The musically-related real estate keeps coming. The latest is John Lennon's former home in Britain. The six-bedroom home outside Weybridge, Surrey, is where he lived as the Beatles rose to fame. Lennon, his wife Cynthia and son Julian lived at the house from 1964 to 1968. According to the article in Bloomberg, in1968, while Cynthia was in Greece, Lennon brought Yoko Ono to the house known as Kenwood. Cynthia Lennon returned home to find Yoko in her house and wearing her bathrobe. Oh if these walls could talk. The home, which also has a playroom, sauna and swimming pool is up for sale for 5.95 million pounds ($11.1 million).

[Thanks, Lana]

re #15 yes they did involve Lennon, but there was such acrimony during the last year or so that Paul, John, and George each laid down their tracks separately and producer-extraordinaire George Martin mixed them. the only one who got along with all 3 of them the whole time was Ringo

ALL OF YOU CRITICS SHOULD BE ASHAMED If you have ALWAYS been perfect But We all know better

Remember a Great Man who brought joy to multi generations and his son who sounds almost exactly like his Father who was murdered by a Nut-case who never should see the sun shine again

His personal life should be left at that PERSONAL All you dirt collecting busibodies must reall be miserable in you life I feel sorry for you Honor his memory

Who really cares about what happened in John Lennon's personal life. The fact is most people have skeletons in their closets. His were magnified because of his fame. Compared to many of the "modern" day movie stars and rock band personalities that many people adore today, he isn't much different. It seems that people crave to hear and live to gossip about what goes wrong in other people's lives, especially the rich and famous, when they should be concentrating on improving their own lives. After all no matter how rich and famous, they're all still human.

Folks: Be nice. Live and let live!

Well I must say I recently say a documentary about John, the Beatles, and Yoko that was a lot of fun. Poor John...he wanted to be famous and important so bad, I guess because England had made him feel like such a loser when he was a boy. There can be no doubt that he was a GREAT and revolutionary artist. Yoko was a revolutionary and a damn good artist too. AND they were great in bed, both publically and privately;
so how can anyone fault either one of them...they both had HUGE egos, which they both needed to get where they got to. God bless all the Beatles, but especially John and George, and George Martin and Brian Epstein too -- without them the Fab Four are just another flash in the pan like Dave Clark and the rest. The Beatles' Pop Music accomplishments will never be equaled. It's a lesser world now. Cheers...

john's first wife was cocky bitch. first of all she didn't support his music. then as soon as he starts to get famous she starts acting like a princess. why the hell was she in greece?! why wasn't she with him?! ppl say he abandoned her and julian, but it's kinda hard to abandon someone who was never there for you in the first place. john and yoko had their issues, but at least she was there for him. she didn't break up the beatles. paul and john did that on their own! their creative differences drove them to the edge. while everyone was ganging up against him, yoko was THE ONLY ONE who had his back at the time. why the hell should we cut the rest some slack?! they may have had their differences, but at least they were there for each other. i'd love to get that house, tho. it's just a beautiful estate, no matter who lived there and what issues they had when they did.

No one mentioned that Oko's first husband took their daughter and flat disappeared with the kid because of her being such a tramp. Even Johns money couldnt find him or get the kid back ! His first wife got ZILCH from him and his first son was treated like he didn't exist and Oko wouldn't even let the kid come around and that is why she had a kid herself ! When John died she wouldn't give his first kid a penny he had to BEG for it.She was behind the breakup up his marriage and the band .

Sean Oct 15th 2006 12:33PM

It's probably good that he didn't live to be 100. Can you imagine his distain for the world today?

judy Oct 15th 2006 12:39PM

People throw the word LOVE around here left and right. How can you love someone you never met, didn't know personally? We liked his music and thought he had great tallent but you don't worship some guy becuase he had talent as a singer lol. He had great talent that is for sure but as a human being he was all about himself and Oko. I personally have never worship anyone and especially peopel who do drugs and treat their kid like he doesn't exist, a little kid who did nothing wrong. I have no idea where people get the idea that he supported Jullian and his first wife LOL She worked as a waitress to support her self. Wow that must have been nice for her when the tramp that ruined her life lived like a queen lol

dru Oct 15th 2006 12:39PM

you people all need to remeber what john and the other beatles meant to the public. they brought hope, love, and peace in a time of war and confusion. sure he cheated on his wife, but he was only human.

Ken Oct 15th 2006 5:40PM

Everyone has skeletons in their closets and life is full of changes whether your famous or not. It seems that everyone must find faults of the famous to bring them down to regular person status which they just want to be anyway. Give peace a chance!!!!!!

Anna Oct 15th 2006 12:46PM

I love Jphn Lennon for his music but he was one screwed up individual. I believe he also cheated on Cynthia with his manager Brian Epstein. I don't remember if it was a one time thing or what! But that's what I read! RIP John!

I'm so surprised by how many of you view a person as simply good or bad because of their sexual behavior. Most of you were not around during the sexual revolution so it's impossible to just simplify how all the standards of the past were being thrown out the door. Today they're alive and well but during the 60's it was totally different. We believed in change and it was happening everywhere, right or wrong, change becomes extreme in the beginning.
John was a man who changed the world, he helped end the war that's why Nixon was affraid of him. He was a talented dreamer, who believe in a better world. But all anyone seems to do is to deminish him because his relationship with his first wife. How many of you have been kind to those you've left? What he did sexually should not be any of our business, it just was. However, it doesn't take away from what a great, talented man he was.

Marie Colavito Oct 15th 2006 12:49PM

Is this the way we remember John Lennon?? The greatest
musician of our time. What a shame, John and the Beatles revolutionized music, with many wonderful songs
Along comes a gossip monger to spoil memories, and who
says this gossip is true? He also was hounded by the
press, the same press that hounded Princess Diana.
Give the readers a break and stow the gossip.

MaryEllen Parr Oct 15th 2006 11:38PM

Come on now let John rest in peace what done is done.
Don't for get he still has kids they don't need to see
all being said about pass of there family.
AS can see he was trying to find love he needed. We all would do the same thing think about it.

Dan Oct 15th 2006 12:50PM

John Lennon may have been ahead of his time and maybe even a musical genius but that doesn't insure him to be a great man. He saw something in the band and pushed it...it worked. Money added to his already bad charater by making it easier to do anything he wanted. Most of us could't stand scrutiny if we were in that position, but I still think he was awful for the way he treated his family. I am no more impressed with Yoko Ono--for the way she lived her life or for her "talent". I don't know why we think someone is a genius when they succeed in their field. Musicians will always say he was one because they would be ostracized if they didn't. I think he was bright but he wasn't that great of a person.

cjs Oct 15th 2006 12:54PM

While I enjoyed some/most of the music from this group, I am less than interested in their personal lives. Not many of us could be held up to the microscope of public opinion and fare well. Let the man rest in peace, he apparently had (or provided)little in his life.

judy Oct 15th 2006 12:59PM

JOhn helped end what war roflmao. Lennon had jack to ending the war in Nam. He never donated anything to anyone. He and oko laid in bed in store windows,got busted for drugs,acted like they were really the "it" people. He made great music and thats about it. People who worship "stars" have a few screws not too tight. Being a "60" person who never fell into the drug trap and the free love crap I can sit back and remember very clearly what the 60' were all about.. SEX DRUGS AND ROCK AND ROLL. Free love was an excuse to sleep with anyone you felt like it and not be ashamed because it was the "in" thing (not to mention the amount of VD that got passed around " . The hippies panhandling on the street the communes. The guys that wouldn't serve in Viet Nam in the name of peace,fleeing to Canada LOL John Lennon had zilch to do with Nam LOL anymore than Barry Manilow will stop this crap in Iraq. John was no saint and all he did was write and sing. He will never be cannonized as a saint LOL

kim Oct 15th 2006 12:59PM

Yoko stalked him, and eventually had him killed. thats a true she devil.

Nicholas DiFabbio Oct 15th 2006 1:20PM

Everyone please just chill out. Take a look around at all the human frailties that are displayed everyday in the headlines, and right next door. John was a complicated person. At the heart of it, he was a great communicator, songwriter, and singer. I've read much on him and the Beatles. They were good all people caught up in something that very few could deal with without error.
