John Lennon: Man of the Decade

This is an interview that was filmed on December 2nd, 1969, at John's then home, Tittenhurst Park, in Ascot for a piece by ATV regarding the Man of the Decade. John was one of just three celebrities who were in the running for the title Man of the Decade. John was eventually selected as the Man of the Decade (1960s). The footage was aired on December 30th, 1969. This clip is one of my favorites because John is making a ton of sense and he shows off the famous Lennon temper. Happy birthday, John.

One has to wonder if the world would be in better condition today if John had been around to continue sharing his message of peace, love and spirituality.

"This is only the beginning...The sixties was just wakin' up in the morning," John Lennon said as the decade was concluding.

To this day, we continue with modernization, globalization, cultural expansion and understanding, and big geopolitical debates. New York Times op-ed columnist Thomas Friedman puts it best in describing the current state of life in the world: "The Earth Is Flat."

@FrogTheFrogFrog My pleasure Frog.Des hosted the Lennon segment of 'Man Of The Decade' as he'd nominated John as his Man Of The Decade.I'm not sure if they knew each other socially though.
