John Lennon's most hated photographs

John hated these photos of him on the beach from January 1966. After seeing them in Datebook magazine, he told editor Art Unger during the N. American tour that summer:

"I think I'll get one -- a big, colored, fat one to remind me how horrible it is when I'm fat. So I'll never get fat again. I still eat chocolates. I just think before I eat. I eat more when I've got nothing to do. That's the trouble. When I'm just sitting around in hotel rooms and sit for four hours, you're drinking Cokes all the time and stuffing little bits."

The Province

December 23, 1975

While vacationing in Hawaii recently, Paul McCartney made the mistake of taking on the rough surf near Koko Head, five miles outside of Honolulu.

"I was being dragged out and dragged back in by the waves, and I wasn't sure if I was eventually going to be dragged in or all the way out," said McCartney.

Paul made it back in one piece, however, after getting banged up on the rocks. Appearing at a party in orange zoris and a large bandage on his right foot, he observed, "Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out into the noonday sun and choppy Hawaiian surf."
