This reporter gig was staged. To make a point. I saw this exact exchange somewhere else betw. John and a reporter. Same idea - same stuff.

@fauxfat

I can't imagine why it would be staged considering that it was a pretty severe hit to Gloria Emerson's reputation.

The argument that John and Yoko had with the woman that wouldn't stop blinking was hilarious. "We can't all afford to be neurotic."

The thing I love is when John owns the hell out of her and she goes, "*blinks eyes* *stutters* The.. the mo.. mora..the moratorium?"

[Yellyist]

I think Paul McCartney belongs on that list too!! He was just as great and important as John!

ps. Yoko, you wasted valuable time for Lennon to talk.

[DiCkRiChArDz]

Reminds me of the vid of bob dylan putting that one reporter in his place. Man, people were harsh back then on rock stars.

the guy with the wigi board was right

@NeilFraudstrong Noone considered Lennon more dangerous than Rubin, Seale, Davis and Hoffman. You're talking rubbish. Those people I mentioned were Stalinists. They were the most dangerous domestic threat to America since the Confederate army .They applauded Castro's concentration camps, they sided with Ho Chi Minh (who killed anyone who could read) they loved Mao who starved 60 million Chinese in order to collectivize farming. And you wonder why our government were afraid of people like them?

@MultiSpread Honestly tho he wasnt always a prick LOLOL

[WilburyVision]

That sounded like Esther Rantzen at the end, who wanted to get in the car with John!

[Albert18264]
