![]() ![]() In 1964, two years before she met John Lennon, Yoko Ono exhibited Cut Piece, one of the earliest works of feminist performance art. But John is more at fault in that situation than Yoko is.Get Back, Yoko Ono, and the Art of Performance So even in that scenario, Yoko shouldn’t have said anything really. But even then, it’s not like she was forcing John to stay quiet either… she was only speaking for him because John wasn’t speaking for himself in the first place. ![]() Where it’s described as Yoko was speaking for John the entire time. The only time that I’ve seen so far where she was really way out of line was the meeting with George (not shown in the show). He probably would have kept leaving early or coming late to visit with her which would have absolutely made the others angry. Honestly if John hadn’t allowed her to come, I actually think things would have been a lot worse. It honestly just seems like John and Yoko were deeply in love with one another and didn’t want to be apart. For all the talk of Yoko being a negative presence in the studio during this recording process, I though this show really turned that idea upside down on its head. I was honestly surprised to see how much she minded her own business despite sitting next to John the entire time. But she only seemed to do those during breaks and downtime in the studio. Like when she would get on the mic and do her screeching bits. Don’t get me wrong, there were absolutely some bits that were annoying as fuck and I am really curious to know exactly what the other Beatles thought at times. ![]() The reason the Beatles split was because they had suffer enough and could not figure out how to continue as a group without Brian Epstein. Hopefully this rewrites history a little bit, and the "Beatles experts" that blamed Yoko are put in their place. But the English press blamed Yoko for everything, blame the foreigner! Same with Edward and Mrs Simpson, the press blamed the foreigners for the Kings decision. ![]() It feels quite an "English" thing to do, the four split because they couldn't cope without Brian managing the group. Was Yoko a bad influence, yes but John was more responsible for the split than Yoko. It could be John was spaced out on drugs and didn't care any more, but that's on John not Yoko. The eye opener was that Paul and John were the main creatives throughout the Beatles, but we see John taking a back seat in the film. Paul ended up taking some of the fatherly role and that brought a lot of tension into the band. There is a part at the end where she gets on the mic and "sings" but that is after the split.įor me, the division came when Brian Epstein died and the four had no one to herd them together. I've watch the first episode, Yoko didn't do much to get in the way. Loving the series!! Hope you’re all enjoying it too. It annoys me because she obviously seen herself as an artist and it feels like she’s just riding the bands coat tails to stay relevant. Why? I heard he had mummy issues so maybe he couldn’t say no to her…… I love my partner to death but if she asked to come to work with me I’d laugh historically, kiss her on cheek and say something like “you’re funny, I’ll see you tonight” grab my shit and hit the door! But Lennon actually entertained this woman. Their Mrs are no where to be seen? Why? Because who the fuck takes their Mrs to work!?! What is she doing there? I had to bite my tongue at the start of the episode when she refers to the Beatles as “we” meaning she must have seen herself as one of them! □īear in mind at this point Paul, George and Ringo are married or pretty much on the verge of being married themselves. I’ve literally paused the episode to come here and rant about her. Just seeing her sat in the studio while the lads are recording was the final nail in the coffin for me.
