This Is Not Here exhibition in Syracuse, October 1971

The whole story in a nutshell is that we were having a meeting in 1969, and John showed up and said he’d met this guy Allen Klein, who had promised Yoko an exhibition in Syracuse, and then matter-of-factly John told us he was leaving the band. That’s basically how it happened. It was three to one because the other two went with John, so it was looking like Allen Klein was going to own our entire Beatles empire. I was not too keen on that idea.

This Is Not Here Press Conference at Everson Museum in Syracuse, NY (October 8, 1971)

Q: What do you think of Paul, John? A: I’ve changed, you know, he’s still the closest friend I’ve ever had except for Yoko. So I mean I’m still close to him whatever goes on.

On 9 October 1971, John Lennon’s 31st birthday, a retrospective exhibition of artworks by Yoko Ono opened at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse, New York.

The show looked back over 10 years of her career, and was billed as “A show of unfinished paintings and sculpture”. It ran until 27 October 1971.

The exhibition catalogue took the form of a collage in the shape of a newspaper, and was compiled by Lennon and Peter Bendry. The back cover featured a sequence of photographs of Lennon and Ono which morphed their faces from one to another. The sequence was later used on the labels for ‘Happy Xmas (War Is Over)’ and Some Time In New York City.

Guests for the opening night included Ringo Starr and his wife Maureen Starkey, Allen Klein, Phil Spector, Bob Dylan, Andy Warhol, Frank Zappa, Spike Milligan, Jack Nicholson, Dick Cavett, John Cage and Dennis Hopper. Lennon gave all visitors a silver necklace to mark the occasion. (x)

This Is Not Here

The main title “This is Not Here” recalls an experience during a gallery show in 1961, at which an ugly cabinet that was interfering with the exhibition space was tagged “this is not here,” in the spirit of Magritte’s famous painted image “Ceci n’est pas une pipe.” <…> The ground floor of the museum housed pieces like Painting to Shake Hands Through, Painting to Let the Evening Light Go Through, and a clear plexiglass labyrinth called Amaze, whose central cubicle was a two-way mirror-walled chamber containing a toilet! Although it is not a very difficult puzzle, the structure forces you to take part in a Conceptual event by making you arrive at something as familiar as a toilet. <…> A number of pieces in the show reiterate the theme of small, diverse parts in relation to a larger, cumulative unity. <…> Sizes (1964), a transparent box with mirrors and lenses embedded in its sides, converts the same needle into six different sizes; while Shadows encloses objects with different silhouettes, all casting shadows of the same size and shape. It is intended that Broken Vase Piece will be reassembled in ten years by those who gathered its shattered fragments.8 Film No. 4 (365 naked British bottoms, recorded as peace petition signatures in London, in 1968) is a bizarrely hypnotic and fixed-camera view of that number of moving buttocks. Of course, 365 units of anything could have been employed just as easily—days in a year, degrees of rotation around one’s head, stars, leaves, etc.—to demonstrate that although everything is an individual entity, sheer accumulation has the effect of dissolving the unique into the universal. <…> The second floor contained imaginary pieces such as those in the Weight Room, in which objects defied their normal density or gravity factors when lifted; indications like “imagine flowers in the (empty) museum planters”; and some cooperative pieces where John Lennon responded to older works of Yoko’s like an amiable Zen dialogue. Water Room was a collection of projects contributed by guests, to which the artist had promised to add only the water. (In its final stages, it turned out to be Conceptual, rather than actual water.) <…> During the month that the Everson show was in progress, WNET, Channel 13, aired an hour of Yoko Ono’s work on its Free Time series, October 14th. The program was largely excerpts from past pieces: Grapefruit in the World of Park (mind music), film shorts, Think/Feel/And/Do/Tank, Bag Piece, or Fly performed by John Lennon and others, and several events and paintings.

(“This Is Not Here” - A Report on the Yoko Ono Retrospective at Syracuse by Emily Wasserman, January 1972)

Much of the show consisted of Miss Ono's ephemeral concepts and word ‐ plays given slightly less fragile embodiment, A huge letter “T” made of ice melted in an outdoor courtyard„ for instance (“Iced Tea”), and indoors there were such objects as “Painting to Let the Evening Light Go Through,” a clear Plexigiass sheet that Mr. Lennon said was his favorite work; “Imagine the Flowers,” a row of empty flower pots, and “Cloud Piece,” a water bed on which the viewer could “lie down and watch until a cloud passes from right to left.” “Total communication can mean peace,” declared Miss Ono, clad in a black velvet hotpants suit, at a preview of the show on Friday. “The artist can change the world and values in the world.” Stressing the importance of viewer participation in her work, she said, “We're all audience and we're all artists. You're all involved.” (Before the press preview was over, there was a good deal of participation: the apple was eaten to its core, a Venetian vase sent by Peggy Guggenheim as a “watercontainer” was smashed, and an antique eyeglas case and a set of false teeth were missing from their vitrines.) Modestly insisting that his role in the show was subordinate to Miss Ono's, Mr. Lennon, whose 31st birthday was marked by the show's opening, explained, “She thinks up beautiful pure concept things, and I come up with a gimmicky reaction.” For his guest stint, he contributed such works as a wardrobe of edible clothes, and a number of films and pieces “in dialogue” with Miss Ono, among them a huge “Baby Grand Guitar” next to which she had placed only the neck of another guitar and the legend, “Imagine the body.”

(The New York Times, October 11, 1971)

John and the guests of his birthday party drunkly sang many old and new songs including What’d I Say, Yellow Submarine, Goodnight Irene, Take This Hammer, He’s Got The Whole World In His Hands, Bring It On Home To Me, Yesterday, Maybe Baby, Peggy Sue, My Baby Left Me, Heartbreak Hotel, Blue Suede Shoes, Crippled Inside and Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey

Also during the party, a Japanese reporter interviewed Lennon and Ono. The recording, which featured a high degree of tension between the couple, became known as The Argument Interview, and was later aired on the US radio series The Lost Lennon Tapes. (x)

In the fall of 1971 Connolly travelled to the US to cover Yoko’s show in Syracuse. During this trip, John pulled Ray aside and asked him to do him a favor. He asked Ray to get in touch with Paul when he was back in London — with a message to call him. Apparently John wanted to talk to Paul and he believed if he called Paul himself it would devolve into a screaming match.  Ray did as requested when he returned to London. He went to Paul’s home and though he wasn’t able to connect with Paul, he did leave him a message in his letterbox. When he followed up a few days later, it was Jim McCartney that answered the phone and he shut Ray down, telling Ray not to get involved, that things had moved on.

This is important for me to say.. I may not be the perfect fan, I may not be the most devoted, I don’t have the most merch, I haven’t been to the most shows, I may not be able to be the one at the front of the pit, I wasn’t able to make a show until 2 years ago even though I’ve loved your music since 2014. Halsey you’ve walked me to my classes, you’ve been at my parties, my loneliness, my victories, my failures, and even my wedding. I don’t have the biggest stan presence on twitter, I don’t have a follow. And honestly none of that matters to me. You do, your music does, your life does.

I wish you didn’t see the hate online, I wish you could hear the way I talk about your music to my husband, I wish you could hear the way I sing your music as a lullaby to my baby, I wish you could see the love in my eyes for you. I wish I could hold your hand and tell you all this. I know that won’t make the hateful things go away I just know that’s how I feel and I wanted you to hear it too.

You were right in front of me all along

How could I miss such a pretty face?

I'm sorry it took so long to look your way

Maybe you just weren't meant for me

I'm sorry my heart belongs to the moon

I'm waiting patiently for him

I'll pray till my knees are bruised

Till my eyes can no longer cry

Till my eyes are dry

Till my love comes to me

Till my heart is no longer in pain

Till my prayers are filled with love and joy

Till my fleeting mind can stay still and feel at home

Till my body no longer rocks me to sleep

Till my heart no longer cries me to sleep

When will you come to me?

I love you so much already it hurts

Please make the pain go away

I need you to come get me out right now

I need you to come wrap me up in your love now

I want to leave the feelings of reckless and abandoned

Tragic yet magic

My heart is a muscle but it’s not getting stronger

I want to wake up one day without my heart sinking to my feet

Instead with you in my arms

With your laugh tickling my brain

With each breath you take I steal a kiss

With each exhale in my lungs

Till I'm filled with every fibre of your being

I want you to devour me

I want to devour you

Subtle yet achingly obvious

My love for you is endless

yoongi literally becoming fluent in english just so he can tease his english speaking besties in ig comments NO ONE WILL EVER HAVE MY HEART LIKE HE DOES I LOVE HIM SO MUCHHHH

[plateauofmemories]

One of my problems, that I'm sure is not unique on this website, is that I will associate a song with some character or ship or something, as you do.

And when I do this TOO strongly, this association becomes permanent.

And can be dredged up

Years later

(even if I forgot)

Soon as the song starts

[jackleopard]

Something about songs related to babies just gets me every single time
