Wow. This sounds like he was trying to do some self-analysis. His deepest, inner dialogue without censoring himself. Fantastic. I wonder if he ever thought about the fact that someone else would hear it? Very sad to hear him talk about taking Sean to Scotland in 1981.
He could have tried having a relationship with his son Julian. Julian would have welcomed him back in life very easily. But John didnt want Julian and didnt spend anytime with him. Julian is the one who suffered and at 47 years old he is slowly getting better.
WTF? Is Yoko releasing this stuff into the public? WTF does she get for this..if this is indeed, lennon? Quite personal stuff.I am not sure if i admire and appreciate her or think she is exploiting him! Very tough stuff.
But quintessential Lennon. We miss him. Such a candid real man.

Yes, I go back and forth on my view of Yoko. Mainly these days I believe she has been very unfairly maligned and certainly they were a genuine couple in love and he was free to do as he wished.
Yes... he was human, and he was taken far too early for my tastes... i guess i'm being selfish, cause he needed release. It wasn't untill he knew May Pang that John had acheived happiness. Then that japaneese bitch took him back and kept him on drugs. May had retied his relationship with Julian, had got him eating again, and got him off drugs.
Keep rockin' pal. I wish you the best, dear friend.
I view John Lennon as my hero; If only I could accomplish half of what he's done. But for 2 seconds, lets stop looking at him for what he did, and lets start looking at how he was as a person. He was violent as a child, but thats not so bad. The thing that clipped his wings was his insecurity. His insecurity left him succeptable to drugs, Yoko Ono, early marriage, and exploitation. John was...human.
This is deeply personal stuff. There must have been a long journey for this recording to leave lennon (late night with the lights low I assume) to end up 28 years later on here. I would say the recording is 1980. As he refers to "1981" This would surely be before he went on hols to south Africa so I'd say Feb-April 1980. He talks of Cheshire..I am from a place near there! This is a real treat!
@beans909 Correc!t Plus, he state Bob Dlayn's New LP Serve Somebody which came out in August of 1979..People i guess don't listen but cool interview peace.
Yeah I soon saw what a twonk I was...I replayed the clip as soon as I finished writing that..I must have missed what he said on first hearing it. But I would have been not TOO far out with the date. (Trying to make myself feel less twonk-like...Cheers Dan
yeah your right you guys have all the time to bitch about this video and bitch about how john was so unhealthy yeah ya wanted know whats unhealthy? staying up and watching and complaining about these videos...now whose that? go look in the mirror...thank you good day
i have loads of pics not seen taken days before he died as well as others from the house hubby period..it is really sad for me to look at...he looks years older then his age...he looks miserable...it pains me to look at them...and if u look at paul in 1979-1980 he looks great, relaxed , happy..so john could say how great his life was with yoko but.....he looked horrible..he was painfully thin, his skin and hair are very unhealthy as are his eyes...never should have folded the beatles..
THIS GUY SCREWED UP HIS LIFE...his last years in that creepy apartment in horrible manhattan...turned his back on is friends..his son julian...this tape is a guy with to much free time on his hands...making fun of dylan..at least he was active...the hole house husband
I hesitate being that harsh with John, as with anyone else, because he certainly needed some growing up time. He spent so much time being a Beatle and his work for peace. He didnt have time to reflect on ALL his mistakes. Ya know?
Oh how easy it is to judge. When you accomplish half of what Lennon did then come back. Then you will be able to compare war scars with the man. Oh that's right, you can't; he got killed!
just cause someone accomplishes something does not give them a free pass to knock everyone.he was an awful father to julian. see the youtube clip with julian shot recently while he's vacationing..says his dad sucked..also lennon said terrible stuff about paul mccartney all the time. i have rare photos taken of lennon at the hit factory 2 days befor he was killed..he looks 20 years older then his age...emaciated, anorexic with dark blue circles under his eyes..pale, gaunt, its scarey...
What's the exact source of this tape? There's no info, though it sure sounds like John. Why all the roaring background noise?

She probably did much to help him ground himself.

it was a diary. he knew one day it would be heard by us, only after he was dead though, when he wouldn't be bothered.

Just read comments below. How would you rather have it? Thin gaunt Lennon or fat-shit Chapman?
Just enjoy what we have left!
