I think its a disgrace how he treated them to leave them a pittance considering how much he had .
I'm positive that Yoko controls his estate.
he was a tight ass mommy's boy, a real wanker. BTW that place he lived in in NY was where rosemary's baby was filmed, and is a satanic ass wipes wet dream. time to WAKE UP ppl, i grew up with [ the Beatles ] one of the greatest pysos ever pulled, it was better than the bloody moon landing. but keep worshipping you tinpot gods, the cover these turds made with the meat and the toy babies?? think Epstein, its worse than anyone could [ IMAGINE ] sick ass heads.
Fucn dirtbag for abandoning them
It's sad that the caravan was neglected and abandoned. Sadly I think it exemplifies John's relationship with Cynthia and Julian.
I was waiting for someone to say that so I wouldn't have to. I agree 100%.
@@StrangeHistoryX I know what you are saying because we love John so much but we still have to acknowledge his behaviour. At least we can half forgive him as he had an even situation with his father leaving and mother killed. Paul must have provided family values and friendship that he was longing for. Now there I go again making it about John when the subject should be about Julian. The Caravan really got the brain thinking.
Plus you don't want to offend potential future connections in the Beatles universe. Especially surviving posse members of the Beatles known insiders
And perhaps the reason why Julian himself would pass on owning it---a tangible reminder of a tumultuous personal period for himself, and his beloved mother.
Fantastic! I never heard anything about this gypsy caravan 😊
Really? That's cool. I am so glad I was able to share this then. Thanks for watching.
Same here. Im surprised john had a home life. I thought he was with the beatles recording 8 days a week!
I'm not 4 years old anymore and I still want one 😂
Me, too!
I think the caravan should be in a Beatles museum
I agree. That would be great.
As well as the psychadelic rolls royce john had
Fantastic pictures and narration as usual! Loved the story on the Gypsy Caravan!!! So much here, but a few random comments: For those who are not mega Beatle fans, Weybridge (Kenwood) is where John wrote many songs and also where Paul often visited John and the two would collaborate on songs in those years. I believe John sold Kenwood in 1968 - does anyone know to whom it was sold?
Yes, it's "whom" , not "who" :)
The settlement that John gave Cynthia is despicable! Ditto for how he treated Julian. She was with Lennon when he had nothing. He should have given her millions , and specially provide for Julian. Julian has mentioned in interviews the trust his father left him, but don't recall him ever mention it being shared with any future half siblings. It may be true, but doesn't really make sense....presumably, Lennon would simply provide separately for any future children his fathered. Who knows?
Lennon was a genius, but from Cynthia's comments, and others that knew him well, he was a sometimes, angry and very insecure person - made far worse by Yoko who only sought to control him...which I think he actually wanted. Geniuses are not always the nicest people. In his case, you need to appreciate the art and look past the artist.
I think the $100000 being shared with future siblings was probably Yoko Ono’s doing.
She seemed to be vindictive and spiteful towards Cynthia and Julian.
This was a seriously brilliant and informative video presented in a zany and unique style, thanks for making this!
My pleasure! Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate them.
He was a douchbag for treating his family that way, History repeats as he was abandoned at five years old too ( like Julian)
..i heard Julians mom talk about how they had to live after john died. It was worse when the media found out
Beautiful pictures! That was a stunning picture of the Dakota thru the trees. The strange lifestyle of celebrities is fascinating yet surreal to me. Thanks for sharing your never ending knowledge with us!
Thank you. I took that photo myself. I've got a zillion photos I took of the Dakota. Some never seen. I'll show more.
@@StrangeHistoryX sounds great!
amazing details and an emotional experience to see the photos so sharp ... thank you !
well said thank you for sharing! I wholeheartedly agree ❤
Ringo got smart and started to “ invest” in properties that he bought restored and sold again for much more money 💰 and made himself a fortune besides his Beatle royalties, etc.
Cynthia was a very beautiful voluptuous woman in her youth, she was really a good catch and wife for John, but I guess Yoko stole John from her and the rest was history. Now this makes more sense about the colorful Art work to his things, like his car, guitar, clothes, Caravan and probably the mystery tour album.
John Lennon treated Cynthia and his son Julian disgracefully. A horrible side to his character.
..the idea of having replica caravans to raise money for charity or something...as well as the VR idea with narration by Julian Lennon is pure gold Beatle Brilliant!!! Why hasnt yoko done anything to change anything or for a doctors without Borders cause is beyond me!
The last article I read is that in 2012 it was handed over to the Delight Makers who are restoring it. I love caravans in general and I hope they will restore it as it was and according to the chairman of the charity, they plan to use it to tour it around This was an article from Surrey Live an online article. Thank you for Indepth videos.
John gave his wife a pittance. He should be embarrassed. He had way more money that he would have ever spent. He wouldnt have missed the money, and embarrassed and humiliated himself. Cynthia was with him before he was famous.. yoko acting like she didnt know who he was is exactly the same as meghan markle saying she didnt know about prince harry before they met. Meghan and Yoko are compared accurately as these women playing the narcissistic abuse game always segregate their target way from friends, family, bandmates, wives, their country, and their former life be it the beatles or the royal family. This is how gold diggers roll. Look how (un)happy harry is now!! She makes yoko seem tolerable!
Also, this was very informative, I didn't know Ringo bought John's old home" and owned it for a period. I'm learning. Good job video guy, sorry I didn't catch your name. 🎉
Yeah, Ringo bought Tittenhurst. Interestingly, Ringo bought Peter Seller's mansion, and when John Lennon found out he offered Peter Seller's more money for it, but Peter refused. That's some cold thing to try to do to a friend.
Paul has admitted that he met her first and she tried to get hand written lyrics to a Beatles song to raise money for some supposed Art group but he didn't want to give one up and said I know someone who might. Maybe she was hoping to get Paul first cause he was the one involved in the avant garde Art scene
Yoko def knew who he was. She tried to come on Paul and he dodged that bullet. What im curious and talking serious....how did yoko bewitch john?
I say that because she was into the occult and what man just lets the women wear the pants in the relationship and takes orders like a dog??...no one! He even stopped writing books once he met her. In the end..for a rich person ..he was looking real bad health wise. He was looking 60 for a 40yr old!
@@StrangeHistoryX interesting. He did seem cold hearted, maybe not with fans or the public but with family and very close friends, he did some not kind things to those who loved and respected him.
The "four thousand pounds for the caravan referred to the COST of the vehicle, not the WEIGHT. £4,000 which I believe was about $2,000 at the time. I remember it being commissioned, built and painted and I had a different newspaper article at the time about the flower power event written in The Observer Sunday Colour Supplement. I think it was written by Hunter Davis, the first official biographer, of the Beatles.
Poor little Julian. I adore all 4 Fabs, but really... John & Yoko were greedy. First they steal Julian's 4th birthday gift, then they abandon it, let it rot, then Ringo even profits from Julian's 4th birthday gift.... 😢 No wonder Julian looks so sad...
The female in “the fool” was prominently displayed in the promotional film for the Beatles song, a Day in the life
The only way a woman would let her husband have a side kick with another woman is if she really doesn’t give a real d about him and that she wants to have a relationship with another man herself, and that’s what Yoko did at that time , it didn’t work out for Yoko with another man, he just wanted to bd friends with benefits with her and not to marry her., so that’s why she accepted John back into her life.
I WAS 17 AND MY FRIENDS AND I FOUND KENWOOD IT WAS BEAUTIFUL THE CARAVAN WAS IN THE BOTTOMOF THE GARDEN AND IS ROLLS WAS IN THE GARAGE IT WAS A DIFFERENT WORLD AND MY 15 MINUTES OF FAME....🙏🌈🎶
Seeing these old photos of John, Cyn and Julian makes me sad. Its been said that John abandonded them not only physically but financially. Yet Cynthia didnt sue John for child support or alimony? Why?
I think she felt overwhelmed and intimidated by John's lawyers.
I would doubt Julian gives a rats about that caravan, he’s a grown man with his own life & this caravan is just a small part of his childhood many years ago. Time moves on & so do we. I doubt there are many pleasant memories attached.
Romany Gypsy caravans didn't really become popular in England until the late 1800s. Prior to that Gypsies had lived in large dome-shaped tents made from tarpaulins. They sometimes lived in housing over the winter time.
Excellent documentary ~~ John’s Life extremely complicated ~~ Julian is his living image !! 🍀👏🍀💚
Today , that Beatles back panel could cost about between half to one million dollars 💸
Just my two cents...but it seems that John was more comfortable with a Mimi version of a woman in his life than Cynthia who always put him first. Paul said that Cynthia told him that she just wanted to be there when John got home to put on his slippers and serve him a homemade meal. Paul thought to himself...uh-oh...that's not what John wants. I think Paul would have liked that, though. Cynthia said in her book that she "wished John would have looked at me the way he looked at Paul."
Good points. I agree. He could have used a bit of stability in his life. Because without Cynthia, his life spiraled out of control ... heroin ... alcohol abuse ... screaming therapy ... constantly searching for happiness ... when in the end he realized ... being HOME ... with his son .... and wife ... was where happiness truly was. So he went full circle. But by that time he found what he was looking for, it didn't last.
@@StrangeHistoryX spot on! Love your channel!
Strange History X: thanks for posting. At 29:31: looks like another day in paradise for Phil Collins. Cheers!🥨
John looks like he just wrote "Cold Turkey" on here.
Many including me would buy the kenwood house in a heart beat if the next owner kept Jonn’s interior design but sadly he decided to destroyed all of it and un-tastefully redesigned it it looks very boring and in bad taste design now. No surprise he couldn’t find a buyer
Great video. This prompted me to also wonder what happened to the large Cuban Heel Beatle Boot, from the Help! Paul shrinking scene, that Lennon took a shine to and had installed in his garden at Kenwood. I guess it wasn't very weather proof and probably rotted away.
I was thinking: why would I care about this.... and yet I watched the whole thing! I also learned more fab 4 history. I feel sorry for Julian. He looks like a sad boy trying to connect with his father.
I am glad you cared enough too watch it all. :)
@@StrangeHistoryX me too! It was really well made and full of information that I did not know! Thanks!
This is a fascinating story! Please keep us informed if somebody gets in touch with you with more information! I would love to have the caravan restored and put to use for charity! A fantastic idea!
Will do! It would be cool if they contact me. Maybe we can all help to do something.
A museum
👍👍👍👍👍😎
John Lennon and myself had the exact same UFO experience....No bs
Like so much after Yoko came into John's life......things guttered over in England.
She wanted New York for her art exhibition and a place to control John in. She clears out of England, away from John's former life and family and friends,moving to NY,where she controls every aspect of John's life....
Which is pretty much.....The End.....for John in short order.
Now, as Paul's Luck would have it.....Yoko is his partner in..... The Beatle business.
Cunning little,...... Screwed!
If only they made a law like the succession of the throne with Kings, it goes to the eldest son instead of the wife and so much trouble and heartache would be avoided on this world. With people marrying for money and breaking up families etc. If it all went to the eldest child at lesst most of the time trouble would be avoided as the wife would be the childs mother so who wouldn't see their own mother ok.
Crazy thing is, he met her first and sent her John's way and apparently had a hand in his going back to her and she was waiting for him in the audience to ambush him while he performed I saw her standing there and whatever gets you through the night with Elton John
@@cutekanjii my brother is the first male after 3 girls and he lives downtown homeless on heroin and he robbed me of at least $80,000 dollars worth of my extensive Record and memorabilia collection and that was in about 1991 I had everything especially Beatles every pressing promos picture sleeves Butcher cover toys Elvis Buddy Gene Eddie Stones Kinks Cramps autographed promo photos all sold for $600 for a couple of 8 balls of coke and heroin.after that all six kids got just roughly under $60,000 inheritance and had he gotten it all a couple of dealers would have been able to buy a house each
The Brown house had six bedrooms and only two bathrooms ... times have changed!
JULIEN WANTED HIS FATHER THIS WASA MESSAGE TO JOHN BUT HE IGNORED THE MESSAGE, THANKYOU FOR THE ANIMALS
Awesome videos you are putting out - thank you! Looking forward to all things Kenwood, Tittenhurst and Dakota - ok, in fact all Beatles:). All the best to you!
Glad you like them! I've got a zillion more on their way. Thanks for being here.
I would love to see this caravan made in a cast iron model about a foot long as to the original one that John purchased, with all the trimmings and colors and inside furnishings, movable and functional even with a white horse pulling it too! I would definitely buy one to keep and to past down to my family or friends, and to display in my own home for looks, show and something to chat about with my invited guests !
That would be cool! I wan tone, too!
Tony Cox felt Lennon and Ono were unfit parents and “kidnapped” Kyoko which the Lennon’s spent millions to retrieve but ultimately Kyoko did NOT want to live with the Lennon’s
I think that it should be returned to Julian
Also, the Great Storm sounds like the Derecho we experienced here in the Midwest a few years ago. Strange…
Wow - what an amazing video! I thought I knew a lot about the Beatles but there was so much new information for me. So, you know, thank you for that! A few comments: 1) your statement toward the end about Beatles companies (like Apple) selling crap is so spot on. I want to buy Beatles stuff so much but what is offered on the Beatles web site is, well, crap! 2) I recently returned from Las Vegas after viewing Cirque du Solei's Love performance for the second time. That is an example of an outside company providing creative spark to the magic of the Beatles! I love the idea of a virtual reality tour (magical and mysterious, eh?)! 3) You referenced George Harrison and his relationship to his wonderful property called Friar Park and I see Strange History X produced a wonderful video on that - good work! 4) What I want to know is if this was a gift to Julien, why did he not end up with it? Who buys a gift for their child and then keeps it after divorcing their mother? Could it be that Julien did not want it? Did Cynthia speak of Julien's relationship with this beautiful caravan in her book? 5) I love John Lennon but he had a strange relationship with money -- Allen Klein and so many other examples. I can't believe Cynthia received such a low divorce settlement. I live in the US and wonder if the divorce laws regarding settlements are different in England?? And then we have all heard about how little Julien received from the Lennon estate. How sad is it that Julien felt compelled to auction all of these items? 6) Commenters have mentioned John's choice of leaving Cynthia for Yoko. Speculation on my part but I agree he traded in a secure relationship by a woman who loved him for him, not to mention a child who needed love from his daddy (John seems to have replicated the pattern of his father who abandoned him).
@buttercup1765 noted that Cynthia replicated Aunt Mimi's role - an astute observation which I had never considered before. Yoko seems to have replicated John's bio-mom, Julia, who possessed a creative spark but found it difficult to provide the stability that a child desperately needs. 7) Lastly, upon seeing the title of this video, my mind immediately jumped to Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue in 1976, which was a gypsy caravan tour played out for real. John had an interesting engagement with Bob Dylan and his music - I love the bootleg songs that reference Dylan, including imitating his voice, that appear on the John Lennon Anthology. Does anyone know how John felt about Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue? How cool would it have been for John to plug into that? Of course, he was just starting his house husband phase. Thank you so much for this!
I think the reason the gypsy caravan ended up at Tittenhurst Park is because Cynthia couldn't afford to live in Kenwood without Lennon's money and he did not offer to help, and so Cynthia and her young son didn't know where they would end up living. Nothing was set up for them, and so the Caravan was probably going to be abandoned or trashed, so when John had his possessions packed up at Kenwood he clearly took his son's birthday gift. It is a stretch to think that Julian would enjoy it when he came to visit because he rarely seemed to visit Tittenhurst Park. I think that it's sad that Apple seems to be rotten. Their obsession with squeezing every dime they can out of Beatles fans with no consideration for quality. Yes, they were world-famous but their main base of support came from the USA and UK. The idea that they manufacture so much (all?) of their crap in China is saddening. They have the resources to manufacture everything in the UK. Clearly, Paul and Ringo and Olivia and Yoko don't care about creating jobs for Brits. They can make more money by having everything made in China. We all love Beatles music, and we like to think these are nice people, but in the end, they are vile CEOs of a massive company that is focused on bringing in money. Their days of creativity and compassion have been gone for a long time, I am sad to say. There is no telling if things would be different if George was still around. We know John was obsessed with money, perhaps in a never-ending effort to compete with Paul. I've mentioned this before, it's not too late. Perhaps APPLE should ask Beatles fans what they want. I can think of lots of cool things The Beatles can do for their fans, but it's unlikely any of them will happen. But we can hope. They know how to reach me.
I am glad you enjoyed my documentary on Friar Park. I didn't record the narration because I don't really like listening to my voice, and at the time I just wanted to get it done, so a friend of mine narrated it instead. It was fun to work on. I was amazed no one ever bothered to produce one before.
Money didnt save lennons soul.
@@StrangeHistoryX Well, again, thank you for both of these documentaries. I love George Harrison with all my heart. In this lifetime his expressions, artistic and otherwise, provided a gateway to an ever-expanding spirituality. I became familiar with the story of wondrous Friar Park -- two Holy Friars and what not -- but again I learned so much more from your documentary, plus it just made me feel so blissful.
I bet it won't take long for Hot wheels to do it I still think Julian should own the rights as it has been acknowledged that it was a gift for him and at least the rights of its original painted design should be owned by him. Was he ever even considered while Ringo obtained it?. Try to get in touch with Julian and see what he has to say about the whole thing
Technically it would be Julians property. I would have sued
@@Robd07 Does Britain have a statutes of limitations? And also, he was a young boy with no knowledge of the situation who was having his life torn apart and the beginnings of and no idea about the abandonment of his father. It's an interesting situation to say the least. I wonder what a world without Yoko would have done for our Beatles dream? . But we wouldn't have Sean and I own every colored vinyl record of his Claypool Lennon Delirium band with Les Claypool of. Primus, the guy who does the theme "Going down to South Park, gonna have a time". Check out the interview and concert of them online. Also the song they that Sean wrote about His extended sleepover and movie he made with Michael Jackson. The song is called Bubbles and it leads me to believe that something creepy happened to him. Feasting on Candy and dressed like a Dandy. I guess he was there when Bubbles arrived by private plane and calling Michael Peter Pan. I'm surprised this isn't talked about in the Beatles community.
John's journey paralleled that of the caravan.....aimless abandonment.
Boo John for abandoning his family and with a pittance! 💔
Im sure he regrets it all now. He thought he was bigger than Jesus
Oh wow I wrote my comments before the end of your video and it pleases me that you said the same thing at the end good show and great episode 👍
Just like Paul McCartney, there were multiple John Lennons. One of them went on to play the character, Steve Jobs, biblical computer company name and logo, biblical name for the character founder that wore the same outfit the last 10-15 years of his life, why else didn't they get sued by Apple Records, there is an interview with the Beatles where they talk about Apple Corps branching out into "technology", the guy gave Sean a computer, thanks for that by the way, I already believed this before I saw that. It's a very sensible answer to you questions about why he was such an "unprotected, open to the public figure" why else would there be those very convenient photos by Liebowitz, with Chapman and the photographer or that picture, I think that was all a setup before the fake death, the Beatles are just like the Laurel Canyon, Operation Chaos, American rockstars, except handled by British Intelligence and Tavistock. I think they even "never let a crisis go to waste" and put Nilsson out there lobbying for gun control, he likley wrote a lot of their music, why else would the Beatles say he was their favorite group, how else could he get so much industry support and be allowed to not tour. He was deeply involved in some iffy stuff like Moon and Cass dying in his apt. Mike Williams goes through all this stuff. I think that one of the Johns even had at least one more kid, a daughter, who goes by Chiyoko Osborne, ahe lives one block over and 4 blocks down from the Dakota, she worked in fashion for Calvin Klein, her mother is known as "Sharon Osborne", her ex-husband is the head of an official John Lennon Charity, she openly states she knows Yoko Ono, now she is a Yoga instructor in Equador.
I appreciate everyone's feedback, but please understand John's Aunt Mimi is NOT who Julian went to after the accident. He went to John's Aunt MATER who had a home near Loch Meadie in Durness, on the north coast of Scotland. AUNT MIMI did not anywhere close to Scotland so it would make no sense whatsoever that he would go to her while John & Yoko were in the hospital. He stayed with a LOCAL relative. Aunt Mater lived there with John's Uncle Burt and cousins Liela, David and Michael
Ringo was living in Monaco by 70s
John cheated on Yoko at a house party where many friends heard this. This has been confirmed in several documentaries and Yoko wrote a song about the cheating called Death of Samantha. It wasn't just "Yoko kicking him out", she very reasonably needed space.
Great idea for a video. I’d thought I heard somewhere I think Robert Goldman’s book that John had left it on his island in Scotland lol but it’s be awesome to own something like that
Thanks. I've had this info forever and it seemed like a good idea to share what I knew and the images. :)
I think you should say "painted by whom" in this instance. Great info and video, well done! You sound pretty young, I'm so happy to hear a young Beatles fan. It's great to keep the band alive. Kudos to you for this hard work cheers 🎉
Conspiracy Theory # 9: The gypsy caravan was used as the getaway car for the heist of Paul's Höfner bass. Neither has ever been seen since.
Paul still has several, and uses them touring. I believe he prefers the Rickenbacker bass.
😄
There are a lot of us out here who are roughly Julian’s age who would love to adapt a replica caravan that could be pulled by a truck that would make fabulous tiny homes. We’re senior citizens now and on limited incomes. I’d live in it.
If you enjoyed this video, you may also enjoy learning about George Harrison's Friar Park. Kindly check out my documentary. It helps my channel a lot if you can COMMENT, LIKE, and SHARE my videos, so please take the time to do so. I will really appreciate your doing that. Thank you! czcams.com/video/rB1TMlKn3Jo/video.htmlsi=c3dp8-MXs55pqBUd
I wonder if john and yoko would have lasted beyond 1980s..
Ofcourse he would have. What i dont understand was why he was looking 60 when he was 40. Yoko was sucking the life out of him
@@Robd07 John was possibly suffering from anorexia since the mid-1960s, when he was chubby. Yoko introduced him to the macrobiotic diet and he continued like this until the end of his life.
His extreme thinness even began to bother him to the point of telling Yoko to throw away all the documentary films he was recording from the Double Fantasy sessions. According to John himself, he was so thin and big-nosed that he looked like "a fucking bird" in the records.
This may be a rumor that gets spread on the internet, but it indicated that they weren't getting along at the time of his death. I don't recall where I read it online but divorce was thought to be around the corner for them. Again, it could be false information but I am only stating what was written.
Hmm, the painting of the caravan being described as psychedelic? It seems more like Georgian to me.
I know that Ringo Starr lived in the United States for a while, and he had lived. I believe in Los Angeles were his home caught fire, and he lost everything, including millions of dollars in Beatles memorabilia.
This happened in 1979, in his Hollywood home. Ringo lost a priceless amount of memorabilia.
I met The Fool while they were painting the side of the Aquarius Theater. Some where there must be a picture, I think it was a water scene with a Whale. A tad foggy, It was the hip 60s.😊
When your in the srastisphere of The Beatles the caravan is not important. They have other things to be concerned with.
Thanks for your video, really well done. I will say is that Yoko will be remembered as a strong woman, but I do hope people also will say (in the same sentence) she was a manipulator and help brake up Lennon’s family and son. And for that - both her and John were horrible to Julian especially
The caravan is a weird physical metaphor for his Cyn/Julian life.
I’m a huge Lennon fan, but for his music, not his parenting or dieting skills
Imagine not abandoning your children is a better lyric than Inagine there’s no heaven
Yep, the metaphor thing is really hitting a lot of people. It most certainly is. John Lennon felt abandoned as a child, and in return, he repeatedly abandoned things and people. In the end Cynthia and Julian is what he really needed. He was certainly a musical genius which of course is how he will always be remembered.
I think that John became very selfish with his wife and son, and he was cheap with Cynthia., because to him, she wasn’t worth it .,Yoko Allowed John to call Yoko Mother, Cynthia said in her own words , that’s one thing that won’t ever and allow to be, his mother, cause in his wife and his woman. I believe Yoko was playing John T the time and just kept making John feel like he really belonged.
If the Sgt.Pepper logo had disappeared in the mean time, what was sold in the auction, cannot have been the original painting, right? Also it looks different.
15:00 - The artwork of "The Fool" is similar to the artwork on Eric Clapton's psychedelic Gibson SG guitar. I wonder if they also painted it, because Eric named the guitar, "The Fool" ???
Hmmmm. Excellent observation. I'll look into that.
I found out that Eric Clapton's guitar "The Fool" was in fact painted by this dutch group of the same name. I would not have known this if I hadn't watched this video. Thank you, I enjoyed watching this video. @@StrangeHistoryX
Yeah , Thay where cockerels painted on the caravan not chicken's
yeah, you spell They like this not with an A, stop splitting hairs 😂😂
How about we encourage the owner to renovate it and show it off in the New Years Day Rose Parade in Pasadena Ca? 😂
I noticed the original Sgt. Pepper logo on the caravan was different from the one that was sold. Just sayin"
You just solved who the mysterious witch was at the " A Day in the Life " sessions. The woman from the " The Fool "
It was a Dutch couple, ' The fool ' .
A pair of rich 'arty' hippies who made a bit of money from exploiting the Fabfour for a time, in the early days of 'Apple'. Simon Posthuma &
Marijke Koger. See page 342 - " Paul McCartney Many years from Now " by Barry Miles.
Back then women had no leverage in court, Cynthia couldn’t legally have a credit card without her husband’s signature back in the day.
I STILL want a Gypsy caravan! 🌀🐎🎪🛞🐂❤️🔥🧿
Me, too!
Me too. I see so many on Pinterest that you can order these kits for building one. Maybe one day.
Julian's caravan. 👍
... pretty sure the Rolls did precede the Vardo...
Julian's so small in that shot by the Rolls and I coulda swore I've seen the Rolls pictured in.... 66? 65?
Either way, super groovy.
Lennon didn't only abandon Cynthia and Julian, his divorce and subsequent marriage to Yoko lead directly to the break up of The Greatest Musical Group of All Time: The Beatles. A non-politically correct joke at the time went: "Q: What wears glasses and comes in a yellow bag? A: John Lennon" substitute the correct spelling of comes in this context. Ono was vilified and hated; she remains so in certain Beatle Fan circles.
He sold his soul when he left them and got exactly what was coming to him
The heroin in NY was probably much better
Hey guys-contact Meow Wolf! They actually do presentations like you allude to in your presentation here and they may be able to help fund the search for the caravan. (I have no connection to meow wolf) And the way to pronounce an English argument is errrr-ow (as in fall down, skin your knee OW!) There was another mispronunciation but I forget…
SORRY I STAND CORRECTED THANKYOU 👍
take a Chill-Pill dude !!!.................................................................
Se a caravana foi oferecida a Julian, era dele! Como a venderam se pertencia a Julian?
I think it's terrible the way John Lennon abandoned his son Julian and left them with so little. I also feel that it's unconscionable for Sean to end up with so much more than Julian. Julian is the firstborn son. If anything the wealth should be divided equally. Yoko is a master manipulator! 🧚♀
That gipsie caravan probly were he usto eat those missing kids 🦎🐊
....i wonder what are Julian Lennons thoughts of all this today. Would love to know how much he remembers. I NEVER understood how john could have fallen for yoko...shes not even pretty. Cynthia was a hot wife in her prime!
I agree. I believe Yoko came from money so maybe he wanted a wife that had her own money as well so if they divorced, he wouldn't have to pay millions? Just a thought. I never understood his attraction to her.
I meant,( cunning little shrewd)
It would be very hard for me to allow my wife to kick me out of my own place, “(mostly if I were very much in love with her)” like John was with Yoko., you see John loved Yoko more than she loves him, that was johns down fall and weakness. Getting permission and consent to get laid with another beautiful and younger woman made logical sense to John thinking to himself, ok, I’ll smash this young Asian woman as much as I can and catch up for lost pussy time with pang, then when I get bored of her I’ll head back to Yoko and be more serious with her. Yes, that happened, only because Yoko couldn’t make it with another guy that she had feelings for, he didn’t want to get involved with her like John did, he just wanted to be friends with benefits and be good close friends with Yoko., If that didn’t happen, Yoko would have dump John for good, I also believe that Yoko had a thing for Paul!, because Paul was a workaholic and just loved being busy making new music and taking care of the Beatle business, Yoko was working with Paul at times too with Yoko, Paul didn’t want to get involved with Yoko intimately. Just business only. Smart move on Paul’s thinking 💭 it was too close for comfort. I’m not sure if John ever knew about these things, because John, Paul and Yoko never made a huge big deal about in public, this was a private personal thing between them.because of johns strong character and always being very opinionated about everything, and his laziness too, I believe that Yoko needed a big break from John, he just wore her out to the point of kicking him out of the apartment, she needed some space for herself and life , so in desperation she said move out honey.
Yep, I agree. She didn't care. A lot of the J&Y stuff was marketing. It didn't work. Well ... some people believe it. But they were brainwashed into believing their marketing campaign about themselves.
Mae Ping was sooooooo much hotter
THE CARAVAN WAS PAINTED BY THE "FOOL COMPANNY" WHO ALSO PAINTED THE APPLE SHOP IN BAKER STREET LONDON
Did you not watch my video? The Fool did NOT paint it.
Well.dome
Thank you!
Totally too conservative to be the Fools work on the wagon.
Ha! That is an excellent observation! I agree! He should have let The Fool do it.
Horrible to Julian and Cynthia. Disgrace.
I only hope that Sean will rework Julian's cut. I just hope Yoko doesn't make weird stipulations cause it seems like she was quite controlling but I think Sean is very level headed
Her times coming. What is she 90 now? Let her enjoy her occult lifestyle. The reaper will collect
@@Robd07 the kids nowadays will treat her like a part of the history of our beloved Beatles but having her in the studio probably created tension which could have built more tension between the lads defending or not defending and or taking momentary sides and letting it bleed into their work. It like having your family watch you doing your daily job with your work crew
Sean and Julian do get along and there's photos of them together. It seems like Julian has a heart for his older half brother.
Not a fan of AI art.
A blot on lennons copy book. Never had any respect for Yoko. A real parasite imho . Lennon was weak and wanted a mommy.
I enjoyed the video, but your sex hang-ups are hilarious. The bit about John leaving for California with May Pang really had you leaping out of your skin. As a lifelong hippy who was in and out of several marriages, including my own on occasion, the reaction of the moral majority has always been curious.
I have no sex-hang-ups. You are making assumptions about my inner thoughts. I'm a New Yorker. What you heard was something we call "sarcasm". :)
Fashions come-in and fashions go out again . After the swinging 60's people in the gay community started getting AIDS, now it's in the hetero community & all the little communities in between. Moral codes are hard to decipher .

Thank you. I thought so. :)
John got off too lightly for how he treated Cynthia and Julian. Mr. Peace and Love, and Mr. Imagine no possessions. HIs hypocrisy was stunning.
It is surprising that he could be so mean. But of course we always have to separate the art from the artist, and he sure was a brilliant singer-songwriter.
John admitted he treated his wife and Julian like crap. He regrets it. It was cold blooded though. I side with Cynthia
Peace and love my ass. He was a brilliant songwriter but a horrible guy to his own family
Cynthia was terrible to John and played games with custody of Julian. She made no effort to understand John and was rather selfish overall. She started out fairly loving but grew rather selfish, wanting a conventional housewife life. She often made disparaging remarks that were rather emasculating to John. She got what she deserved, which was quite substantial by today's standards.
Such a brilliant video, carefully crafted with a wealth of knowledge. Bravo!
Many thanks!
