“George and Pattie on the other hand were still trying to impress each other in their new found love. George would take John to one side enthusing over Pattie and the way she looked. ‘Hey, John, don’t you think she’s fantastic, just look at her, now John, doesn’t she look like Brigitte [Bardot]?’…”- Cynthia Lennon, A Twist Of Lennon

John and Mick awkwardly introduce the segment. John calls Mick “Michael” (Jagger’s given name) and Mick calls John “Winston” (Lennon’s middle name). Mick speaks in a dull accent, somewhat in the style of an American talk show host. “As you know, I’ve admired your work for so long, and I haven’t been able to get together with you so much as I want. Do you remember that old place off-Broadway?” John answers with an apparent non sequitur: “Oh, those were the days, I want to hold your man.” After a bit more banter, John gets up, hands Mick a bowl of macrobiotic rice that he’s been eating, and then sneers as he walks off camera. Mick calls after him: “Yer blues, John.” The scene makes absolutely no sense, although it is impossible not to notice that in the end, Mick is left in a subservient position.

An outtake from the film is even more revealing. As the camera rolls, Lennon surprises Mick by pretending to be gay; he pulls at Jagger’s jacket from behind and mock-seductively runs his hands over his chest. Once again, Mick seems lamblike in Lennon’s presence. The scene was rendered unusable because Lennon’s son Julian, age five, can be seen in the background pressing his lips against what is either an unlit, hand-rolled cigarette or (sigh) a joint. “Dad, I’ve got a little cigar!” he says innocently.
