A review in motion from Joe Viglione
This is Monday, the 20th of January, 1969, Day 8 of taping/audio recording / filming and the way Peter Jackson lets the story unfold, chronologically, as well as the crisp clarity of the 50+ years old aged film is remarkable.
This is a documentary on how to make a motion picture; this is a documentary on how to write songs on the spot by two of the greatest songwriters in pop history; this features Dick James (publisher of Elton John / Bernie Taupin) and the Beatles.
This is a film on how girlfriends break up bands. Paul's quote above: Paul: “She’s Great. She really is alright. They just want to be near each other," it's quite accurate. My first drummer's first wife would hang all over him WHILE DRUMMING at practice. It was disgusting. Then he lost interest in her so she asked me to be her "beard" and get him jealous. We showed up at a Winthrop carnival together. He wasn't phased in the least. He's on his third wife now in 2021...go figure.
So Yoko gets a bad rap. This happens in every single band. Two wives of two artists in one of the greatest American hard rock bands from the mid-west, both Born Again Christians, aren't speaking to each other, depriving millions of fans of the magic that rocked the 1970s and 1980s.
Women are the enemy of rock and roll bands. Yoko is the one caught on camera with the biggest band in rock history. File Under: The Yoko Effect. And we are only 6:35 in on Part 2 right now, so this review, out of necessity, is in pieces, fragments that I have to re-edit.
The dilemma of studying eight hours of film.
A document that will be utilized in colleges around the world for all the reasons above and more.

10:39 am (JV writing time) "We probably do need a central daddy figure. "Be there, 9 o'clock, leave the girls at home, lads." It's going to be an incredible sort of, comical thing like in 50 years time, you know, they broke up because Yoko sat on an amp." Paul McCartney26 November 26, 2021 Friday
Paul: “She’s Great. She really is alright. They just want to be near each other.”
