“The concept is very good,” John replied, “and I actually went through that and said, ‘Well, okay, let them sit on my lawn.’ But then people just climb in the house and smash things up, and you think, ‘That’s no good, that’s not going to work.’ So actually you wind up saying, Don’t talk to me, really. We’re all trying to say nice things, but ninety percent of the time we can’t make it, and the odd time that we do make it work is when we’re all doing it together as people.

But unfortunately we’re human, you know.”

It was, of course, the girl who came to stay who would become his life-teacher and soul guide.

Simply, Yoko enabled John to become who he was.

For our last number, I’d like to ask your help. The people in the cheap seats, clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you’d just rattle your jewelry

“I can’t wake you up,” John Lennon once said. “You can wake you up.”

We were a wizard and a witch In a moment of freedom.
