Act Like Everything is Normal Yoko

Steve, you're a better man than I am. I couldn't make it to the part where she stops. 51 seconds and I was out of there.

You know, as I listened to it all the way through, I began to really enjoy it as a glimpse of those moments we never get to see. Paul seemed miserable to me, not sure, but I don't think he was into this much...and I really loved to watch John wave his Casino at his Fender amp and have better luck than Paul conjuring feedback, while Yoko rips out these powerful crazy hilarious wails. I hate to see junk in action, though. John and Yoko certainly shared intense love at this time period, but it smells like heroin, and it's sad to see the band slip away like this.

It's interesting how the band managed to do an eight or ten hour documentary, or an hour or more on every year the band was under contract, without mentioning the small fact that one of its members was likely under the influence of H.

Makes you realize just how hard it was to be Paul back then.

Well, kinda looks like they were goofing off a bit. Come on! I'm sure most of us on this forum have been in some noise jams at some point!

My experience with musicians on drugs has been that they don't show up, and when they do, it can be difficult. At least Lennon is there. Of course, from many accounts it was difficult...

John may have taken Primal Scream Therapy in 1970, but Yoko obviously started much earlier.

Paul may have been in a difficult situation, but Let It Be was his idea.

I couldn't handle it. Paul's little experimentation with Hofner/Bassman feedback prolly sounded better than her.

I replayed the 'Sweet Toronto' DVD again this weekend. At the beginning of the show, Lennon looks slightly annoyed when Yoko starts interjecting screeches into various songs. Then he seems resigned to the fact that he and Eric Clapton will need to back her up on two long jams. If Eric wasn't sick from the heroin, he had to be wondering how he ended up as a sideman to Yoko.

The way Ringo is drumming in the black and white part, it's almost like a parade on drugs; I keep expecting to see blue meanies marching around.

I keep expecting to see blue meanies marching around, too, but let's limit the political talk...

Hey Howard, would that have been a 'deedly snike'?

And just for the record, Primal Scream Therapy is an outrageous load...
