"There were so many but let me say 'Woman'. I just thought it was so beautiful – the overall sentiment about women. I know it's said that it was written for Yoko, but I always felt it was written for all the women in his life, a little bit like 'In My Life', looking back in retrospect. It was such a gentle, beautiful love song, and that's how I'd rather remember him than for his battling political songs or for all the anger that came out. I just felt that at the end he was mellowing and softening." This is from a Cynthia Lennon interview I found at: www.chrishunt.biz/features02.html |

Interesting that Cynthia chose a song that she admits was probably written for Yoko, rather than one that was written for her.

Well, she did say she felt it was written for all women. It's a beautiful song - one of my favourites.  |

John Lennon said that it was written for all women rather than just Yoko. I think the clip of him saying that was on the 'Imagine' documentary.

I know the quote you mean. I think I've got a sound file of it somewhere.

Yeah. Cannot quite remember what interview it was originally from...if it was from an interview.

Nice pick. The fact that she accepts Yoko as John's wife at that time amazes me. She's good with it. Not a lot of women would act like that.

Wow. I read that interview. I feel so horrible for her. If I were her, I would be SO miserable, I couldn't stand it. I would want to die.
