Maybe that's how it came off, but I know I didn't mean it like that. It's just that if you spend as much time together as they did, it's not... abnormal? to eventually just get frustrated by the situation. And the fact that they realized that before it ruined everything was very lucky foresight.

It just gets stifling after a while. Even in friendships, I'll go through periods where I have to avoid a certain person or I'll get angry with them about everything. They (well, I get the feeling, mostly Yoko) were VERY smart to see that and give themselves a breather. |

The story about May Pang (as I understand it, and I have read the book she released about the whole sordid thing) is that she worked for John and Yoko as their personal assistant around the Imagine time. She was there when they made the movie about legs and the one about the fly on the woman's body. John had an affair one night at a party (not sure whose party but I could look it up), and that was one of the last straws between John and Yoko. John and May started up their thing (around the time Mind Games was released), and then, for some reason or another and I'm not entirely sure, the two of them moved out to L.A. where John started work on the Rock & Roll album with Phil Spector. He also did the Walls and Bridges album out there (I think) and May sings on #9 Dream (she does the "John" bit).
John and May lived with a friend of hers in a small apartment, and later on moved in with Ringo, Keith Moon and Harry Nilsson. Julian came out to see John in L.A. that year with his mother, and Paul and Linda also spent time with them. So the reports about Paul and John absolutely not seeing each other in the 70s are false, and they did actually 'record' a song together as a muck around thing when John was working on his album. (And just another little thing, because I love John and Paul so much - Paul was going to do his 'Venus and Mars' album in New Orleans, and he and Linda invited John and May to come down and spend time with them, but it never ended up happening because John was getting back together with Yoko.)
Anyway, John and May moved back to New York where they had an apartment together, and after a couple of months (maybe) they broke up and John went back to Yoko, who got pregnant with Sean.
The book is really good and really sad. It's called 'Loving John' and I really liked it.
And just so I'm not confusing anyone - I'm not agreeing with May and saying that she and John were meant to be and Yoko was a controlling bitch - honestly, I don't really care. Only John and Yoko know what their relationship was about and I really have no right to speculate. That's just how I know it (or remember them, because I read the book early this year and am in no hurry to read it again), and I happen to think that Yoko is a pretty cool woman.
But I also think that May is pretty cool as well, so take it as you like. I just hope I'm not offending anyone or anything. *shrugs*

I know what you mean crybaby, I've read that book also, and it's very depressing.
Sometimes I hate Yoko, I hate her for not going to bermuda with John, I hate her for her magical theories, and y'know... But I love her too.
Don't mind me, I'm a strange person.

You can not believe how true that is.
