Yoko and The Beatles

The amount of editing and censorship I had to do to keep this video from getting age restricted (including even the Birth of Venus gag) was funny at first, then it was frustrating, and then it was just farcical, at points veering into disrespectful once it gets into heavier territory towards the middle of the video (which is why there's an unaliving prevention service at the bottom of the video). It took me almost a week of trial and error to make it inoffensive enough to be seen by people who are not logged into the app.
If you want to see the uncensored version of this video (trust me, it’s better), as well as every other video I've produced in the last three years you can do so here: nebula.tv/videos/lindsayellis-the-ballad-of-john-a… or on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/lindsayellis
To be clear, these other videos will never be on YouTube, because they are Nebula Originals - Nebula owns the distribution rights. This one was not an Original.

Yoko Ono didn't break up The Beatles, but she did reunite Lindsay Ellis and Youtube
-
Yoko ono once randomly followed me on twitter and then unfollowed me soon after, I like to thing it was performance art.
-
Sent my mom, a lifelong beatles fan, this video. After watching it, she told me “People really hate Yoko that much? I never thought she was really all that bad except for being kind of pretentious.” My dad, who hates the beatles, told me after watching this, “God, if she really did break them up, I’d sing her praises every day.”
-
I love how you tied so many other celebrities' stories together (Britney Spears, Kurt Cobain, Monica Lewinsky) and found patterns between all of them, it's fascinating to see
-
you know the video is about to be fire when you get the suicide prevention disclaimer beforehand
-
in regards to the hatred of Yoko, I really don't think it's easy to overstate how easy it is to dismiss her based on the fact that people just think she's weird. people tolerate odd in a cutesy way, but the second weirdness becomes uncomfortable or awkward people react with a kind of violent hatred that I don't think they consciously understand or even notice.
-
I really appreciate the idea you've put forth about how fans and viewers allow these fully conscious adult people to become infantilized by some "bad influence," rather than accepting that people are fallible and will inevitably do things we don't like. Especially realizing that so much of it is rooted in misogyny. Thank you for such a thoughtful analysis. It's led me to reevaluate a lot of how I consume media and celebrities.
-
I wish I hadn't delayed watching this video. The part about Lee Harvey Oswald is shockingly prescient given recent events.
-
Seeing John Lennon vehemently insist that his black friends gave him permission to say the N-word is a level of cringe that you can never truly prepare for.
-
finding out Yoko co-wrote Imagine, and is the female vocal on War is Over was like discovering the secret identity of Superman.
-
Watched the Nebula version because of what you said in the description. The beginning, but also the latter parts of the video is surprisingly, profoundly sad. Thank you for making this video and sharing all the bits and pieces you've found in your research.
-
The absolute vitriol that Bill Burr feels for Yoko Ono in that clip, despite never having even met her, is crazy. Like genuinely why should he give so much of a crap for this random person?
-
Lindsay: "For thousands of years I lay dormant! Who dares disrupt my slumber?" Random guy: "You know Yoko broke up the Beatles, right?" Lindsay: ...
-
It’s simply horrific to learn that in the immediate wake of John’s murder, Yoko was plagued with death threats, bomb threats, suicides of fans, theft and betrayals from people looking to cash in. How sick people can be.
-
I knew almost nothing about the Beatles before this and even was misinformed about some other topics touched on and I am so incredibly glad you came back to do this video
-
Man, after even after all this time, Lindsey really is the cream of the video essayist crop...
-
This is so thorough, detailed, heartfelt, and poignant.
-
"Nobody ever said anything about Paul having a spell over me when I was with him for a long time. Or me having a spell over Paul. They didn't think that was abnormal. Two guys together." Don't worry John, it's just that nobody had invented AO3 yet
-
Had to do a double take when I saw Lindsey was back. This made my day. Your work is so in depth and thoughtful- hopefully there is more to come.
-
Thanks for sharing this on Youtube. I loved this video on Nebula, and it's something that deserves wide reach considering every theme it touches.
