Interview....

All you need is love.

46 years ago the Beatles gave their last concert on the roof of their company Apple Records wich was in the number 3 of Saville Row street in central London. The band plaid until the complaints from neighbours led the police to interrupt the concert. Songs like “let it be” or “for you blue” were played. The concert is remembered until our days as a new music revolution.

Reality leaves a lot to the imagination

Yeah we all shine on, like the moon, and the stars, and the sun.

The first day in which The Beatles played in Spain was in Madrid to the second of June of 1965. Only 5.000 people went to the concert to see them in the plaza of the bulls in “Las Ventas”. Many people couldn’t go because of the control of the police or because their parents didn’t let them. John Lennon was the one incharge of singing that night. The people who went to see them said there was many police control surrounding the “Las Ventas” but also many stations of the subway. Days before the concert a group of fans of The Beatles destroyed many things of the surroundings where they where going to act because they thought the ones who were going to act was an American  group and not the Beatles. The price of the entries were 400 pesetas if you wanted to sit in a chair and 75 if you wanted to sit in the sand.

Live sound was bad, maybe it was because teams of sound were Spanish. But finally the concert was amazing.

“Count your age by friends, not years. Count your life by smiles, not tears.”

The Quarrymen was a British bans originally formed in Liverpool (1956). Three of the members of The Beatles participated in John Lennon´s out band The Quarrymen (John, Paul McCartney, George Harrison)

But before the band was name The Quarrymen they were The Blackjacks because there was another band with the same name, so Pete Shotton suggested renaming the group The Quarrymen.

His first recordings were the song “ That Be the Day” and “In Spite of All the Danger”, composed by Harrison and Paul. When Stuart  joined the group, it was renamed The Beetles, but more later the name change to The Silver Beetles, to be called in 1960 The Beatles.

A dark past...

    Many people have a dark past and John is not the exception.

According to a document published in 1968 by the assistant to his house (when he was married whit Cynthia) he was an aggressive father, he aggressively reprimanded his son that was only five years old.

Also shows how he easily abused about narcotics which made him more violent and unpredictable. She also met John in the bed with Yoko on a day that Cynthia wasn´t in home because she was travelling.

In the document she said that: 

• “The atmosphere seems to have changed, there seems to be more tension. Mrs Lennon is often depressed and unhappy”
•  “ This behavior started afew months after he started using drugs” 
•  “I know because I began to find drugs in various parts of the house. It was clear to me that Mr Lennon smoking marijuana. We all expected it to be a phase”

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

Five things wich maybe you didn´t know about John Lennon:

1)      The first thing John learned to play wasn´t a guitar, his uncle gave him a harmonica. More later his mother Julia, introduced him to the banjo

2)      Curiously he was the last Beatle to learn drive, he began at 24 years and the people said that he was a terrible driver.

3)      John bought a small island where he let a litter community of hippies live. When he died, Yoko sold it for 30000 pounds.

4)      He was the only one who never went to Paul concert.

5)      Nobody know where are the ashes of John Lennon. When he died his ashes where given to  Yoko and she never told where she spread them. But  it is possible she spad them in Central Park

The lost weekend

May Pang: May was the personality assistant of John for three years. Yoko confessed that she and John lived a separate season and suggested that began a relationship with him. In that moment May was 22 years and this proposition was unexpected for her.

She and John began a relationship that lasted 18 months (Jon more later about this season said that was his “lost weekend”). In 1974 John and May didn`t want answer calls by Ono but in 1975 he agree to meet with she. After that meeting, John didn`t return with May and said that the separation with Yoko had finished.
