You see how Yoko keeps picking at her hands? Sure sign their both on smack. I'm a Beatles fan but John is a little dis-ingenuine when he says he doesn't care about money...where was he going to by their next bag of heroine?
@5inthehole I think you have to understand that John Lennon is maybe one of the first artist wanting to spend his money for his needs only. The drug scene and heroine, it all stopped around 1969-70 for him and he never needed desintox. He wasn't a fuckin addict like Janis Joplin or Axel Rose. Have you ever noticed he wanted a normal life back? Decent interviews with public, living in an appartment in NYC. Music artists usually want to live like divas.
@sinning1966 Briefly, he hated spending for stupid things, he only wanted certain objets he'd like or need. Don't think he would have live the same way as the fab four where they had the sports car and the chicks, and even that, this was rarely: they had to tour everyday until late 1966 where they just wanted to calm down.
@sinning1966 After he had his first child he started living "a normal" life. But a few years after this, Lennon would have his "Lost Weekend" (about a year) of drinking and drugging on the west coast. An Irony and tragedy of Lennon's life is that when he finally got it together and was with peace with himself, that asshole had to go and shoot him. Very sad.
BTW, John Lennon started heroin only after the "Let It Be" sessions (which ended on february 1969). His heroin phase all happened only in the year of 1969 where he never shaved for like 4 months. The Bed-In = Desintox. In 1968, Lennon was only doing pot, maybe hash, and LSD. This interview is 3 days after he got busted for pot. Also, he only sniffed heroin, he never injected anything, neither the other Beatles.
@sinning1966 ....lennon was a big smack head----keith richards never shot up heroin ever---------- and hes like the king of smaked out rock n roll..............
@wilberman Yeah it's interesting to see his free way of opinion about money. All he wanted was a popular rock band, be an artist and that's it. He hated that an artist had to sell out their image twice or play the rock star just like the Who, the Rolling stones or even Paul McCartney. Of course, everybody needs money, but the way to use it as a terminal point to shut off the big fake media is something John could do. I like this interview. If stoned people could be that good sometimes...
So this was the interview that John said that he got the song idea of "Woman Is The N*gger of the World" (check out 0:32-0:43 of the footage). Also take note that the footage stops after she said the statement.

You know, today's artists are financed by the government. Back then, they financed the government ;-).

@5inthehole It's possible to criticize a system you're currently using, you know. Doesn't make you a bad person.
