    John's resentment seemed to peak in the early
    1970s -- in spite of his claim that his 1970
    album "Plastic Ono Band" was "the best thing
    I've ever done."

    Clearly he was on 'something' when he made that statement!

    I'm looking for theories as to what had transformed
    John into such an angry person.

    Apart from waking up and seeing Yoko's head on the pillow next
    to him each morning?

    To me it looked like the frustration of seeking but not finding.

    John was dismissive of his best (though far
    from perfect) solo album, Walls & Bridges,
    in that interview, too. Why? Because he
    was away from Yoko when he created it.

    I genuinely think Yoko used some sort of hypnotism on John so
    that he thought and said exactly what she wanted him too...

    Either that or she was really hot in bed!!!

    I can't imagine any amount of "hot in bed" making up for having to
    hear that voice - especially on a regular basis.

    The previous day, while fried on the drug, Lennon
    had wanted to hold a press conference to announce
    to the world that he was Jesus Christ.

    That would have been fun!!! :-)

    The voice? I'd find looking at her face on a regular basis bad
    enough.

    According to May Pang, when Apple representative Tony King met her and John in Los Angeles, John gave Tony a tape of his new record "Mind Games" and asked him for advice. He wanted to know how Tony thought he should promote the album.

    King hesitated, then told John that he needed to "Let people know that you're okay." John needed to abandon the angry persona he had been projecting in interviews for some years and convey to the public that he was happy and healthy.

    In his early-to-middle-period Beatles interviews, Lennon was humorous, witty, and sometimes irreverent. By the late 1960s and particularly the 1970s, something had changed. Lennon became resentful of his fellow Beatles and of seemingly the whole
    Beatles experience.

    John's resentment seemed to peak in the early 1970s -- in spite of his claim that his 1970 album "Plastic Ono Band" was "the best thing I've ever done."

    He always was the slightly bolshie antagonistic member, right from the
    very early days. And probably to a degree since childhood.

    Just became more extreme as 'time moved on'.
