You must have been reading Goldman's ridiculous diatribe that incidentally Cynthia and Yoko both sued him for libel for. Do you seriously think Yoko Ono (an amazing creative independent woman in her own right) would have stood by John for so long had he not been a kind man? I suggest you read John's book "Skywriting By Word Of Mouth" to truly understand who he was. Your post on today of all days is just bloody sad. Couple that with who the fuck is Chris Brown?
