Supposedly another famous newscaster said on that night Regan & Lennon were in the sports booth and instead of a huge spat, reagan had is arm around Lennon and was explaining the game to him. If that really was true, how surreal would that be, since otherwise they had been enemies. At least it was known Lennon hated Reagan.
I loved that song and admired Paul for writing and performing it. Later on, he used it for its rhetorical power in slamming Paul at the perigee of their friendship. The reference, a pun really, was "The only thing you done was Yesterday / But since you're gone you're just another day" which pointed to his No. 2 hit (No. 1 in the UK), "Another Day" released in 1970. John's cool. So is Paul. I miss the Beatles.
Lennon is still alive! The whole shooting was fake in order to fool everybody. He wanted to go into hiding like Elvis to get privacy. I saw Lennon last year at a Walmart.
@leafyutube well who knows but ur right some famous celebrities tend to do that i was hanging around with jerry garcia from greatful dead in lynwood park like 2 years ago met him by some girl n he faked his death he even gave me his number
Cosell was a cool guy and I remember back then people especially the press use to absolutely hate the guy which I could never understand, and I really think it was due to anti-semitism. Put it this way; someone like Muhammed Ali would have never had anything to do with the guy if he was an SOB, but he did. They loved each other. When Ali was striken with Parkinsons Cosell was absolutely devastated and I think that greatly contributed to his death. That`s how close they were.
It would have been nice to have had some sort of reunion. By the late 70's, there were no signs of it. Ringo said on tv in 78 that it would never happen again. Too bad he was right.
I think Yoko gave John some love and stability...but she also trapped him a bit...in his supposed "lost weeked" he actually seemed more laid back and less tense...not worried about being "political" anymore but just being more concered with making lovely music and sharing peace. R.I.P JOHN
This is very cool. He appeared to be enjoying himself and had just an all around great attitude. The last 30 years would have been so much better if he was still around.
That's John on his PR campaign to have his stay in the U.S. approved. You can tell he's not being himself much. He's choosing his words too carefully and being too politically correct in that football interview. If he was being himself, he wouldn't have been at that game and said football was actually quite boring to watch!
Yeah, he seems very relaxed here. He even looks more like Beatle John here with a fuller face and not all gaunt and sickly like he was towards the end.
I loved John in this period, he was letting go of the bad vibes the beatles split had left him with and was a Beatles fan himself, great! The greatest rock star there has ever been.
Imagine if Cosell got the scoop on live TV that there will be a Beatles reunion and it happened.Imagine if crazy jerk Chapman never killed John and he was still with us today along with George Harrison.
I remember when Walls And Bridges came out -wonderful under-rated record. I lived in Brooklyn and sometime after this interview my whole high school class knew that if you wanted to John all you had to do was hang outside the Dakota and sveral kids did and all came back with a mix of stories, some good where he was friendly and some where they took advantage and he had to run them off. He was so part of NYC- shuldda had a bodyguard- surpised he did not know hoe hugely popolar he was...
i'm sorry folks, but i've tried to work out how many nano seconds between when this vid happened and that geezer 'sean' being born but i appear to have no access to an atomic clock!
Does anybody else remember when a guy hacked into the broadcast signal of MNF somehow and started calling Howard Cosell names like "ugly jew" on live t.v.? What year was that? Would love to see that on Youtube.
How true John was in his words y music und videos et films. Yoko, Sir Paul McCartney,Ringo,I,Jeff Fisher promised Jennifer Lynn Masaryk Ellis,Phil would be free for he did not kill Lana.
All of you know that Phil Spector is all about love just like John.
Please come to Philadelphia ASAP so we can talk et cry y rejoice knowing that John is in heaven with my two departed friends, Lady Di e Peter Joyce
I love how he speaks so positively about The Beatles here, seemingly proud of having heard a song by the band before the football game and then later in that talk show of the fact that all the ex-members were having success in the charts. "Never say never." Oh, god, it aches to hear him say that...
I always enjoyed John's humor and wit. We can honor John by turning people on to his music...not only as a Beatle, but, after he was a Beatle. His songs cover ..."everybody."
Hey Leafylube I just beat James Dean at Darts, the old buzzard can't see past his nose.
