@beompoka I think it was rationalised in retrospect, the photographer probably had deranged teenage fans in mind and then thought of Hans Bellmer's deformed doll images from the 1930s.
@ClarkeMicah Does anybody who gives up cannabis long enough for it to clear from the blood stream ever believe it rendered them anything but mentally impaired and deluded? Why do people bleat on about alcohol to justify it? You can do neither & get high on the natural maturing process.
@yu19820@ceofjohnlennon@johnlennon@JulianLennon Compared to how all fathers have treated their kids, I doubt John Lennon would be in the high percentage of those who treated their kids like trash. He certainly isn't the only dad to have got divorced with all of the obstacles and difficulties in maintaining relationships.
@ceofjohnlennon@johnlennon I'm guessing he had it cut that short August 66 because Brian told him it would help convince the press and TV that he was 'innocent' of the charges of blasphemy, similar to how a defendant would smarten up for an appearance in court. He had it cut again for the film.

@ceofjohnlennon By the way she looks at him affirmingly as he says it, Yoko must know who John associates "It's Only Love" with. By no means one of his best, but he would have given it to somebody like PJ Proby if he'd felt that way about it at the time.
That escalated fast! I didn't intend to have this debate with mainstream TV host Vanessa Feltz. Who do you think is right?
