I can't remember now if they played those interviews prior to is death or after ?
What was nice was i could hear John's voice from those interviews in my head , kind of like i had opend up a memory .
And no i had'nt had a joint .
It was just a lovely bit of time i spent thinking about him .
I do miss him , it would be so nice to hear is voice again and what his thoughts are on the world today .
I suspect most of you miss him  and George too , sometimes it 's not easy been a fan. I did'n t feel too sad while i was thinking of him , so lets not make this thread to sad .
Just say what you think .

He was one of a kind , i love the bit in  "A Hard Days Night " when he's chatting to that actress in the corridor , i always liked the cheeky looks he gave her .
And his voice was so beautiful , that echoing  sound on # 9 Dream is just magic ]]> Mon, 21 Jul 2008 00:25:03 DaveRam http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/m-1215735122/ http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/m-1215735122/#num1

But it highlighted a piece of Lennon history i had not heard of John's relationship with  "Michael X " who was a leading figure in the  "British Black Power Movement " .
Doe's anyone know more about John's links to this movement and Michael X ?
Michael X , as quite a big part in this film , he was a pretty unsavory character , who was basically a gangster who hid behind his political persona .
He was executed in (1975) , for the murder of a British MI5 agent who also as a role  in this film .
Lennon looks to have been mixing with some dodgy people in England before he left for America , no wonder he had trouble getting his Creen Card .
I'm sure the FBI would have been aware of his links to Michael X ?

''The John Lennon Wall in Prague''



I was in Prague last summer and I searched my a** off to find this wall. When we asked some local people where the wall was, they couldn't give the answer. After a long search we finally found it and I must say it was rather dissapointing. It was just a wall full off crappy graffity, with people smoking weed in front of it. It was nice to see a tribute like this, but it wasn't that special.

What do you people think?]]> Tue, 8 Jul 2008 13:05:29 Dante http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/m-1215402343/ http://www.dmbeatles.com/forums/m-1215402343/#num1


I MET THE WALRUS
"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. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon's every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon's boundless wit, and timeless message.
