Those "bed-ins" that John and Yoko did were so stupid. What did they accomplish, besides attracting attention to themselves, by doing that? Nothing! Al Capp was a dick, but John and Yoko were equally unbearable.
I don't know who's side I'm on. During the beginning Capp made some good points, and Lennon and Ono looked a bit thick. As it went on Capp began to appear rude, and I was totally on Lennon's side.
All what John and Yoko want was appear. Naked for the peace, smoking Marijuana, using drugs, heroine, cocaine and all the thing. Come on ! That was marketing...For that reason they invited Capp with the intention of humiliating him. The result was unlike Capp has been victorious in the discussion.
@BetoLee100 As for appear, they had it. They were pretty famous, and as John said, he'd make tons of more money writing an album than doing this stuff, being a highly popular artist.
And besides, I don't see how ''you can't represent me'' is a winning argument. Please enlighten me.
The moment Capp walks in he starts poking criticism at the both of them-- and there he is saying that he's their "guest". This has to be one of the rudest things I've seen. All he does is come to pick a fight.
Al Capp isn't the cartoonist that drew "Andy Capp" which the hot fries were based off of lol. He drew Lil Abner. Reg Smyth did the Andy capp strips....
So I guess this dude won't even be remembered for the fries
It just shows how hard it can be,,like john and yoko trying to show the world a better way,,other than creating so much violence and you get someone here so rude ,,totally on john and yokos side.
The era of egotistical self centered ego centrism that John Lennon was the master of. He also mastered face offs with the media. What a hipocrite and socialist he turned out to be. Another icon who pulled the masses off the cliff of progressivism. Is it any wonder why we are so fucked up today? Weak minds sucked up the dregs from the pot and thought it was good because we were stoned out of our gourds. I certainly hope you are taking another look at this now and saying "WTF were we thinking?"
khattamshud --you should stop watching videos of shit you don't respect no one needs your hatorade so fuck off. John Lennon was a respectable man who did more than you ever will fucking no body
@khattamshud Oh, and also, anyone who believes and promotes peace and love is a beautiful person to me. Hate hatred, not people-- the only thing hate produces is anger and misery.... and to hate someone that actually believes in good things and wants good things-- a person that wants the best for other people and the world in general... I see great flaw in hating that person.
I have seen this encounter many times and realised that it was deliberately engineered so that a conflict would happen, probably appealed to Capp and Lennon's subversive sense of humour and so much more interesting to watch than people just agreeing with the Lenonos about how worthy they are. This was a really good PR stunt, got you all talking about it 40 years later.
hahaha, what a waste of energy and a waste of a human life is that man, i hope he is allready dead, he should never been born, old fucker, if i was there, i kick his ass so hard he would die on the same day
Gee I wonder who will be remembered longer and more fondly, John Lennon or this rude smart arse. If anybody, even an invited guest spoke to about my wife like that, I'm not sure who would hit him first, her or me!!! John showed a lot of class here.
I is forgotten here is that Lennon invited him to the room. Obviously Lennon admired the man and did not expect to be challenged by him. Fascinating exchange, really good.
Al Capp (died aged 70) and George Harrison (died aged 58) died from being smokers, don't smoke
Al Capp is a cartoonist and humorist, he isn't a reporter he is a character, he isn't expected to be kind or open minded he is a human being who went to see John and that is all
J & Y knew full well they were opening themselves up for ridicule by the conservative media and right-winged celebrities like Capp. To say Capp "wins" is to agree with his assertion that the Lennons were doing this for money (absurd), and that John was ridiculous in aligning himself with Christ's persecution (alas Lennon was too right on the mark about that). Capp was a clever, talented man but also a pig. Hi remarks to and about Yoko were particularly odious.
Look at 2:05, how Lennon's tongue goes back and forth. He knows hes dealing with a very clever person and not just another naive Reporter looking to bash him.
Al Capp had every right to question Lennon's motives during this bed in. What really bugs me about Lennon during this era is, if Lennon wanted to get involved in politics and change the world, why did he not run for office? Then his opinion may have counted for something. Al Capp rules! I'am now going to buy a Lil'Abner paperback.....
@Icymarky0123 The Reason Capp won was because of his humor. He was taking Lennon at his own game and got the upper hand. I like John. Great, Songwriter. But this was just a bad Period, period. People want to act like hes some God free of Mistakes. He was a Guy. Talented of course....but a Guy
omg I cant believe some ppl thought the interviewer won his battle he started..John is a nice easygoing guy.that guy needs to cut his eyebrows..long eyebrows are a sign of lonliness tisk tisk..
he shoulda learned about bagism from John- a way of not discriminating- a way of listening. John was always good at not caring about what others said and standing up for himself- I love how he says 'they'll crucify you"
@murdochmikey he's not racist. He was a hard core anchor who was really testing John and seeing what he would do if he pissed him off. Like, if John was REALLY for peace. He was trying to get John to throw a punch at him or something. And, who likes Yoko anyway?
@murdochmikey He's comparing her to Madam Nhu, rapacious former first lady of South Vietnam. I think it's a dig on Yoko's ambition in hitching her wagon to a powerful man.
@murdochmikey 1. Those Hot Fries Are the SHIT. Dont diss Andy Capp's hot fries. Not cool 2. What exactly was Racist here? I didnt see any racism. 3. This is a rare video where at least half of the viewers think John lost. How often does that happen? 4. By John's face you could see he took him seriously. He knew how witty Mr. Capp was.
