John Lennon and Yoko sitting in their fur coats is the repulsive image I think of when I think of Lennon.
I just swear whenever I hear that dreary tripe.I have been known to walk out of shops at Christmas time if Merry Christmas Everybody (War Is Over) comes on the PA system.
There is a song on the Imagine album called 'How do you sleep?'. It is basically a teenage whinge of Lennon against McCartney. There is a clip of an outtake of the song where Lennon sings 'How do you sleep at night you bleep?'. It is the biggest load of tripe any ex-Beatle recorded and that's including The Frog Song, Mull of Kintyre and anything by the Travelling Wilburys.Tbh I think I hating Imagine is a pretty common thing. That kind of mawkishness is very polarising.
Surely it should be hater, not dreamerYou really should have sang 'you may say l'm a dreamer...l'm not the only one'
It’s called loveI don’t understand why Emma is with him, she could’ve done so much better.
Matt Willis that is.
My OH is similar and I love him. It’s hard to watch sometimesIt must be so stressful, married to an addict. Constantly suspicious, always on the alert for signs of drinking or using. I couldn’t do it.
Did I dream it or did the Daily Mail try to imply Agnetha and Bjorn were getting close again quite recently? It would be nice to think they had at least made peace with each other. I know Bjorn has had health issues.It is actually Agnetha’s favourite Abba song. She told the Mail on Sunday in 2013 ‘Björn wrote it about us after the breakdown of our marriage. The fact that he wrote it exactly when we divorced is touching really’ she explained. ‘It was fantastic to do that song because I could put in such feeling. I didn’t mind sharing it with the public. It didn’t feel wrong. There is so much in that song. It was a mixture of what I felt and Björn felt, but also what Benny and Frida went through.’

Didn't Lennon put a brick through McCartney's window once?There is a song on the Imagine album called 'How do you sleep?'. It is basically a teenage whinge of Lennon against McCartney.

Ringo actually visited Lennon during the session and told him to stop, so it could have been even worse.
Supposedly, but no one has ever confirmed it.Didn't Lennon put a brick through McCartney's window once?
I never saw the show, but a friend married a lady who’d been on it. They were a fabulous couple and he sadly died very young two years agoWeakest tea imaginable, but I used to work with someone from The Salon
It was a few years after the show and she was lovely!

I think there’s going to be a documentary on Gert van der Graf soon. I can’t imagine what Agnetha was thinking to get involved with him. As you say, she was probably very fragile at that time. As for Björn and Agnetha, they will always be connected through their children and grandchildren and are on good terms, but as far as I’m aware Björn has a relatively new partner called Christina after splitting from his wife of around 40 years.Did I dream it or did the Daily Mail try to imply Agnetha and Bjorn were getting close again quite recently?

Everyone probably knows the awful tale of Agnetha having a fling with the obsessive Dutch fan, Gert van der Graf (and he is not a pretty sight) - think it was 1997? He alleged Agnetha was stilll very bitter about the break up with Bjorn, even then. I suspect Agnetha (who was pretty much agoraphobic at the time) was very fragile emotionally.
