Celebrities – For 40 years Yoko Ono has kept a silent dignity in the face of global vilification meted out by legions of Beatles fans. But today, in an emotional interview, she reveals the last words her husband John Lennon uttered moments before he was gunned down on a New York street in 1980 by Mark Chapman.
Wow, thats rather harsh.
John was always my fav. Beatle, outspoken, intelligent and wasn't into commercialism.His involment with Yoko was his buisness, no one elses and obviously he saw in her something he loved, good for him.
"John was always my fav. Beatle, outspoken, intelligent and wasn't into commercialism."
JOhn also was a big time hypocrite. I remember Eric Clapton saying how hypocritical he tought it was when he participated in a big concert in Toronto, John was preaching about peace and anti-materialism and commercialism yet was totally aloof, parading around in limos and completely out of touch.
It often reminds me of today's entertainers when they start preaching politics. The recent blow up regarding Sheryl Crow is a perfect example.
Well, Lennon and Ono's son is SEAN LENNON. He is a talented musician-but he does not seem interested in following in his father's larger than life footsteps. JULIAN LENNON is John's son with his first wife Cynthia. And I am a fan of Yoko's art myself. She is a brilliant artist in her own right,as was her husband. Julian's music I can live without.

That's your opinion and little else. BTW what did your son do?
How many kids of some entertainer could not make it, cause the public was wanting the parent and not the kid? It is harder for the child of someone famous to make it in the biz than anyone else. The bar is already set for them and people, mostly are like little children. Already have their mind made up and they wont change.
Actually what you are saying is still wrong. Count the amount that have made it compaired to the ones who have not. You are going to find that you are in the wrong because the numbers do not add up. And there were some who had real talent but they still had a last name that they could not get away from.
If he would have never married her he wouldn't have been shot. Wierdness breeds even more wierdernest.
That's just STUPID. He wasn't shot because he married someone YOU or Paul McCartney didn't approve of. He was shot because Mark Chapman is crazy and crazy people sometimes obsess about celebrities. Was is Rebecca Shaeffer's fault she was shot? Was it Teresa Saldana'a fault she was stabbed? Is David Letterman encouraging that wack-job to break into his house repeatedly? People in the public eye can become targets for nuts and for the judgement of people like you who think they are entitled to decide who they should or should not marry or love.
yoko has really gotten a bad rap in the press..she doesnt come off well on camera at all as well as being blamed for breaking up the beatles..that aside i find a lot of her art very quirky and interesting..some not so much--her music is very japanese which most western ears have a hard time appreciating..very atonal..no melody..i dont care much for it--but the shrieking screaming sort of singing is very popular there..as well as hong kong--i had the pleasure of meeting her several times years ago and she is very different in person than her public image here--very pleasent ,easy to talk to,not some weird devil woman--i dont believe she ever wanted to be or understood what being mrs lennon was to so many--she came from a very private wealthy family and was very successful on her own raising cattle--sean used to rattle around the j-pop world some..ciba mato..shonen knife..havent heard anything from him in some time tho--and what could possibly motivate someone to sink this story??
Don't forget Yoko was an established anti-establishment artist in London when Lennon met her. It must have taken a particularly tough and determined young Japanese lady to achieve that sort of fame in 1960s London. Lennon was attracted by her art before he actually met her.
Yes, her musical contribution was/is difficult to unravel. I was once driving home through this Japanese city, some years ago when I saw a billboard outside the local "Bottom Line",(Recently opened, at that time). It said "Playing tonight: Sean & Yoko Lennon". I was in two minds whether to stop and buy a ticket, but the traffic was thick, so I drove on by. Always regretted that.
John Lennon was ahead of his time and knew the pitfalls of Nationalistic ideology. It pervades all nations and Bush is the point man for this thought. Yes, its been a long time since his murder but the conservatives have benefitted. Ongoing deaths, wars and misery is a human need, I guess so what is, is.
It's funny. You can always count on the Neo-Cons to come busting out on any dead "percieved" progressives to hammer home their insidious dogma. They're always eager to discredit anyone who hoped for a better future that doesn't involve murder, money, or religious conflict. Sad, sad people. To them, everyone's hypocritical. There are no good peple to them, only hypocrites in disguise.

"I said 'shall we go and have dinner before we go home?' and John said 'No, let's go home because I want to see Sean before he goes to sleep'," Ono, 73, told Kirsty Young on 'Desert Island Discs'.
Young then asked Ono if Lennon had said anything after he was shot, to which she replied in almost a whisper: "No."
