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.
1:20:03
I hit the bottle like I was 18 and 19...
1:20:06
and I was acting like
I was still at college.
1:20:10
The only terrible thing...
1:20:11
that I can say about John Lennon is
he was an absolutely miserable drunk.
1:20:15
He could not stop once he started.
1:20:17
Two Brandy Alexanders, and he
was absolutely charming, delightful...
1:20:21
told the old stories, was witty and lovely.
1:20:24
By the third...
1:20:26
he started to snarl, and after that,
he was uncontrollable.
1:20:31
It was the first night
I had drank Brandy Alexanders...
1:20:33
which is brandy and milk, folks.
1:20:35
And I was with Harry Nilsson, who didn't
quite get as much coverage as me.
1:20:38
They just sort of said, "Okay...
1:20:40
"you better leave, Mr. Lennon."
And then they took me out.
1:20:42
It was a mistake but, hell, I'm human.
1:20:44
I was drunk in Liverpool and smashed
phone boxes...
1:20:48
it didn't get in the papers then.
1:20:57
Fred Astaire and Ginger Beer!
