John and Yoko-- love them or hate them, you have to admit that they were a pretty fantastic couple. Whether holding Bed-Ins for peace or creating music-- experimental or otherwise -- John and Yoko (or as they preferred 'johnandyoko') made some pretty great and groundbreaking things together. Personally I think that they are quite adorable together. I used to be an adamant anti-Yoko type of Beatles fan, one who was convinced that she singlehandedly broken up the Beatles and lured John into her spell and successfully controlled his life. But after watching "Imagine: John Lennon" documentary the other night, and after reading bits of interviews, I have come to think that they were just so overwhelmingly in love that they sort of blocked out their world around them (like the Beatles, Cynthia Lennon, etc.) and saw only each other. As John said in 1980, after he met Yoko, "the boys [the Beatles] became of no interest whatsoever other than being old school friends," going on to quote saying,"'those wedding bells are breaking up that old gang of mine'."http://www.john-lennon.com/playboyinterviewwithjohnlennonandyokoono.htm
