J Lennon page 32 by ric gustafson
It is late summer 1973. John and Yoko's marriage had been falling apart. Yoko wanted time and space away from John. An idea came to Yoko's mind. Yoko approached 22 year old May Pang. Pang was one of the couple's assistants. Yoko told Pang that she and John were going to be apart for awhile. She asked Pang if she would be willing to be John's girlfriend during this time. Pang, who was single, said no. Over time when John became interested in her, Pang changed her mind.
Before leaving for Los Angeles with Pang, John finished up a new album. It was called ' Mind Games'. John and Pang flew to California in late summer 1973. This time period in John's life had been dubbed ' the Lost Weekend'. It was actually a productive time in John's life. John finished up three solo albums. John's son Julian joined him and they reestablished a relationship. John met Elton John. They became fast friends. May tried to keep John heading down a positive path.
By April of 1974, John is ready to return to New York.
