 In March 1974 , Lennon began producing Harry Nilsson 's Pussy Cats album , thus named to counter the " bad boy " image the pair had earned in the media with two drinking incidents at The Troubadour : the first when Lennon placed a <unk> on his forehead and scuffled with a waitress at a concert given by Ann Peebles , who at the time had released one of Lennon 's favorite records , ' I Can 't Stand The Rain ' and , two weeks later , when Lennon and Nilsson were ejected from the same club after heckling the Smothers Brothers . Lennon thought it would be a good idea for the musicians to live under one roof to ensure they would get to the studio on time , so Pang rented a beach house in Santa Monica , for her , Lennon , Nilsson , Ringo Starr and Keith Moon to live in . At this time , Pang encouraged Lennon to reach out to family and friends . He and Paul McCartney mended fences and played together for the first and only time after the breakup of The Beatles ( see A Toot and a Snore in ' 74 ) . Pang also arranged for Julian Lennon to visit his father for the first time in almost four years .
