It's nice he was so inspired by Yoko (& supportive of her), but in all due respect, holy cow... there's just NO comparison when you finally hear Imagine: a whole different level... wow.
Yoko displays herself as trampish, and has such a lack of artistic talent that it makes me feel uncomfortable. But that's art's purpose, i suppose. To make you feel something. No matter what the emotion. Maybe not good art, in your opinion, but art nonetheless.
John raises a very strong point, if you're going to blame Yoko for breaking up the Beatles then you have to thank her for the amazing material put out through each solo career.
@MsOzarka1 What's wrong with what's she's wearing? First of all it was 1971 and second of all, why does it even matter? I see we haven't learned anything from any of John's messages about love. Here's a new verse from Imagine: Imagine no making fun of or bullying other people....
First, I'll point out that Lennon is rocking a 2nd Infantry Division patch on his left sleeve, The Indian Head Division, Second To None!! Next, This is a good interview because of the realness. The smoking, Jap jokes, completely non-P.C., and everybody being themselves. Currently, celeb interviews are simply press-junkets, plugging new album, movie, show. Here, it's a long, sometimes uncomfortable, chat. Finally, I don't care what everybody else says, I think Yoko is hot.
Granted that Lennon clearly wanted to shine a spotlight on Yoko Ono for this appearance, this is nevertheless a monumental waste of a golden opportunity to get a meaningful and in-depth interview with a fascinating subject. Only in the last few minutes as time was running out did Cavett, whom I actually admire a lot, start to ask some real questions of interest. And than it was over. What a shame.
Yoko sure has terrible fashion sense, they both smoked way too much, and they did have some pretty bad and weird ways about them than. Otherwise, John sure was a musical genius at times back than. Yoko and Cher were the queens of bad taste to be sure.
@lildude77504 I don't think you can say that they were weird, you can only say that they seem wird to you. I think they were pretty fine with themselves.
"We don't want to have the same old haircut everyday." God people focus on such stupid things as hair. To some people, John Lennon's legacy is defined by "The guy with the long hair." I'm sorry I don't want to have the same cut everyday, is it such a difficult concept?
@NoDestinyLive4Now i love dick cavette coz a that! hed talk to one main guest for the full hour! right, noone does that nemore...its either lack of interest by the interviewers(ees) or perhaps the public?....bettie rollins legs.
I think it is interesting what John says about not wanting to get up on stage at 50 and sing "She Loves You" or "Yesterday" (around the 23:30 mark). In this age of soooo many past their prime rockers doing the tenth retirement tours, it makes me glad The Beatles were what they were when they were, and that was it.
I even remember Dick Cavett from the early Seventies. He is the best talk show host ever, though Oprah deserves a mention, obviously, but that was later, and different.
Thanks for posting the complete show. Great to see it all the way through after it had been previously put up on Youtube in drips and drabs throughout the years. :)
