Tom could really be an idiot. It was as if he didn't want Lennon to demystify the 'Beatle-thang', but Lennon went forward anyway. While he (Lennon) outlined the importance of getting laid, the part about his and George and Paul's genius got lost. What a loss! Their early songs were not mockery, but they became mockery later. The early stuff was more like a diary that American kids could relate to. But Snyder couldn't reflect on that because he was following a script. No deepness. Idiot.
@speeddave00: let's invent a time machine and save John. Wouldn't it just be incredible to have John as a dinner guest and pick his brain. I would grab two guitars of mine and play Julia while he sang. Imagine, imagine that!
They were going to kill him either way. I listen to his solo Music Everyday for years and, It still sound's as fresh and wonderful as it always has. If I could sum John up in one word it would be God.
@speedave00 He wanted to Kiss and put his Five year Old to Bed. The Scumbag CIA Loco Trash would have came back a week or month or year later, to get his rock's off. Believe me, I wish I was the limo Driver and knew what the Tragic Demise that took place on that cold Monday night. I would have ran him over and over with the Car, John and Yoko would have been Shocked! But when they would have got the 38 off of him they would give me 2 year's maybe in jail.I have newpaper clips my mom gave me.....
this guy seem to have come out from some john lsd trip
**somthing in the middle of a clown a CIA agent a junkie himself a nazist a torturer an homosexual a cheap elvis impersonator a pusher a celebrity killer a dentist an insurance seller an astronaut nd something else
Also I think Snyder does a great interview. He doesn't ask the usual shitty interview questions, he actually asks stuff that makes Lennon think and give his own views on, and it bounces between them like a conversation.
Lennon's ideas at 1:00 are pretty profound really. Every mainstream performer nowadays is pretty much in the business because sex sells, and sex sells to get more sex.
I don't mind Snyder. Yes, very ironic how he goes on about drug use etc, but better this kind of interviewer than a suck up kind like you find nowadays.
Good old Tom Snyder. Most of his interviews he could've wrapped up in about 10 minutes. When John describes groupies and the perks of being a celebrity, anyone w/ an IQ over about 60 knew exactly what he meant. Tom belabors the point for another 15 minutes like he's trying to figure it all out. John must've been thinking: "Man, this guy's a little dense".
The funny thing is that Tom Snyder is plastered--check out his history. He ended up losing the entire show b/c of his drinking problems. So the irony is...Lennon is the soberer of the two. Love you John.
He was into Into disco, who knew. Actually that was an interesting answer in that disco was really just starting in April 1975. The Hustle would not come out until that summer
This is hard to watch. Not because John is gone, not because he's giving a poor interview (which he's not), but because Tom Snyder is a fucking retard.
@Anything2DoWithFilm oasis was not 1988 my friend and they just jumped on the band wagon that was the stone roses - that was 1988... but the interviewer was breathtakingly prophetic about the stone roses, thats fer sure!
@Anything2DoWithFilm Yeah, but where The Beatles are the greatest group of all time and were ground-breaking, needless to say, in everything they did, Oasis sucked.
