'I'm not trying to take away from other people. I'm just saying: 'This is mine. Give me my dues.''
May Pang first came to Colorado in 1974, when she went to Caribou Ranch in Nederland with Elton John and her boyfriend, John Lennon. She helped with their rendition of"Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds"; then she and Lennon returned to their home in New York to tackle other projects. It was the busiest time of Lennon's solo career.
Judging from many accounts by his friends and peers, it was also one of the happiest times in his life. But a quote from Lennon calling his relationship with Pang"the lost weekend," as well as his wife Yoko Ono's insistence that she orchestrated the entire event, gave many the impression that it was just a drunken fling. And that's remained a thorn in Pang's side.
"And I've had people say to me, 'Well, aren't you happy enough? That you know that you did this?' I say, 'No, it's not enough.' I don't like the idea that somebody else is taking credit for me. I'm not trying to take away from other people. I'm just saying: 'This is mine. Give me my dues.'"and getting her dues, as Emily Ferguson reports. And her fans agree.
Great article! Good for May Pang for not letting anyone else tell her story. It must be very painful to have your relationship minimized by the whole world. A master manipulator for sure. John a musical genius, and so effed up. May Pang: sweet and caught up in insanity.It was actually Yoko Ono who coordinated their relationship. She wanted a break from him and thought John needed one, too. She thought Pang would be a good and safe bet, easily controlled.
runs through Sunday, September 24, at Bitfactory Gallery, 851 Santa Fe Drive. Will you go? What did you think of John Lennon?
