2018-12: Como Yoko perseguiu

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6460947/How-Yoko-Ono-relentlessly-pursued-John-Lennon.html

Citando:
"John Lennon became mesmerized by Yoko Ono after she set her sights on him, writes author Ray Connolly in new book  Being John Lennon: A Restless Life

Yoko was aggressive, constantly badgering John with letters and appearing at places he was


Yoko broke into 'the orbit of the Beatles' after meeting John at the Indica Gallery in London, where she was preparing for a show the next day


'From the very beginning of her career, she understood the power of networking and self-promotion; especially self-promotion,' according to Connolly


John 'felt that she was the star and he the audience', never had he met anyone like this 'odd little Japanese woman dressed in her black intellectual's uniform'


Yoko was writing letters to John, getting under his skin and was everywhere he was, even showing up at a meeting with a yogi in the Indian Himalayas


Yoko and John became inseparable and he insisted Yoko be at all sessions - inhibiting to the other Beatles and driving a wedge between John and Paul  


Their relationship became strained by 1972 and Yoko decided to get John a mistress - May Pang, 22, a Chinese girl who had been working for the couple"

Citando:
"We were in Canada when John Lennon told me he’d left The Beatles. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
It was just before Christmas 1969, and a few nights earlier, while discussing his Beatles’ song lyrics on the phone, he’d suddenly invited me to join him and Yoko in Toronto, where he was going to meet Canada’s Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau.
So, there I soon was being driven through snow-covered Canadian fields to the home of rock singer Ronnie Hawkins, where John and Yoko were staying."
