk when he
was with May. But what people don't realize is, that's just the party
line that went out. How many times did he really get drunk that you
read about?

Q - I only read about the incident at The Troubadour when The Smothers
Brothers were performing and John was in the audience, yelling up
comments to The Smothers Brothers.

A - Exactly right. That's the one that keeps cropping up. But, thats
the only one.

AND

From May Pangs Website under Press releases Stepping Out Magazine

Article...

Was John an angry drunk?

Here we go again. Everybody thinks that he was always drinking. But he
wasn't. The crazy things you read about John's drinking only happened
two or three times. That was it. But the press keeps dragging it up
because that's the way people wanted to see him at that time.

AND

From Interview August 2005

They think he was just down-and-out drunk all the time. The press is
at fault as are other people who like to perpetuate that myth - and
even John himself for saying certain things he had to say.

E.C.: But he wouldn't have been able to make such a great album (WALLS
AND BRIDGES) if he had been soused all the time?

May Pang: Oh absolutely! Yes, we went out a couple of times - and when
you're hanging out with Harry Nilsson or Jesse Ed Davis it could
become a difficult situation. They were very strong figures and they
loved drinking and doing other things. The newspaper is not going to
sell as well with Harry Nilsson, especially when you've got John
Lennon sitting next to you! You know, we've gone out, John and myself,
and had a couple of glasses of wine - but you don't hear about that
because nothing happened. It's when he hung out with the guys on only
two occasions when it got a bit rowdy. But they take those two
incidents and make it appear that this was John for the whole time.

But in the message you posted yesterday at 2:12 PM, you said: "In a
recent interview on May's site she stated that John got drunk only
twice when they were together."

Now, in response to my request for quotations to that effect, you
present quotes from May concerning John's *public drunken episodes* -
or, in the words May uses in one of your quotations, "the crazy things
you read about" - such as the Troubadour incidents.

There *are* more than two episodes of drunkenness on Lennon's part
described in May's book. But most of them - with the exception of the
Troubadour Incidents - were private. We'd never know about them if it
weren't for her book.

May guilty of no contradiction on this count.- Hide quoted text -

- Show quoted text -

The contradiction is that May is ONLY addressing the public ones and
passing them off as the ONLY times it happened.
The interviewers are not asking her "How many times did John get
drunk in public" they asked her to explain why people think he was
always drunk during his time with her? It is her own fault that people
think he was drunk all the time with her because this is what she put
in her book. She herself has outlined month by month during the lost
weekend all the times he was drunk and violent. So what if they were
private. SHE MADE THEM PUBLIC.
