John Lennon Signs An Autograph In Central Park

In this video, John is very gracious and polite and signs an autograph for an excited fan. In weeks, he would be shot dead after performing a similar gesture by another fan outside of The Dakota.

"i wont consider my work to be done until I'm dead and buried, and I hope thats a long, long time" -Ten days before John Lennon is murdered.

@Julesnshane

John actually said that on the day of his murder about 5 hours before he was killed. This video was about 10-12 days before he was killed, but the audio (the voiceover) is from his last interview.

Ya know whats so odd is how John looks like he's a 50 year old man when hes barely 39 when this was filmed... aged 20 yrs in 10 yrs;;;; Very odd indeed..... Both those men. McCartney and Lennon... Both touched by something for sure.

At the time this was filmed, John was 40. John had about 10 days left at the time this was filmed.

Yoko didn’t break up the Beatles, that’s just the first conclusion the fans jumped to, lacking a better explanation. George broke up the Beatles, by quitting, because he couldn’t stand Paul and John, mostly Paul. He’d quit once and they begged him back. But the situation hadn’t changed, so he declared himself solo after the Let It Be sessions. He’d already made a solo album last time he quit. John and Paul were also at odds, so solo sounded good to them, too. Ringo was like “Aw, fuck!”
