• Lennon Meeting Brigitte Bardot

    There are discussions of this encounter all over the Internet and in several books. Lennon had fantasized about Brigitte Bardot since he was a teenager. After the Beatles had made it, Bardot visited London -- and, it turned out, was eager to meet the
    Beatles. She invited several similarly beautiful women to her hotel room for the event.

    Instead of arriving with his bandmates, Lennon arrived with a flunky. Worse yet, he had been nervous and decided to try to quell his anxiety with LSD, of all things.

    Bardot attempted to engage Lennon several times -- only to have him adopt the lotus position and insist: "Don't ask questions; just feel the vibes."

    Bardot ended up leaving him alone several times in exasperation -- and he never did recover from the drug in her presence.

    This is where I would have quit acid myself, having blown an opportunity like that. I mean, Bardot was sufficiently interested to allow Lennon to her place. Who knows how events might have progressed had John been of sound mind.

    By some accounts, Bardot grabbed Lennon and tried to shake him into consciousness a few times.

    It sounds to me like his dreams could have come true that night if he had been alright.

    Early in Cynthia Lennon's book A Twist of Lennon, she discusses Lennon's getting her to dress and wear her hair like Brigitte Bardot. This resulted in unwanted attention from men who would approach Cynthia to ask: "How much?"
