John Lennon Opens Up On WHY The Beatles Broke Up | The Dick Cavett Show

let's talk about that for a second because you know your car you've even been you've even been called the dragon lady who the lady who brought the Beatles apart and I took them all I have troubled English oh please give her the credit for all the nice music that George made and Ringo made and Paul made and I've made since they broke up but she did it that's true I know yeah you know aware of that I mean that the press always saw you as the the wedge that was driven in a night and drive a wedge in three places or whatever the other spaces are between four people but I thought that was that there are millions of girls who would love to have met let alone married one of the four any one of the four probably but certainly a lot of them but every thank you you know you think of him as it's one of the four you know yeah I mean or any one of the four etc because I just met him us another artist to know them and I didn't you know particularly realized that's not a bit maybe you were Beatles fan or before or would you say you were a Lennon fan before um neither never didn't carefully either ever know about a burning name she knew was Ringo because it means a quill in Japanese Ringo means mango means apple did you know that when you named your company Apple no no it's just one of those happy accident it's one of those happy Apple's yes happy applesauce bright number syllables Ringo if you spill it sideways spills groin yes stall backwards his rats I know it they're a lot of do you do those things too I think that I want to go along the road in the Carmel was doing the signpost backwards anyway she didn't split the Beatles because how could one girl split the Beatles or one woman yet the Beatles were drifting apart on their own you know you can remember when you realized that it was inevitable that you would split up no that's not it's like saying you know did you remember falling in love not quiet just sort of happens how long was it fine yeah well everything's fun off and on you know so I suppose it could have gone on being fun off and on or it could have gone worse I don't know it's just that when you grow up you know we don't want to be the crazy gang which they might know over here which is British or the Marx Brothers which is sort of being dragged on stage playing she loves you when we've got you know asthma and tuberculosis and when were fifty you know here they are again yesterday yeah a long time ago I said that I didn't want to be singing she loves you and I'm thirty I said that one was about 25 or something which in a roundabout way meant that I wouldn't be doing whatever I was doing then you know 30 when I was 30 last October and that's about when my life changed really nice especially for John I can say that he's at least sort of overgrown outgrown you know whatever they were in you know because I think it's very difficult for for artists were so brilliant and talented to be together and do everything together you know me just impossible myself whatever they were doing was almost miraculous you know that they were together [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you
