John Lennon interview from 9/24/1980 Part 2

First of all, thank you to apolonio0907 who notified me about the existence of this interview. Secondly, thank you Roxio SpinDoctor for having a feature which allows one to record directly from the sound card. I can never repay that.

This is part two of an interview that John Lennon gave to Lisa Robinson on September 24th, 1980, which makes it one of his last interviews ever. John gives this interview from the recording console while mixing Double Fantasy which would be released in two weeks from the date this interview was held.

One reason he changed his phone number constantly is because in around 1977 or 1978 he had recurring kidnapping/death threats against Sean from an anonymous caller. The calls eventually stopped, but John remained very nervous about the whole ordeal up until the day he died.

I'd never heard this before. Fascinating and tragic at the same time.

It says on my profile that the name is just a joke and that I am actually a huge fan of NASA and the space program.

John no doubt had dormant phsyic abilities I think. You can tell if you read enough or listen enough to his interviews. He always knew or felt things were happening or going to happen to him. he knew he was going to die and he said it and acted that way

[FaithIsAnnoyed]

I could listen to John talk all day.....what a fascinating human being he was. He is someone we can all relate to in one way or another.

its hard to listen to him talk about dying
