Re: Emerick On John's Personality Change In 1967

No, I don't buy it.  May encouraged John's social and artistic lives --
the last thing Ono wanted.
In fact, with May's companionship, John created the best of his
post-Beatles work (W&B) and attained his first #1 selling single and
album.
John was off the heroin and methadone when with May.
And -- there's the clincher -- May was encouraging John to be friends
with McCartney again.  That was the last thing Ono wanted.  Indeed, the
prospect of Lennon and Ono working together, which had become a
possibility, what with John and May's plans to meet with McCartney in
the studio in New Orleans -- is what droe Ono to physically intervene
and become pregnant by John.
Lennon's life with May was in stark contrast to what it was under the
controlling, narcissistic Yoko.
