In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it.
The interview is interesting, and the animation complements it perfectly. (via yewknee)
This is really interesting and fun to watch. I feel like now I’ve heard just what Lennon stood for in his own words, and not through the bias of any biography or secondary source. All the same, I still can’t help feeling that even he doesn’t know what he’s talking about, the years of drug use having something to do with the “profound whatever” he seems to be alluding to.
