I want to tell you what it was really like to think death is imminent, but I can't. It's a taste in your mouth. And an emptiness.
To lose a son under those circumstances - a violent death like my son went through, it just puts a burden on your heart.

Yoko Ono never deserved any of the hate she got. Paul McCartney and John Lennon weren't getting along.
