The bridging period, please; 65-68.

Fat for me every time.

Got to be fat, I think, though he looked better skinny. Goldman's book has him down as being downright anorexic by the time of his murder, but as ever I'm not sure how much of that book to believe.

Fat Lennon would be a good band name...not as good as Bald Britney, but close...

Julia secures my vote for skinny Lennon.

Weird.. those 2 pics at the top of the thread were probably 6 months apart from each other ?? If that..

i remember reading that the beatles got quite chubby around the time of their early success because epstein was taking them out for fancy dinners every night. maybe it was in "revolution in the head" i dunno.

What's weirder is that all the weight he lost was from his neck/jowl area.

dynamicinterface, Saturday, 27 February 2010 16:00 (fifteen years ago)

I think it was McCartney in Anthology that said writing Help had a lot to do w/ his weight gain.

Granted, this was McCartney speaking.

But I yo-yo about the same amount as Lennon, and I always go long for the 150 me rather than the 175 me, so gotta vote skinny Lennon.

you can beat my box any time (PappaWheelie V), Saturday, 27 February 2010 16:42 (fifteen years ago)

...and those photos are at least a full year apart.

Butcher photo was not later than 1965.

1966 was Revolver & How I Won the War

1967 was psych photo shoots.

The pix are 14 months apart.

Butcher photo is March 1966. Psych shot (actually pre-release party for Sgt. Pepper) is May 1967.

I didn't know where to place "I Am the Walrus" in this, as Lennon appears to have temporarily fattened up around Magical Mystery Tour time. He was definitely rail thin in 1980, there's one thing Goldman got right.

u girlz have a funny definition of "fat." K. Carpenter next plz.

Fusty Moralizer (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 27 February 2010 17:23 (fifteen years ago)

OK, he was mid-sized in Magical Mystery Tour.

Josefa, Saturday, 27 February 2010 17:29 (fifteen years ago)

Naw, he was pretty thin in MMT. Look at the Walrus video and the footage of him walking around in that pinstripe suit.

If we say he's thin here and we award "I Am the Walrus" to Skinny Lennon, does that make anyone switch over to the Skinny side?

"I was eating and drinking like a pig, and I was fat as a pig, dissatisfied with myself, and subconsciously I was crying for help. It was my fat Elvis period."
