John Lennon on mental health and the Beatles reuniting | BBC News
On this day in 1980, John Lennon was murdered outside his home in New York City.
Ever since, Beatles fans have speculated about what might have transpired with the band had he lived.
A rediscovered 1975 interview with Lennon from the BBC archive gives some clues.
His untimely death would rob the Beatles of that opportunity in person, but it wasn’t the end of their musical collaboration together.
The final song, Now and Then, was released this year, credited to all four Beatles.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

Clearly, you lot don't know much about John Lennon. He was a wife beater, neglected his son, and had affairs. It's better not to share your erroneous opinions in the future. So as not to embarrass yourselves, so badly again.

I was taken aback when John said being on his own is somewhat more difficult (paraphrasing) he mentions being "sniped". I'll never forget the tv bulletin that horrible evening, sitting in my living room, when he was 'sniped' and died. Never stop "Imagine".

LOL Mental health? coming from a government that won't screen all or even most/some commoners.. in what they medically science wise have.. every single human specimen has at least one dsm label/psychiatric "condition"/disorder.. right. .even the best elite minds… even just anxiety.. literally everyone has something that may come and go … be there some years.. not so much.. other years.. the point is all human beings have mental health hygiene … okay so.. next time …. live somewhat properly… make everyone or most people go in… involuntarily or voluntarily.. make people listen to medical science… i get it can be pseudo science/art/politics too.. but the point is.. how is all of this diversity and mess/gongshow allowed? like .. okay .. you all allow anti psychiatry courses to be taught .. over in canada .. by the way.. which i thought was ridiculous .. at u of t… you allow websites … i'm not that important… to change things.. right.. i'm not a politician.. i'm a commoner.. but jesus.. maybe malpractice on people who actually deserve it.. and maybe crack down… lay the law down .. more… so that people actually study what mental health is. People have certain labels.. and NOT other labels. I noticed at least in the english lang. west.. there's only like.. a couple of top sellers.. dsm labels / diagnoses "they" primarily seem gong ho to push. Well jesus.. the average babyboomer woman over here for instance… in canada or states.. has a severe… huge… personality disorder.. like borderline personality disorder or a split personality.. is not mean in an overachiever way.. is not a narcissist in the normal enough.. way.. that would make sense eh.. she's a complete and utter monster and even on the mentally / behaviorually slow spectrum… never once.. being told to get help.. never once being put in her place.. never once being sectioned/sanctioned… never once facing reality really etc. and so on and so forth. Lennon is/was a great… but the keywords mental health pop up… more than anything at a time like this… lol…

John started out as the typical old school woman beating misogynist macho geezer until Yoko educated him. In a way, Lennon was the first woke male celebrity. A lot of his solo work lyrics sound like a man realizing what an ass he's been and trying to atone for his past self.

John looked well in 1975. Great fashion sense and in an upbeat mood. He’d have been about 34/35 here, still a young man.
