show.

Read their Playboy interview, for example. Or see the above link to
the Yoko documentary.

doesn't matter what you read. A writer doesn't know anything about

but the facts are the
facts, and I just stated them.-

Well, it's the truth. John stated to the world in 1969, that he loved
Yoko. Of course, he took a 5 year break from music in 1975, and 5
years later he makes his
last album with her, so I believe him.

You have no respect for John..to say that he was ignorant of a lot of

John Lennon.

Whatever he was, he was..but the fact still remains that John stayed
with Yoko up until his death. His drug use is pure speculation on your
part of why he didn't
leave her. The fact remains that he stayed with her. You didn't live
in their house..so you don't know much about their marriage, or how
his drug use effected
him..IF he was still taking drugs. This is just speculation on your
part. Would someone be able to portray your life correctly? No. People
have private lives, right?

John did make some important choices; however if you read enough
biographies, interviews, etc. he obviously made some really stupid
choices. Not everything John did was wise or admirable, and he'd be
the first to admit it.

Personally, I think he was emotionally disturbed. (Ringo himself said
John was a great guy but he could be crazy at times)
