Well, since some of you seem so darn curious, "Well, yes" means that yes, I did sleep with him, several times, in fact, but that isn't so amazing. He slept with lots of girls. To me the most amazing thing was that I got to become his friend, although sleeping with him was quite nice indeed. And yes, Pablo, I am mistressofdelights as well as angelgodiva. I have two usernames because I run two personal forums.
*sigh* Ah to be buddy buddy with THE John Lennon... Forgive us for our curiousity, Angel Mom, for we are young, fanatical, and easily excited. Hearing all of this is like a sugar rush! Or maybe it's the tea I'm drinkin'. :-\
OMG!!! Angel, you are my heroine!!! Oh man, I can't fucking believe it!! Not only did you sleep w/him, you even were his friend!! That is so amazing!! I love this forum. I'm sorry that I'm so freaked out about it, but John Lennon is seriously God himself. That is so amazing that I can talk to someone who was friend w/John! How did you meet him? Did you see him often? Did you meet any of the other Beatles too? Did you talked a lot? Did you have philosophical discussions? I'm sorry for all the questions! If you don't wanna answer it and I'm just annoying you, just don't say anything. It just means sooo much to me! Peace + Love Flowerchild
I met him in a small bar, I did not meet any of the other Beatles--he was not a Beatle anymore by then, although while I was still seeing him, Ringo moved into John's house for a while. We had many conversations about lots of things, some of them were philosophical in nature, but mostly it was just fun and a lot of laughing when we spoke because we had similar senses of humor and found one another funny. The woman who shared John's life and lived with him when I knew him (May Pang) is presently writing a new book which will feature many pictures of him she took which have not been publicly seen before. Besides the pictures, there will be anecdotes in the book written by John's many friends from the time he was with her, and two of mine will be included. I will tell you that story if you would like to hear it. While I was sitting next to John in the bar, a drunk guy came in and started playing with his zipper, trying to open his pants. John elbowed me and told me to look at what the guy was doing, and just then, the bartender noticed the guy and said, "Hey, buddy, the john is that way," and he pointed towards the bathrooms. John kind of sighed and said something like, "Christ on a crutch, of all the fuckin' names in the world, they've gotta call it that." Then his eyes lit up like he'd been struck by a great inspiration, and he said to the bartender, "Your name isn't Lou by any chance, is it?" The bartender said that no, his name was (I believe) Danny (or something similar).Then he asked John why he'd asked that. John tipped his head back and gave the bartender that famous down-his-nose look and replied, completely deadpan: "Cos that's what we call it." He was funny as hell, and I miss him to this day.
LOL! Fabulous! I could picture that vividly in my mind, too. Did you ever speak with May Pang? Is she nice? I've heard lots of good things about her. I'm buying this book, too! Will ya sign it for me?
I have not spoken to her directly, but I have kept in touch through email for a couple years with her, and yes, she is a lovely woman, very sweet and kind. When the book is finished and released, I would be happy to sign it for you.
Woohoo! Thanks! It'll be an interesting read, that's for sure. You never hear too, too much about the "Lost Weekend" (or whatever it is they call it; the exact name escapes my memory at this late hour). *sigh* Poor John. RIP
this is quite different from the old version i heard from you AngelGodiva....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm what's the deal here?
The original version, by which I assume you mean the entry in my journal, is not nearly so detailed, and I did not include this story. This is just a couple minutes out of the original meeting, which began when I knocked a bowl of nuts off the bar and said hello to him when he looked up. I couldn't possibly include every moment in one account, well, I guess I could, but I would need to write an entire book, lol! Besides, when May asked me for a couple anecdotes, I gave her this part of the story for her book so I didn't want to put it in my online account anyhow.
Yes she wrote one years ago called "Loving John." It is out of print but can usually be found at the library or on eBay. She is currently working on her second book, which is the one I will be in.
Yeah, I've tried looking for "Loving John", but none of our libraries have it. I haven't checked eBay, though. So hmm... Did you ever meet Yoko? Or I guess maybe he wasn't with her at that time... Sorry for all the questions! I feel bad for bothering you.
I'm sorry everyone...but I just have to let this out . . . AAAAAAAAAAAAAH I'M TALKING TO SOMEONE WHO WAS FRIENDS WITH JOHN LENNON.... JOHN FREAKING LENNON!!! AAHHHH!!! Okay. There we go. I've got a complex, can't help it Phew..
Lol, Sunfree...no, I have never met Yoko, but my friend Susan has (she is my editor at Rooftop Sessions, the website I write Beatles fan fiction for), and she says that Yoko is charming and very gracious. I sent her a sympathy card, of course, when John was killed, but she did not reply, probably because she was deluged with cards and couldn't reply to everyone, plus it was a horrible time for her, so she couldn't be expected to, could she. I almost got to meet May last Fall...wait till you hear this, this is awful-- my computer was broken and I was offline for six months. Anyhow, when I got back on, I was going through my email, and it took me days, there were thousands of them-- but I found amongst the rest an invitation to Mays' birthday party at some place called The Cutting Room in New York. I was so upset to have missed it, but I hope she will ask me again this year. If she does, I will try to get a couple pictures and post them here.
Angel, I love you! You have probably the coolest life of all the people I've ever met...writing e-mails with JOHN's ex-gf, even getting invited to her birthday party!! Having met John!! I just wanted to congratulate you again on your awesome, awesome life!
God, I'm sorry for the last post! In the end you have cancer or lost a child or a close friend or something! Let me put it this way: I wanna congratulate you for all that I know about you up to this point!
No need; I had cancer once, but have been clean of it for MANY years now, and I am fine. Although I have lost children, I also have some, and grandchildren, too, so I am okay. Thanks for your concern, though. Be sure to join my personal forum, THE KITCHEN TABLE, once it is reactivated.
Maybe I'm speaking out of place, but I guess my personality is a little different from yalls. I think John Lennon was badass, but I hate it when people idolize him like he was some sort of god. I mean, he had a baby with one woman and then divorced her and went out will all kinds of women. And from what I've heard after Yoko and John had been together for a while she wasn't pleasing him anymore so she would go out and get girls to have sex with him. That's kinda messed up if you ask me. Im not a big fan of Yoko though. Im not sure why, but Its more then the part she played in the breakup of the beatles. A while ago she tried to get people to cut off peaces of her close for some charity thing or the other, but no one wanted to do it. Thats kinda strange because she didnt look so amazing back in the day either. My question specifically is, what kind of drugs did you know of John doing. Did he ever do any with you?
