Here is a controversial thread I don't think has ever been posted yet;
If John had not been murdered in 1980 and had lived to see his 70th Birthday; all the speculation about what his musical output would have been like, or whether The Beatles would have re-united comes immediately to the forefront of such a discussion. But here's another angle; Would he still have been married to Yoko in 2010?
I would say there was at least a 50% chance the answer would have been no. First of all, only 1 out of every 2 marraiges succeeds nowadays. And given John's episode with May Pang in the mid-70's along with his mercurial personality and tendency to change directions so frequently in his life as he did during his first 40 years, it seems a forgone conclusion, he would likely haved moved on past his relationship with Yoko at some point. Lots of reasons why he would have gone down that path. Fewer reasons why he wouldn't have. Comments anyone?

I think it is highly likely that John would have moved back to Liverpool in his dotage, taking Yoko with him. I think they would have moved into a three-bedroomed bungalow on Woolton Hill Road. John would have been a stalwart in the Woolton Darts League and Yoko would have taken up basket-weaving with the Women's Guild and dined at the White Horse pub on a Wednesady lunchtime trussed up inside a black PVC bag.
Errrr....seriously? Haven't a clue. I think they would probably have stayed together, though.

Me too. I think John had a good understanding that there was a big difference between satisfying your physical wants - where, admittedly, he had a big drive - and satisfying your intellectual and spiritual needs, and the latter is where Yoko succeeded in spades, not to mention enabling him to live his life in a wway he was extremely comfortable living. Notwithstanding the Lost Weekend, the final BBC interview with Andy Peebles didn't sound remotely like a marriage in trouble - just the opposite, in fact.

Whether you like it or not as a Yoko Hater, the fact is that John Lennon said "I literally could not survive without her" in 1980. As vectis said, there was no indication whatsoever that the marriage was in trouble by listening to the December 6 1980 Andy Peebles interview. Nor two days later during the entire RKO interview. Or in ANY interviews. And May Pang? What about her? She was someone John had sex with while separated from the woman he really loved madly and wanted to spend old age with. OK, I know what you're saying. You're saying "okay, but what might have changed in the next 30 years for John?". Whatever changes might have been, there is NO indication that John Lennon would ever have wanted to exist without Yoko; when asked if he'd like to live to old age, John's quote is: "I'd like to live to a ripe old age - with Yoko, ONLY". The man would rather have been dead without her. He also said "I hope I die first because without Yoko I couldn't go on." Now, I know how much those words eat at Yoko Haters' minds. But it is what it is. I'll end this particular post by throwing you a small bone. I would say it wasn't out of the realm of possibility that Yoko might have wanted to leave John sometime in the past 30 years. Or better worded, if anyone would eventually want to move on, I think it would have been Yoko first, but never John. BUT if we just look at how well Yoko has treated John and his legacy and nurtured him in death during the past 30 years (I know some disagree with that), I would say the evidence shows she still is fond of him, loves him, and misses him.

One thing I have always felt about John, and it's not very nice I know, is that if he was alive today he would look like hell. He didn't look very good in 1980, all thin. I believe he would have been bald at this time too, a la Pete Townshend.

Thanks for my little bone; I hadn't considered Yoko might have ended the relationship as well at some point. That is completely possible. Though I can't see her giving up all that fame and fortune of being Mrs. Lennon without a nice little settlement a la Heather Mills. If the marraige had agreeably ended, and John was on his own, how quickly would a Beatles reunion have occurred? Would the lawsuits have been settled quicker? Would George have put aside his foibles with Paul had John wanted the band to re-unite? With Yoko out of the picture, would it have been easier for the others to relate to John, once back in a studio or onstage? John had always had a woman in his life; (his mother Julia briefly), Mimi, Cynthia, Yoko, May, so it is pretty likely he would have had someone else fill that void rather quickly. Interesting that the other comments so far feel the marraige with Yoko would have survived these last 30 years.

Paul would have written again with John and joined him on stage during John's tour. The band would reunite during Live Aid. The biggest arguement would have been Philly or London. The Beatles would fully reunite at the end of the eighties for Anthology. I don't think we would have ever got a tour or album. Probably four new songs, one sung by each, and maybe a small one- off concert for the Anthology. Probably the coolest thing would have been Unplugged around 92. Lennon would have been a huge supporter of the 9-11 helpers, but would have urged President Gore to give peace a chance. Gore would win the election because of John's campaigning in his snowbird home in Florida.

To think that one and not the other might have considered moving on might be a little naive, Joe. Considering the way John went out on Cynthia -- and also considering that May says her relationship with John kept up long after he got back with Yoko -- seems to indicate he might have, too. Some might argue the Sam Hadvatoy episode shows Yoko might have made an exit. But John was dead. I don't think you can discount that they might have broken up. On the other hand, look at Ringo and Barbara. They appear to be happier than ever. Show biz marriages fall by the wayside every day. TMZ and other gossip sites report on anything they can grab their hands on. I think a lot of people wish John and Yoko would have separated. But marriages go through phases. I'd like to think "Grow Old With Me" was more than just a song.

Surely one good innocent larf deserves another and you believe in fair play, right? You are very strange in this one regard, Fred. You got all bent out of shape when someone made fun of Peter Tork (saying he looked like a skeleton) or the other Monkees, or when I justifiably joked with the name May "Bang". You cry in public and also notify the moderators, but yet there's always Yoko Ono as your one scapegoat opportunity to put on a devilish grin, exercise the hate you pretend not to harbor, and prove that you're "just as bad as the rest of us" when it comes to teasing about a person. And get a clue -- Yoko did not only "scream" like that in "music". That's the sort of thing I'd expect to hear from casual people, not dedicated and knowledgable Beatles fans.

It's called satire, Joe. In satire everyone, especially public figures, are fair game. Or did we look the other way when John did his 'cripples' bit during the Washington Concert? I also posted the Silver Haired Beatles which folks enjoyed as it was a gentle poke at the Beatles and was a bit melancholy since two of the Beatles never made it to silver hair age. I personally know May and Peter, and the so-called 'humor' that was aimed at Peter by an individual who thankfully is no longer on this forum was particularly mean-spirited since Peter's current appearance was due to his battle with cancer. Said individuals' anti-Monkee diatribes were more vile and vicious than any perceived 'hatred' aimed at Yoko. No one would have dared thrown the same kind of barbs at George Harrison. Regarding May, I reiterate, history is history and May was there, we weren't. It's just a cartoon. I don't know if Yoko has seen it, but if she has I wouldn't be surprised if she thought it was funny too. And if you noticed, the 'Jim' character fell instantly in love with 'YoYo', so that's keeping with the historical nature of the cartoon. Now, if you went to the Sulpy board and read what they write about Yoko, it would make your head spin and what we say about Yoko here is tame to what they think about her over there. (Care to debate them? Careful, they bite!) Plus, I'm getting sick and tired of the 'Yoko Hater' card being constantly tossed about over any kind of criticism aimed towards her. She's not above criticism, which is also the case with the Beatles as well. The label has gotten old and tired and like the boy who kept crying wolf, it's getting to the point that no one cares to listen any more. Time to hang it up, it's past it's expiration date. Personally, I kind of think this whole thread is a moot point. It's interesting to speculate what John would have done if he had reached 70. But the sad fact is that he's not here and neither is George and there's no way we'll ever know what would have happened and nothing we can do about it anyway. So for now, let's enjoy Paul and Ringo while they are still with us. In any case, it was great to enjoy Ringo on his 70th.

I thought the Pinky and the Brain spoof was affectionate and, like the Rutles, particularly effective because it was so accurate - any of the spoofs which take the trouble to be accurate are, I think, the richer for it, and should be appreciated by the spoofee for precisely that reason. I must say that the first thing I thought of on hearing the YoYo screeching was Yoko's augmentations to some of the live recordings (The Lyceum Cold Turkey, or am I misremembering? Maybe it's the Mothers Baby Please Don't Go - I've got to say I don't listen to them that often). Yoko's sense of humour seems to have developed over the years, and I would hope that she'd find it amusing.

I think John would have continued to be a very fascinating human being and I'd have loved to hear his take on the current "tea party' movement as well as all the social trends of the past 30 years. The man was never shy with his opinions. And I think he'd still be with Yoko.

What could have been interesting would be to fill out an LP with solo songs as performed as a full group: Band on the Run What is Life It Don't Come Easy Imagine Whatever Gets You Through the Night Dark Horse Junior's Farm Mind Games Maybe I'm Amazed Uncle Albert Dream No. 9 Photograph Crackerbox Palace My favorite part of seeing the Eagles reunited in 1994 was their group interpretations of all the solo hits-even the dated 80s songs by Glen Frey were cool by the Eagles

The label has gotten old and tired and like the boy who kept crying wolf, it's getting to the point that no one cares to listen any more. Time to hang it up, it's past it's expiration date. Thanks for sharing that OldFred. I have never been there but sometimes we get posts here that say how can this Board be a Beatles' Board because some facet of The Beatles is criticized by one of us or another. It is nice to hear that we are moderate on some things compared to other Boards. Honest discussions will entail disagreement and while we all are drawn to The Beatles music in general, there are bound to be sincere disagreements on various sub-topics. I think John could never have left Yoko completely but I think that Yoko could have left John at any time if "I'm Moving On" is any indication. That doesn't mean Yoko didn't love John, she did but she wasn't going to put up with his b.s. She wore the pants in the family and was not going to tolerate being treated like crap by John or anyone else. John really did always need somebody, but not just anybody(sounds like a song lyric ;D ). I think John would still be making rock and roll/pop records if alive and healthy. Yoko would still be in his life either as wife or most important person if she had chosen to end the marriage. They'd always be connected somehow. Sometimes here is a reason for everything, even really bad things and I agree with JoeK that John may not have aged well if he had not been murdered on 12/08/80. I am sure John and Yoko would say, "Well let us find out ourselves how that will play out," but maybe his health would have failed or some other calamity would have overtaken him. We'll never know because what happened happened. I shudder to think if Yoko had died before John. He might have sunk fast, becoming like a Brian Wilson in Bri's worst periods.

I really have no idea whether John would be with Yoko at 70. He was such an unpredictable guy.
All I can say is that I wish he was still with us at 70 . I still miss the great man to this day.
