Lennon Remembers - Rolling Stone Interview
by tENTATIVELY, a cONVENIENCE - February 6, 2008
After decades of not much caring about The Beatles & John Lennon & whatnot, I recently made a movie called "Backwards Masking In Rocks" that references The Beatles & Lennon & Ono, etc.. & I discovered that I really DO like The Beatles. In my movie, Lennon et al are The Crystals & backwards masking allegations are made against ROCKS in general (rather than rock music). Now, opening this bk again for the 1st time in a long time, I open to a section that addresses the reputed hidden messages in Beatles' material:
"Why do you think people start rumors, like that whole death thing would happen...
People have got nothing better to do than show more study bibles and make myths about it, and study rocks and make stories about how people used to live and all that. You know, it's just something to do for them, they live vicariously." show less

One of the great interviews with any composer/performer. This is where the ''genius' and 'Japanese fisherman' quotes come from... spends a great deal of time on the breakup/business dealing of the Beatles. A must for any Beatles fan.
