Title: Last Lennon Interview
Post by: An Apple Beatle on August 08, 2004, 12:15:19 PM
Hello fellow Beatlers, I was driving home from a gig the other night and on my local radio station, John Lennon started talking. He was chatting about being a father and Yoko, and it was fascinating. It was like he was sat in the passenger seat talking to me. Anyway it ended all too abruptly and I wondered if some of you other guys could fill me in as to where I may get that last interview from and what radio show in America it was on. I was sad and further amazed to discover that he was shot later that day. Making the whole interview so much more poignant. I felt glad  how he got to explain his fathering thoughts about Julian but that was about the only section I got to hear.
Can anyone help?

Most likely it was the RKO interview earlier in the day with Dave Sholin.  After he was shot they did a 3 hour radio special, which I'm sure has been re-edited and redone again and again over the years.

 I'm not really that familiar with the specific interview names, or whatever...I mean, I know the dates some of them were given, like he did do a few in 1980. I know that if you buy the remastered Milk and Honey there is an AWESOME interview on there that is pretty long and was given the very day he died.

 Does anyone here own the "Lennon Legend" book that came out by James Henke? OMG! FANTASTIC book. It also comes with a CD (among other things) with a bunch of onterviews on it and I know there are some from 1980 where he talks about Sean and/or Julian. Im not sure exactly what, but I know he mentions one or both of his kids.

 Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

 They probably have that whole interview on CD and sell it on ebay. I saw a bunch of interviews of John's on ebay before.

No.  That was 5 years earlier.

 Could it have been the Playboy interview?
