Same, I read that Coming Up was the McCartney song that encouraged Lennon to make music again.

It sounds like John had a different story for every interview he gave.

ETA: This does appear on the Wiki page for Rock Lobster so it must be true. It also does mentioned that Yoko did sing the song with them at a 1982 concert.

Also from Wikipedia

“John Lennon, who was in the Beatles with McCartney, described "Coming Up" as "a good piece of work", and it prompted him to return to recording in 1980. After hearing it on the radio for the first time, Lennon reportedly stated "Fuck a pig! It's Paul!" Lennon later stated his preference for the studio version over the live version that was released as a single: "I thought that 'Coming Up' was great and I like the freak version that he made in his barn better than that live Glasgow one. If I'd have been with him I would've said 'that's the one' too. And I thought that the record company had a nerve changing it round on him, and I know what they mean, they want to hear the real guy singing, but I like the freaky one."

I agree with John, I only listen to the studio version of that song.

I also think I read that Lennon seeing the drum kit in the "Coming Up" music video was part of his inspiration to start recording again, because it goofed on the Plastic Ono Band.

I learned from Saint Wikipedia that Shaq is 7′1″ in height and weighs 325. Simone is 4'8" and weighs 104. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, the USA has won three gold medals, seven silver medals and four bronze medals so far – and Simone should help the gymnastics team to win a few more.

This is from USA TODAY. Yay! Hooray!

"Led by the incomparable Simone Biles, the U.S. women's gymnastics team coasted to yet another Olympic gold medal Tuesday night at Bercy Arena, finishing atop the podium for the third time in the four most recent trips to the Summer Games. They finished nearly six points ahead of the silver medal winners Italy, with Brazil grabbing bronze."

You do understand this was a live sporting event, covered by like 100 film crews at the same time. Do you have the same thoughts about other live sports?

I was just commenting on his decision that video was his only form of proof. I don't really have any interest in the subject being discussed just a passing by observation.
