edna Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 I found this site with John Lennons interviews from 1968 till 1980. I thought you might like it. Here.
Uncle Joe Posted August 10, 2005 Report Posted August 10, 2005 Thanks edna...reminds me. I think I'll go back and *read that Playboy Interview again. It was prophetic. *Then I can look at the pretty pictures, too.
katie_sane Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks for that site Edna, I enjoyed reading the interviews. He is one of the few that a totally admire for not just his music but his contribution to humanity.
_Laurie_ Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks Edna...I love reading about Lennon and the Beatles...there is so much history to these guys, you can never get enough!...Ive put this site in another thread, but i'll post it here also, incase no one saw it...this is a good site also on Lennon's quotes, all broken down to certain topics.... check it out: lennon in his own words
edna Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 That site about quotes is very good. I read it first time when you posted but just the first ones... thanks for reminding me!
RonJonSurfer Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Thanks edna...reminds me. I think I'll go back and *read that Playboy Interview again. It was prophetic. *Then I can look at the pretty pictures, too. On the night John Lennon was killed, hours before it happened, I went in to a 7-11 and bought the issue of Playboy with the Lennon interview. For once I can honestly say I bought Playboy for the articles. I brought it home, turned on Monday Night Football, leafed through Playboy for a couple of minutes...then but it aside knowing I was going to enjoy reading the interview the next day. I fell asleep watching the game and didn't know until the next morning that the world as I saw it changed. I couldn't bring myself to read the interview then...and to this date, I haven't been able to go back and read it. People may think that is overly dramatic, but that's how I feel. John's violent death hit hard and something inside me is connecting that interview and his death. Maybe someday, but right now I still can't do it.
edna Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 Curious... and such a sad coincidence... I used to read some of the Playboy´s interviews, which were quite good. I remember I had that copy but I guess it was after the shooting... it is really a sad interview. Just as the words of the last record. But the other interviews are interesting. I remember them from so long ago now... wow, how time flies...
_Laurie_ Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 If any of you collect Beatle stuff, the TV Guide is having four issues come out...I recieved the first one today...with John on the cover.....It's a special tribute for the time they appeared at Shea Stadium in 65....incase anyone is interested, i thought i would pass this on...
Steel2Velvet Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 He defined a generation as well as any other human being defined any other generation. Thanks for posting those links. I saw a little mini-documentary on George last night. To say the least, The Beatles were a group of destiny.
cockrocker788 Posted August 14, 2005 Report Posted August 14, 2005 He brought the ideals of communism to the mainstream via his music, like Imagine. From Lenin to Lennon, true dreamers will always live on.

From Lenin to Lennon, true dreamers will always live on. Communism? Ideals? Hell, I'm an atheist and when I heard Imagine I thought what Lennon brought to the fore were Jesus' words from his Sermon On The Mount. Of course Hoover's FBI thought differently. Blockheads!
