1:18:01
By then it was getting very obvious...
1:18:04
that the world didn't want us to
really work together.
1:18:08
So, it was 1973. I just felt like
saying to John:
1:18:11
"Look, why don't you just go to L.A.
And have fun?
1:18:14
"Leave me alone."
1:18:16
I just wanted to think straight,
because I couldn't think straight anymore.
1:18:19
She had literally said, "Get out."
1:18:22
And I said, "Okay, I'm going."
1:18:25
I had been married before Yoko,
and I immediately married Yoko...
1:18:28
so I've never been a bachelor
since I was 20 or something.
1:18:31
So I thought, "Woo-hoo!"
1:18:34
The lost weekend was a combination
of a remarkable party...
1:18:38
an exercise into
the depths of foolishness...
1:18:42
and, I think, John's last effort
to assert his manhood.
1:18:47
I think it was his departure...
1:18:49
from his innocence and from his youth...
1:18:52
to becoming a man, to becoming serious...
1:18:54
to wanting to be with Yoko,
to having a child.
1:18:57
And this is...
Some people have bachelor parties.
1:19:01
John had a lost weekend...
1:19:02
that went on for 14 months
or however long it went on.
1:19:07
Clearly it was necessary for somebody
to be with John...
1:19:10
and Miss Pang seemed like
a logical choice.
1:19:12
Nothing gets done with John
unless there's somebody there.
1:19:16
And Yoko suggested that she would
be the ideal companion...
1:19:19
for John for this mission.
1:19:22
That lost weekend that everybody
keeps talking about, it wasn't so lost.
1:19:27
People saw more of John
than they had in the previous years.
1:19:31
And he was out and about a lot.
1:19:34
He had recorded several albums...
1:19:37
starting with Mind Games
to Rock 'n'Roll to Walls and Bridges.
1:19:41
And he worked with Ringo on his album.
1:19:44
There's also David Bowie...
1:19:46
when they collaborated on...
1:19:48
David Bowie's first
number one hit song, Fame.
1:19:50
And also Elton John, when we went
to Caribou. So there was a lot going on.
1:19:55
We had a lot of fun.
1:19:56
There was Keith Moon, Harry, me,
Ringo all living together in the house.
1:19:59
We had some moments, folks.
But it got a little near the knuckle.
