hi
Isn't there a reference to wife beating in "Its getting better",
something like "I beat her and kept her away from the things that she
loved" but then he says "Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene and
I'm doing the best that I can".
Maybe the Beatles were a little ahead of their time in that they
acknowledged that wife beating was bad.

The good old days when women knew their place and if they stepped out of line, a good smack fixed that.
From A Hard Day's Write by Steve Turner:
Asked about the song years later, John admitted it referred to his aggressive tendencies, "I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has
learned not to be violent and regrets his violence."

That was one of John'sA truly admirable man. I can't imagine how anyone could defend his behavior.
earliest examples of his later writing style of dealing honestly and
openly with his own personal truths in his lyrics no matter how painful >they are. He didn't care what other people thought about his life and
how he dealt with it, that's for sure.

I remember Yoko saying that when John got angry he would hit a pillow. I'm not sure I believe it.
