An extremely interesting article on the Lennons' friendship with the Hong family of San Mateo.
The story is not "previously unreported," however; it was also told by Albert Goldman.
Also, the Lennon's turned to Chinese herbalist Dr. Hong for his help in getting them off methadone. They were introduced to that drug by an unsavory character named Dan Richter. You can see Richter in the "Above Us Only Sky" documentary, praising Yoko

Ah yes, Dan Richter. He was also the one who wanted to film the meeting between John and the homeless looking guy at Tittenhurst Park. Apparently, John objected, because he didn't want to exploit the fellow. He gave in eventually.
Richter goes out of his way in the Above Us Only Sky film to point out that Yoko wrote Imagine. "I love John, but these are her words" is what he says when reading some parts of Grapefruit."Imagine the clouds dripping. Dig a hole in your garden to put them in."
Yeah, that's clearly the basis of Lennon's "Imagine."
What a shameless lackey Richter is.

There is so much wrong with this. John had been writing dreamy songs, song about peace and love, etc. long before he met Yoko. Yes he got into writing political stuff around the time he met her, but I got the impression he had wanted to that for awhile, but was held back by Brian and the general image of the band. Imagine is supporting a lot of ideas from other John songs around that time, but no one is claiming that she wrote "Working Class Hero." And John using the phrase "imagine all the
Was he motivated and inspired by her? Sure. But "these were her words...." pffft.

claimed responsibility for the Beatles.Was he motivated and inspired by her? Sure. But "these were her words...." pffft.Yep. Yoko is simply greedy for credit for the achievements of others. She has a long pattern of it -- and of finding people who will abet this behavior (Mintz, Richter, Gruen, Sean Lennon, and most unfortunately, JL himself).
There's Yoko's supposed co-writing of "Imagine," her claims to being the original punk rocker, her purported invention of concept art, and so on. There's a Village Voice interview Ono gave during her separation from Lennon in the mid-70s in which she

Yeah, I think people are just "WHO is that guy?!" and there you have your documentary.
I've read that Spinozza did not enjoy working on RAM. I didn't know he also worked with G&R.

BTW, a Google search led me to some articles about Claudio. It turns out that he developed an obsession with the Beatles in the late 60s -- and with LSD. According to Claudio's brother, Curt would "eat acid like candy" (sound familiar?). At one point,he became convinced that he was Jesus (that sounds familiar, too).
Even though Claudio met Lennon and Lennon spoke to him and fed him, Claudio emerged from the encounter disappointed with Lennon because Lennon didn't live up to his expectations.
He came to regard Lennon as a phony.
In the late 80s, Claudio bought a small make-it-yourself airplane, which he crashed (and died in) while highly intoxicated.

I understand why people make such a fuzz about John's Jesus freak-out in '68, but SO MANY people who have been high have had such type of grand delusions. Obviously, people think it means John had a problem, but we already knew that anyway.
Even though Claudio met Lennon and Lennon spoke to him and fed him, Claudio emerged from the encounter disappointed with Lennon because Lennon didn't live up to his expectations.That sounds familiar as well.
He came to regard Lennon as a phony.that sounds even more familiar.
