The Ballad of John and Yoko | 10-minute Teaser for Nebula

Like the caption says this is only the first 10mins of a larger work you need to have a Nebula account to see, but THAT video essays is an excellent and horrifying examination of Fame and how destructive it can be(spcl to women) through the lens of “who broke up The Beatles?” and the decades of vile, baseless hatred thrown Yoko Ono’s way on that subject.

It’s also just a really good corrective to allot of “common knowledge” misinformation about the individuals discussed. For instance, I’ve heard about The Beatles’s ~Crazy~ trip to India for most of my life but it wasn’t until watching THIS that I learned it was basically a trauma-response to their closeted gay manager, Brian Epstein, dying of an accidental overdose.

I’m hating this author so much I was considering quitting, so I decided to open a random page and see if it convinced me to stick with it. And he answered a question I’ve had for a while.

Was Yoko present for the recording of the ballad John and Yoko?

Second engineer John Kurlander says: no.

I guess I’ll have to stick with this stupid irritating book.

“George Martin and Geoff Emerick agreed to man the engineering boards alongside John Kurlander as second engineer.

Kurlander told me: 'It was a strange session in the sense it was only John and Paul. At that point we didn't know if it was an album track or what. But there was a lot of urgency about the whole thing. They were in Studio Three instead of Studio Two, which was where The Beatles generally recorded. But what I do remember about it was just the sheer sense of fun we all had. John was in a great mood and that always helped. Plus, it really was just the two of them, no wives and no distractions. It was great.’ “

He also quotes Paul saying John was “on heat”, so, that’s a thing that happened.

It's so hard for me to listen to "The Ballad of John and Yoko" because...well, he was right, they did crucify him.

It's like he predicted his own death, which, Stu did too, apparently. And in "Long and Winding Road" Paul implies John dying young too and I just...it's weird and I don't like thinking about it.

“I copped money for the Family Way, the film music Paul wrote while I was out of the country making How I Won the War,” Lennon remembers laughing. “I said to Paul, ‘you’d better keep that’ and he said ‘don’t be soft.’ It’s the concept - we inspired each other so much in the early days. We write how we write now because of each other.”

“Paul was there for five or ten years and I wouldn’t write like I write now if it weren’t for Paul, and he wouldn’t write like he does now if it weren’t for me.”

April 19 1969 Melony Maker

The Ballad of John Yoko…and Paul 🤪

John was in an impatient mood so I was happy to help. It’s quite a good song (The Ballad of John and Yoko); it has always surprised me how with just the two of us on it, it ended up sounding like The Beatles. -Paul McCartney

I enjoyed working with John and Yoko on ‘The Ballad Of John And Yoko’. It was just the two of them with Paul. When you think about it, in a funny kind of way it was the beginning of their own label, and their own way of recording. It was hardly a Beatle track. It was a kind of thin end of the wedge, as far as they were concerned. John had already mentally left the group anyway, and I think that was just the beginning of it all. -George Martin

Paul knew that people were being nasty to John, and he just wanted to make it well for him. -Yoko Ono

I didn't mind not being on the record, because it was none of my business. If it had been the 'The Ballad of John, George and Yoko,' then I would have been on it. -George Harrison

The story came out that only Paul and I were on the record, but I wouldn't have bothered publicizing that. It doesn't mean anything; it just so happened that there were only us two there. George was abroad, and Ringo was on the film and he couldn't come that night. Because of that, it was a choice of either re-mixing or doing a new one – and you always go for doing a new one instead of fiddling about with an old one. So we did, and it turned out well. -John Lennon

The Ballad Of John And Yoko’ only had Paul – of the other Beatles – on it but that was OK. ‘Why Don’t We Do It In The Road?’ was just Paul and me, and it went out as a Beatle track too. We had no problems with that. There’s good drums on ‘The Ballad Of John And Yoko’, too. -Ringo Starr
