    I would play my guitar for tips in Central Park in the late Seventies. I’d see John and Yoko sometimes strolling the park together but I’ll never forget how he put a $20 in my guitar case. I immediately started playing The Ballad of John and Yoko and Yoko smiled and John looked genuinely touched. That was a special moment in my life. RIP John.

    Good interview nothing really negative about the Beatles at all if anyting it's just very retrospective and cathartic. He gives Paul his due as well. I'm convinced that if he had lived a Beatles reunion would have been inevitable. I'm also sure that had he gotten older he would have looked at his time with the Beatles in an even better light than he was already starting to at this point. One of the most heartbreaking parts of this whole video is when he says "I've got another forty or fifty years to live or whatever."

    The thing about the 1980 interviews was that it was a reinvigorated John. He had time away from the public to do a lot of thinking and after everything he finally was happy. People tend to forget that his longest interview besides these ones, is the ones given in 1970 and 1971 at the height of the anger, frustration, and dissolution of the Beatles partnership. He was mad because in a way Paul screwed him and the others. If anyone who truly loves John knows that he really could hold a grudge for a long time, it’s in all the biographies, and all the interviews by people who loved him and were around him. Even May Pang has her story of how when he finally signed the paperwork in 1974, that he was incredibly sad. He needed a break and his 5 years out of the public’s eye was exactly that. It’s truly sad because he and Yoko had many many plans for the 1980s including a sort of Beatles reunion and a return to England

Paul has done a lot for the groups memory, but he also is not solely the Beatles and I’ve seen you hold Paul to such a standard in other Beatle groups and posts before. Each member plays apart of it, and the irony here is no matter how good any of them were solo, they’ll all die as Beatles, which is a quote from Ringo Starr himself

    Listening to this 1980 interview right after the listening to the notorious 1970 Rolling Stones interview is quite illuminating. In 1970, he was intelligent, sharp and raw as always, but he was resentful and mean-spirited. In this 1980 he´s no longer resentful and mean-spirited, but still very intelligent, raw but now also wise.

Thank you for sharing amazing, fleeting moments. So, tragic that John apparently fought hard to live in America. When everything was settled John was murdered after taking the time to sign John and Yoko's album. I never agreed with everything John said. But, John Lennon did not deserve to be murdered.

    I love how John Lennon was so honest and open in the interview study games during his lifetime but I think this is the best any game apart from the last interview on December 8, 1980. I think a John Lennon been alive he would’ve celebrated the Beatles legacy and music and there would’ve been a full Beatles reunion that would have been great as his time with the Beatles was healed and as he softened up to the Beatles legacy then he did back in his Rolling Stone interviews in 1971. we would have had a wonderful autobiography from John Lennon honey been alive as well.

    Re Elenor Rigby and who wrote the lyrics - John’s story sounds (to me ) very plausible . I’ve read all the interviews from Paul and John… And unlike what other people have said, John doesn’t discredit Paul, for Ellen and Rigby. Rather, he explains that he supported a lot of the additional verses. Paul song and that was his idea… His vision… And John sort of went with it… My experience with Paul is that he tends to rewrite history a bit… if you look at what just happened with yellow submarine were for years, he took full credit and now it turns out that John played a big part in it. I realize I sound like a bit of a John got here, but… I think John’s level of brutal truth on virtually every subject rings true here.

    Agree. I love Paul's music and slightly prefer his music - ONLY because he wrote a bit more of it. But Paul is full of shit on many songs- selective memory. One example and then this stranger (me) won't trouble you further in comments. Pau lsaid "If I Fell" was about 50-50% and composed at the time of the film, AHDN. The problem Mr. McCartney, is that a complete demo, John only, turned up, a year earlier, in 1963! The entire song, complete with the weird but beautiful guitar intro, attempted in several keys.

    There seems to be so much more here than was published in the book ( from what I can remember of it ). There's been a lot of negative stuff said and written over the years about how sincere they were at this time, in what they were saying. When you actually listen to these tapes it seems incomprehensible ( at least to me ) to imagine they're putting on some kind of an act. What is being expressed here is so real, natural and spontaneous, and gives the lie to all the snide and pernicious myths that have been propagated ever since, even by people who really should've known better. What motivates such spite ? Just some weird, resentful defect in human nature, I suppose. Who knows ? These tapes are so abundant in truth, warmth, wisdom and sanity. Give yourself a treat. And try not to feel too sad.

    Personal opinion and not meant to offend. Had John lived he and Yoko would have irritated me. Love John as a solo artist or Beatle but Yoko was no singer, or not to my taste. Double Fantasy went to number 1 when he was taken from us. If he was serious about touring he would have had to do it on his own. Yoko was an artist and has a good business brain. She looked after John's Beatles contract and royalties. This is only my opinion.

    George and John were much closer than they realized. George was singing “living in a world made of stone, such a long way from home” And john was wearing a tee shirt that had “Home” printed on the front. They were both looking for a place that felt like home, so far away that no money can buy. George criticized John’s primal therapy, but George was also about depth of feeling. “This guitar cant keep from crying.” One last song John recorded but never properly was “Help me Lord to help myself.” Sounds like Georges song “The LORD loves the one who loves the LORD” They were both getting closer to God before they died. And George a bit more probably. Before he died accepted traditional Christianity. He probably never realized that is where most of his religiosity rooted from regardless of his distain for institutionalized church. Both not far from the Kiungdom of God . I “guess it’s too late for you to understand the Kingdom of heaven is in your hands” sings John. I wish they were both still here. But they will be. For the whole creation is groaning and in pain until now, waiting for the revealing of the Sons of God!!! God has tole the end from the beginning and all of our tears are in his book. And he will wipe away all tears from all faces.

    John was extremely insecure and moody, you couldn't take him seriously, and he would have a opinion, that would be different the day after, he loved to troll the media, he was never 100% honest, he hid his issues well, except his skinnyness and insecurity.

    He was the most honest celebrity you´ve ever seen, hence the changing opinions at times. He didn´t try to project an image of a non-contradictory person, he was just himself in every moment. Which naturally means you contradict yourself at times, because we humans have a constant flow of changing thoughts, opinions, feelings. THAT is what´s real.

    I think he was usually honest about how he felt at the time, it's just that that was very changeable. He acknowledged himself that his emotions would rapidly swing from different highs and lows and he struggled to deal with this, but that doesn't mean he's not honest about how he felt at the time. I also highly disagree that he hid his issues well, he wore them on his sleeve. I remember one journalist remarking that unlike most of his interviewees, John would be the same off the record if they just went out to lunch or something - I think that's what appeals to many of us about his interviews, he brings this kind of closeness as having a casual chat.

    After all these years, the truth is so true, John was a musical genius but unfortunately his childhood life affected his adult life. Sadly his confused life lead him to the nut job of Yoko Ono, a manipulative controlling dragon who ultimately ruin Johns life and brainwashed him into a crazy world and even if John had not been shot, he’s demise would have been his ultimate failure. She ruined him and cashed up on his life. A crazy disgusting person Yoko Ono is…. Nothing will ever change that.

    Lennon detested George during the Beatle era, mainly due to George being much younger and John's perception of George being lyrically immature, while acknowledging his proficiency in guitar playing, he expressed his further disdain in the BBC Andy Peebles interview in 1980, complaining of George hanging around him too much. In other interviews he expresses antisemitic views towards Linda McCartney's Father and her brother. Lennon hardly liked anyone, even himself, he was a "Jealous Guy" particularly of Paul's solo career, his writing and musical talent. He got on better with Ringo as he was the same age and never posed a threat to John's fragile ego. An absent father (Julian) and an admitted adulterer, even with Yoko, he preached the talk, without ever completing the walk. He penned a few tunes but Paul was the more accomplished wordsmith and musician, with an inherited inate talent.

    @@jokerman8619 Lennon certainly had talent, yet unlike McCartney he lacked the confidence to regularly perform publicly, post Beatles. Paul was musically and lyrically the more accomplished and by far the more prolific over time. Without doubt, the pair were gifted and showed their determination to graft their way to early success. Upon the death of Brian Epstein, the dynamics of the Beatles changed forever, leaving a void that Lennon never overcame. Yoko, astutely managed John's personal business finances, but without the musical collaboration he craved, Lennon's US 🇺🇸 experience was much less productive than the other Beatles. George was perhaps the more rounded individual, producing movies and developing his interest in Formula One racing, while still recording successfully independently. Ringo became the unlikely conduit who couldn't quite understand the deep seated antagonism that materialised once the Beatles' company was dissolved by the Courts.

McCartney's body of work has survived the test of time. You don't have to admire his skill as a songwriter and musician, taste is always subjective! Without doubt one of the most prolific composers of his generation and the awards, tributes and longevity of his popularity leave nothing to prove to the industry. He continues to work in his 8th decade, simply because he loves what he does and most impartial observers accept that for what it is and not speculate on what others might or might not have achieved, had they lived.
