january of 1975. it became a year of good news. yoko became pregnant and their son shawn was born on john's 35th birthday, october 9. that same day john learned that he finally won his immigration battle. this time he would choose family over year. >> i didn't really think about music at all. my guitar was sort of hung up behind the bed literally. >> he actually said for the first time in my life i don't have to do anything. i can now spend time with my new son and my life and not have to answer to anybody. >> it was i think the early '60s that was he signed to a record deal and he was either john lennon beatle or ex-beatle and this was a time where he could rediscover who he was. >> he was much older, wiser, could see his own short comings. that was apparent the first time around. he determines no one will be closer to his son the first time around than he is to shawn.
