Correct. John had recorded a vocal demo on his home tape-deck, Yoko had kept this and gave it to Paul, who wrote the bridge- the "Whatever happened to..." part- and Paul, Ringo and George got together at Apple to lay down their instrumental and vocal tracks. One other thing that makes this different from other Beatles tunes is the fact that George Martin didn't produce. Jeff Lynne of Electric Light Orchestra and Travelling Wilburys fame did- he also played and sang back-up vocals. Well, Jeff always said he wanted to be a Beatle- he got his wish here!

I remember a quote from Ringo (I think) that was made around the time that Anthology came out- they were offered an unheard-of guarantee of $1,000,000 per show if the 3 remaining Beatles would do a world tour. The quote was something along the lines of "Absolutely we'll tour again, the minute that John's not dead anymore".

LOL

Wait a minute, wasn't this made for the Beatles Anthology? If I recall correctly these were just takes of songs that they never completed as a group that got the final mix laid down and published. Okay I just checked Wiki:

"All of the then-surviving Beatles members filmed new interviews to add to older interviews with John Lennon, who was murdered by Mark David Chapman in 1980. The first episode ended with a promotional video for the brand new Beatles track, "Free as a Bird", created from an archive Lennon recording supplied by his widow Yoko Ono."

Yoko Kanno music is just one of the reasons why Cowboy Bebop is *the* stand out anime of all times on my list. Tied with Full Metal Alchemist.

She talks down to him, like he's a child who is thinking too simply about how things have to work in the adult world. She comes across as extremely closed minded, and obviously didn't come to argue, just to tell him he and Yoko were silly.

I didn't know the ghost of Brian Epstein tried to warn him about his assasination...
