John Lennon Speaks 1969

A different post for me - wanted to share this interview with John & Yoko out of 1969 - the final moments particularly powerful.

The Beatles Tapes from the David Wigg Interviews is an audio album of interviews with each of the four members of The Beatles: John Lennon (with his second wife, Yoko Ono), Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr. British journalist David Wigg interviewed the individual Beatles at various points from December 1968 or January 1969 to December 1973, and excerpts from some of these recordings constitute the album's spoken words. Although he was a columnist ("Young London") for the London newspaper The Evening News,[1] the interviews were intended for broadcast on BBC Radio 1's Scene and Heard. Interspersed among the interview excerpts are instrumental performances of Beatles songs, played by other musicians. The Beatles tried to prevent the album's publication, but it was released in the United Kingdom on 30 July 1976 under the Polydor label (catalogue number 2683 068) and in the United States in 1978.

Whoa, @ the end. 9:13 - Laurel and Hardy, that's John and Yoko. All the serious people got shot.

He was always full of irony with his comments. He's had a few referrals like this before. It's jaw dropping.

"I take life seriously. The serious job of being happy." I love that bit. I think John hit the nail on the head with that one. :)
