In the film Imagine there is a clip of John singing Come Together in concert with these lyrics:
here come ol flat top he come groovin up slowly he got jew jew eyeball he one holy roller he got hair down to his knees got to be a joker cause he's so hard to please
he bag production he got ono sidebar(?) he one spinal cracker he got early walkers he (got?) hair, beneath! under! his knees hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
come together right now over me
On the words "over me" John softens his voice and waves his hand in imitation of a limp-wristed gay man.
I think Brian is the one who said, "one and one and one is three" and that's why he was killed.

I was listening to a early version of Come Together, and he says Ono sideburn. Could be a typical John playing around with words in the final version.
Or perhaps he meant Oh NO sideburn, not burned on his side? (but elsewhere?) John will drive us all crazy to the end of time.. Interesting...Brian's body was burned. But more to the point: Frian wore these hideous sideburns... ...and Brian would have said OH NOOOOO to that! Anyway...I could be wrong but on the live version from Imagine it sounds like John is singing "sidebar" - as from a courtroom? I just love it when John drives me crazy ;D

Ok Athenais, you made me dig through my collection, and the version I was thinking of was on the Anthology cd, imagine that! At about 1:35, listen for "Ono sideburn". Could be about Brian/Frian, never thought about it before, but your comment above about when John sang it live does make me wonder.. www.jojoplace.com/Shoebox/ComeTogether.mp3

He clearly says "Ono sideburns". Was Yoko a make-up artist then?

Sideburns are a well known trick to disguise where ear rubber prostheses attach.

Was Yoko a make-up artist then? Yeah she made up the idea that she had no idea that John "was famous Beatle"

Sideburns are a well known trick to disguise where ear rubber prostheses attach. Well..in all the examination that have been done of old pics, those darned sideburns are always in the way. Wanna look at the jawline? Sorry, no.. But I can see the prostheses angle as well.

Yoko knew exactly who Johnny was. She had her sights set on him and zeroed in like a missle. She got Johnny had his lowest and used drugs to keep him under her spell.
Maybe she had sideburns? ;D It could have referred to Bill wearing sidies in an attempt to cover plastic surgery scars.
Johnny and his Lennonistics can cause a person to go crazy but he had to do his best to get the news out and anyone who knew John at all knew his love of the double entendre, jobberwacky, and the fact he could actually sing backward. The man was a bloody genius and he was smarter than his "jailers".

Why did John say "here come ol' flat top"?
Flat top means having a military haircut, NOT being bald, and neither Paul or Brian had a crew cut.
Maybe instead he is talking about a car with a flat top...
...groovin up slowly
...being pulled out the water with a body inside...
...hair down to his knees
...and maybe that body was not found right away, but a long while after death.
Forgive me for saying it this way but "Faul vs. Paul" has been done to death. So too with the "Yoko is evil" routine. Let's stay on track with these threads please...

I temd to think that Yoko is as much a mystified participant in all this as everyone esle.
I realize that at times, some (and not just on these boards) have painted her as the evil, dominating rock-n-roll voo-doo priestess that busted up the Beatles. (Actually, some ladies would enjoy recieving that moniker...) But, I think Yoko is a lot more like everyone else than has been thought. True, she had positional advantages perhaps from family ties that helped her be in the art world, where she was in a position to be noticed ny John. I can't see that it was planned that he would fall in love with her.
John fell in love with Yoko.
If we give too much credit to so-called mind control (which says that magic and microwaves did it), then we sell everything cheap.
We might as well think that all of us are on these webboards because they beamed into our heads an order to become PID/PIA slaves, having been chosen by a mind control committee who's watching us from the Big Satellites. If its gone that far, we're cooked, so lets all go have a beer and watch the telly and forget it.
No,really, let's all go have a beverage of our choice, and watch some TV.
Are you coming?
Hello?
OK. Bye. [Sound of high-energy microwave frequencies killing the shrubs around Perplexed's apartment....]
