Because I promised, here is the second part of the historical review of THE BEATLES ...
5. Stepping into the void
The band's manager, Brian Epstein, scheduled the group's second world tour, which would pass through France, Italy, Spain, United States. During this tour could meet Elvis Presley. You could say that This tour was a success, but was somewhat disappointed for the group as the roar of the fans who did not realize when they sang or simply moved their lips without making any noise.
After the tour, George is married to model Patti Boyd. And only Paul remained single.
The next tour was a nightmare, they had the problem of how to move large quantities of drugs through customs and worse, broadcast, shortly before arriving in the U.S., in an interview with John in which he stated: " Christianity will disappear. It is not necessary that I show up. We're more popular than Christ. Though he was a great person, his disciples threw it all away ... "
The condemnation was widespread, the press, public and parishioners who admired them, spoke out against the views of Lennon. Thus, the Beatle, in a press conference had to recognize that their comment was wrong and had never had the meaning which it wanted to give.
discomfort was so great that they let this trip they decided to take 4 months off. During that time Paul lived in the country, George and his wife traveled to India and Ringo was devoted to nightlife. John was left alone. "To live without The Beatles is like stepping on a vacuum," he said. And the days passed refuge in marijuana. In these 4 was offered part of the cast of the movie "How I Won the War." During the shooting he shaved and changed the contact lenses for eyeglasses, round wire-frame, those that characterize the rest of his life.
already to re-join, marijuana was only a memory for them, now using harder drugs such as LSD. Product they were creating more and more eccentric songs, as were his "flights" and visions. New harmonies, deep lyrics and messages are not very clear to the public did not know what was happening.
"Rubber Soul" and "Revolver" were recorded at that time using novel techniques. Songs grouped as important as "Michelle", "Rain", "Yellow Submarine", "For No One", "Taxman" (written by George), "Eleanor Rigby" (a stark portrait of the lonely people, written by Paul) "Tomorrow Never Knows" and "In My Life" (a sincere introspection that bare the soul of Lennon). These songs marked the beginning of the psychedelic era of the group that would culminate with "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was recorded in only 4 months, defined as the best summary of the psychedelic sixties. In all these songs, the influence of LSD, it was noted as all but Paul, I ate frequently.
Seeking the answers the group traveled to India, after the holy man Magesh Maharishi Yogi, who followed with a meditation course that obliged them to quit.
Although this character did not provide them the answers they expected, was composed in India where at least 30 of his best songs. In return, they learned that Brian Epstein had died completely intoxicated.
6. The beginning of the end
All that surrounded the Beatles seemed to be part of them, except Cynthia, wife of John, very different to him (never smoked or drunk alcohol), each day became more noticeable differences between them. It is therefore easy to understand how John could get involved with Yoko Ono, a Japanese alien he met in an art gallery.
In little over a year, John and Yoko were lovers so Cynthia decided to leave home to find the Japanese stuck at home.
input Yoko Lennon's life was a great nuisance to the rest of the group because she was always John.
not the interests of the rest appeared to be the same. George, for example, decided to quit for good psychedelics and Paul saw each increasingly involved in musical projects.
After Brian's death, Paul thought he could take over the group and involved in a project called "Magical Mystery Tour" consisting of a film and a long-play. At first the idea was accepted, but the video was considered as a "disgusting" and they reported only musical applause and many dollars.
completed at this time also the romance that held 5 years ago Paul and actress Jane Asher. He decided to travel to the U.S. for business. There he met Linda Eastman, an apprentice photographer who had met on a previous trip. After this Jane tried to travel back but she never accepted a reconciliation. Linda Paul called the United States to invite her to meet his London home, which, once there, they never leave.
John and Yoko on the other hand had been immersed in the world of hard drugs, to the point that the British police arrived to arrest them. This scandal, along with the release of their first album cover was to couple a photo which showed them naked, made to further accentuate the differences of the group, which nobody could solve.
early 1969, Paul tried to join the Beatles again recording a new album to be called "Get Back!" (Again!) And should be a way back to its roots. But others disagreed. The idea of \u200b\u200ba tour was scrapped by agreeing to perform a concert at the end of the recording, which later would lead to a documentary.
This concert was held on the rooftop of the Apple building in Savile Row 3. Below gathered a lot of people before so unusual spectacle.
After this, Paul became a financial and legal advice by his father and brother, now that he was married to Linda. The rest of the group did not accept that they intrude in the affairs of the group so that the problems between them grew.
7. Separate Ways
John was finally able to marry Yoko and initiated the "Occupations of bed," original forms of protest against everything that seemed unfair. Now, the LSD and did not calm down and began to experiment with even stronger drugs like hashish. Neither he nor Yoko could give up this habit, but underwent therapy, fell back.
This is the time when John recorded his first solo album: The John Lennon / Plastic Ono Band, an autobiographical album.
Thanks to his new manager, Allen Kein, the new album "Abbey Road", considered the masterpiece of the group, could sell more than 5 million copies in one year.
But Paul was not convinced of this representative and he retired to live in the countryside with her family. There, in response to the work of Lennon, he recorded his first solo album.
At that time also was the launching of the documentary film of his latest work, titled "Get Back" was changed to "Let it Be. You can put the LP of Paul and Ringo's solo work.
None of the Beatles went to the movies at the premiere of "Let it Be" That same day George began recording his first solo album, ironically titled "In the end, everything ends," which received critical acclaim.
8. The final point
Like the rest of the Beatles refuses to dissolve Apple (the company that had created), Paul decided to refer their friends, and no settlement was possible. Each
continued with his life: Paul living with Linda, which ultimately proved to be the ideal woman for him. Ringo
Maureen divorced, suspecting she had been unfaithful to George! And therefore ended the marriage of George and Patty Boyd, who became a woman guitarist Eric Clapton.
For years, John struggled to find their "answers." Living in a symbiotic relationship with Yoko, a few years the daily boredom and insanity made her decide to separate from the man who also loved. John was devastated and return it "only" required him to prove not a drug anymore.
Yoko After a year agreed to return to live with John. From there, life was changed. John was dedicated to live simply, they had a son named Sean and the family was consolidated.
After turning forty, John decided to return to music. A day before he died John Winston Lennon would his last interview. They said
"I talk to people who have gone through what we've been us, sixty groups that have survived the war ..., drugs, politics, violence in the streets, all that mess. They are the men whom I speak. What we showed the sixties were the chances we had and the responsibility we all. This was not an answer, but a vision of the opportunities we had. And in the sixties was all wrong. Maybe in the eighties will all say: we project the positive side of life. "
How?
- All I ask is that you give peace a chance. Not that I have an answer or propose a new organization for society, because that's not true I do not think anybody does. If there is someone to show me the plan!
Have you no intention to present as a male rock star?
- I've gone through the childhood dream of being an "Elvis" and do what I like and excel in the entertainment world. I want to be with my best friend ... and my best friend is my wife.
Who can ask for more?
What did people when you interact with Yoko and the kind of art that she created?
- People said: "This Japanese witch is driving him crazy." But all she did was out of my interior this fantastic part, until then I had been inhibited.

Do you need to Yoko?
- Plenty. I could not survive without it, or continue to operate as a human being. When we parted for a while, I took pieces ... could not survive without it ... I feel like a kid thinking that I still have many years ahead and our son with Yoko ... Or least that's what I expect.
Thinking about death?
- I hope I die before Yoko, because if she died I would not know how to survive. I could not go forward.
Hours later, the bloodied body of John would be taken to Roosevelt Hospital, where they tried to revive him but to no avail. Four shots fired by Mark David Chapman, 25, ended the lives of ex-leader of the Beatles.
The story was over ...
