As he was unknowingly living his final hours of life.

Cher had a song about that

I do think about that what if. Lennon was to massive to live. His mystic is part of his legend. No-one in music has ever done what the beatles and Lennon are and were.

I think the same thing. Also for many others, including my family. I think about it all the time. Not to worry because when Christ comes again (Judgement Time) he would raise the dead back to life.♥.

Save him from Yoko?

@@d.collins3819 Well he's not going want a practising Luciferian like John Lennon anywhere near his Kingdom is he, and quite right too. Lennon can burn in Hell.

He was ready to dominate the whole 80’s decade if John Lennon hadn’t died I feel he would’ve been impressed by the culture of the 80s like the birth of MTV and the songs that use synthesizers and gated reverb like “In The Air Tonight” and “Running Up That Hill”

@@leonardsalinas2002 Live Aid 85' would have been The Beatles long-awaited reunion, so sad it didn't happen :(

@Let's Go Brandon the reason he was chilled out? Or the reason he was murdered?

@Bob Insane man with a gun?

Yes, he died for literally the stupidest reason ever. The jerk who shot him did it just because he wanted to become famous, he didn't even dislike John or had anything against him as a person. What a fucking shame, imagine being shot to death when you have your whole life ahead of you just because someone wants to make the headlines

John was so forward thinking. I always feel he’s still here it’s as if he never went away

@@tomiviitanen9099 Correct- sickening isn't it?

That is so eerie. How can this be real life? All of the things that happened to him, good and bad, almost seem orchestrated. So sad.

He was really stupid not to have bodyguards. He was talking to lunatics and surely knew that one of them was going to get him

Amen brother Sorry to hear about your dad. I lost mine in ‘95. Life is precious, learn and experience as much as you can while you’re here and take that to the next life where you will continue to evolve. Sorry to sound too New Age’y

@@danielbrown1724 you are very kind, thank you my friend and take care

For a son to lose a father is very painful. Since you kist youts so close to John's death, your heart must havegone out to Sean and Julian more than the rest of us.

I lost my dad in 2016 after a short battle with brain cancer. I was 12 at the time and it really does take a long time to recover from losing a parent

@@jamesdean9183 So sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad mine years ago and my Mom 4 years ago. Life is precious.

I agree! It is so fun to listen to these interviews and so interesting to see how controversial he was, and for Peace. I heard the interview by Shaun Lennon with Elton John a couple of years ago on JL's 80th year, and it was moving. Elton John said he was sure that if he hadn't of been killed, he may have won the Nobel Peace Prize and it was something I never thought of but it sure makes a lot of sense. I don't ever really like to hear anything about his murderer, and I am a True Crime buff, but that one just makes me sick, such a bid for attention, and stealing of Lennon's brightness. I also appreciate ALL the music and The Beatles and what they each evolved to. I also watched Get Back, (got me the expensive Disney subscription just for it!) and was so moved at the part where John asks the others if they heard Martin Luther King Jr's speech and he said something like "it was sheer poetry" and he speaks of how beautiful it was and says something like MLK "could be president".

Quantum leap, change his plans for that night and employ security. We miss you John xx

It's kinda like Memorial Day! There was no one more conservative than John and George.

@@jaimesirgany4776 "conservative"? there are many words to describe john lennon but i wouldn't say "conservative" was one of them

I disagree. He had a terrible reputation in Liverpool. He was badly behaved; with Julian and Cynthia. Used to beat the latter. Americans are seemingly; out of touch with this aspect. Yoko controls him here; as she always did. He had a weak personality. He's very uninteresting in this interview

I hear ya

Oh man

My god, that is devastating…

Hi from Liverpool. Been in the place it all started the last few weeks ( The Casbah). Its getting made into a hotel, but the club where John & Paul painted the ceiling black with stars is still there, as is lots of memorabilia. Fascinating. The owner ( Pete Bests cousin) has some great stories about the lads. His dad was called Aspinall & was the Beatles roadie in the beginning & travelled with them all over the world. Anyway just to let you know that John is still missed here & his memory lives on. God bless. 👍

@@terryhorne2582 Hi Terry, cool story. Hope to see England some day.

This interview ended around 5pm, in almost 6 hours John was dead

Man, that's depressing.

So true, we can only hope there is a tomorrow.

Well yes, but I don't think we should take ourselves too seriously, otherwise this thought can totally be depressing and haunting Just live every second, enjoy the moment, realize we are bigger than our bodies and personal history

@@ericleon6482 tomorrow never knows

Calling him an animal is an insult to animals

Animals only kill for food,

I would have given you a like but you wrote the murderers name. You did exactly what the murderer wanted- notoriety and fame over 40 years later. SMH

@@kazabushy I hate the murderer but have never brought into the idea that he “wanted fame”. If this was true, then why not plead “not guilty” and have the spotlight in what would have been the trial of the century?

Wow that's crazy

Very shocking.

He was clueless. Biggest rock star in the world and had no security

LOL

You’re lucky mate 🤟🎸 Fantastic interview isn’t it!?? He’s so relaxed and clearly engaged in every question. He had no idea what he was walking into that day.

@@danielbrown1724 Yes. So tragic and devastating.

I was just thinking about the same... I'm listening to this 41 years later and seems he is talking about nowadays.

That was pretty common stuff lol. And was NOTHING new.

He talked about it because he was obsessed with his own weight and had an eating disorder :/ If he really cared about health he wouldn't be chain smoking cigs

@@FcknAwsm He died that day. Cut him some slack, dude.

@@FcknAwsm Nobody is perfect. We all have vices.

Totally agree with you, beetles 1 of the best bands ever

I think yoko is not to blame on beatles breakups

Ah "under circulated." The new zoomer tic after "underrated."

@@DJKinney 🤭🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣🤣I thought the exact thing!! I'm sure this coined word will be overused soon enough!

Under circulated? You are 12? Did you just find out about this interview? It was mainstream media 4 decades ago!

It's so interesting to hear John Lennon talk about his life family life career Sean and Yoko and Yoko's comments. It's such a tradgety what happened later very sad. A real nice interview with them.

He sounds very happy and positive,he lost his life a few hrs after,very sad

When he signed chapman's album double fantasy,he asked him was that all he wanted(this meant,I hope you are not here for somethink else,suspicious, when he see him again for a few seconds that night,John's thoughts came back,he must ov thought that bloke is here again, Paul gorash mentioned this in his interview, Johns instinct to think like that, John was correct and feeling vunerable, sad day that was

@@roberttalbot6397 Don't know why he didn't just get back in the limo and drive thru the gate instead- nothing normal about someone getting an autograph and then stil being there SIX hours later!l

@@damianbroderick3913 yeh,but John was very insure as a person, when he signed he said do you want anything else, he meant hope you are not up to somethink, so when he seen him again that night, he thought same thoughts about him. John liked to be open with people so that's why he walked in. It should've been limo. There and back.

Still miss this creative& honest man!❤️

Don't worry. That monster who murdered John will get his comeuppance if he hasn't had it already. I do believe in Karma.

@@d.collins3819 I really hope so. I’d love to have 5 mins in a room alone with him

@@wezlo8733 Ok, savage.

It’s funny how John Lennon and Kurt Cobain (who remind me of each other a good bit, Kurt idolized John) both married totally shitty people lol.

Well actually you know means "ano" in Japanese. It's a filler word.

It just means eh! Or the Japanese for "ne". It bothers you that much?

Everything changed since then

Melodramatic nonsense.

Definitely one of the biggest deaths of the century in terms of impact within popular culture, and yeah John himself was pretty much mythologized to an unrealistic degree as a consequence. But I wouldn't go so far as to say that it changed the course of human history or something.

@@KingdomCooperFan Agreed. Plus young people mostly under 18; don't know who he was and who he played in. There are exceptions of course. Here's s'thing about his myth...... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mcl1m9CClbOYdo0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZlxiZCctc6-Yn0.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fNCffMR73MW0j4U.html&feature=share Here's a piece about corruption in the music industry. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hKh0oreazeDYnKc.html&feature=share

Slight exaggeration there mate! 🤣. There are people on this planet who has never heard of John Lennon, and people who just don't care he got killed.

I don't think happier, but more excited than the usual.

they usually go together

After this interview , he went downstairs to the street , where his car was suppose to be waiting for him , but it wasn’t there . He stood on the sidewalk when chapman approached him and asked him to sign his album . John signed it and asked chapman “ is that all you need “ , and chapman nodded his head yes . John and Yoko hitched a ride to the studio with these two interviewers , 5 hours later , they returned to the Dakota where chapman murdered Lennon . Haunting listening to this .

Turn off your tv/media….set yourself free from the constant lies and propaganda….commie leftist satanic horse shit

With in a month ??? Within a day

Wow really? Didn’t know that

I also think the same Valeria. Several groups regrouped for this event, such as Queen and Led Zeppelin. So the possibility that the Beatles had performed at Live Aid, in 1985, made perfect sense.

@@Gour80 Queen didn't really split up, just Freddie doing one 'bad' solo album. The Who and Led Zep were without their legendary drummers of course.

@@Gour80 What? Queen had just finished The Works Tour which went for about 10 months. But according to you they had broken up.🤣

@@kazabushy He thought the "Bohemian Rhapsody" movie was fact lol

@@johnp515 Yes I know. It's so sad to me that fictional historically inaccurate biopics are even allowed to be made. It sickens me that Brian and Roger gave the go ahead to producers for this rubbish making Freddie look like a lazy, uncaring toad with a laughable American accent. The Queen concerts reinvented were not even remotely factually correct. Nothing was factually correct. That doesn't matter it seems.

Don't worry. That monster who murdered John is probably being haunted by what he did. We are only human after all.

And he taught us to never neglect ur child like he did with Julian.

He was too stupid to realize you can't be famous and live in society. Famous people are all targets for murderers

John was stupid, in several of his beliefs. 'Open borders' being one of them.

It was the day after

@@jaycuthbert245 No it wasn't, it was 10.50pm that evening. This interview was in the afternoon right before he left for the studio.

@@damianbroderick3913 prove it. You're wrong. He didn't do any media that day. Was at his hotel all day til he went to the studio to record. Check your history mate

@@jaycuthbert245 You check YOUR history. It's not hard. They did a photo shoot for Rolling Stone in the morning, then they went to THIS interview with Dave Sholin and Laurie Kaye then they completed Yokos Walking on Thin Ice then travelled home. If you have ½ a brain you can see that his last photo was in these clothes signing an autograph for the murderer.

@@jaycuthbert245 John Lennon’s last interview, taken on December 8, 1980 just few hours before his murder. John and Yoko were interviewed by Dave Sholin and Laurie Kaye. Ron Hummel and Bert Keane were also part of that team. John had just finished a photo session with Annie Leibovitz for Rolling Stone magazine.

Thats what i was thinking today!

This is true. Look at George & Paul 🎶.Say.Say.Say 🎶 🎶I got my mind set on You!! 🎶 Great comment!! Thank you!! ✌ and Love. (WES)

He was scheduled to work on a session in January for Ringo’s Stop and Smell the Roses album. They were in the middle of the Milk and Honey sessions, getting ready to put the finishing touches, and possibly start recording the next album after that. They even had a world tour planned for 1981! Everybody says The Beatles would’ve reunited at Live Aid in 1985. So sad….

@@WinkDaMan07 Y's Walking on Thin Ice was being done that day. There were demos for M and Honey at that point

He did make the 80s amazing.

From around 1:02:30 it sounds to me like he's holding in a burp or something like that, and that's why he sounds weak. Still, what he says is powerful, i don't mean to be disrespectful.

Mighty boog

Its amazing how in 5 seconds of interview you cna throw away every nonses people have said about yoko, fuck them and love yoko

I think the same.

John met him after this interview.

@@joedebaun4547 before this and then again after

It was YOKO who said Julian wasn't planned! John didnt say that! He knew he was a dead beat dad to Julian and was trying reconcile the relationship with Julian. Sean wasn't planned either! Yoko spun it that way! She made John to be the bad guy all these years later and suckered people like you to believe the BS she vomited out of her lying bat shit crazy mouth! Do you research about Yoko. She is evil to the 10th power!

@@OCTOBERBABY7901 Very sad you are so misguided or unresearched to have such hatred. Here is John saying the fact in 1980. He has also said it a couple of times on BBC radio readily available on KZfaq. “Ninety percent of the people on this planet, especially in the West, were born out of a bottle of whiskey on a Saturday night, and there was no intent to have children. “So ninety percent of us - that includes everybody - were accidents. I don't know anybody who was a planned child. All of us were Saturday-night specials. “ Julian is in the majority, along with me and everybody else. Sean is a planned child, and therein lies the difference. “I don't love Julian any less as a child. He's still my son, whether he came from a whiskey bottle or because they didn't have pills in those days. “He's here, he belongs to me, and he always will.” So where is your Yoko source you nastily claim?? He disputes both your claims. Julian WAS an accident and Sean WAS planned. Sorry to burst your bubble. In fact Yoko suffered many painful miscarriages before Sean was born. They planned a family.

@Walrus Nostrils Boston Explorer, Walrus Nostrils or OCTOBERBABY7901, it's amusing you are trolling and switching accounts. Blatently caught out catfish. Screenshots are easy of the exact same comments copied. Why pretend and change your usernames? They're all in my notifications. Nobody is that naive surely? It would be interesting to have an intelligent converse, but you simply switch accounts and reply with offensive ad hominems. Btw, I was contemplating which of the 3 (God knows how many more names/alias accounts are registered to the real you...) sound more intelligent. Difficult. Mine's not difficult to link that it is a tribute to a chorus in a John Lennon song I love. Sorry but the names you choose sound childish. Sad your responses have proved my prediction to be true.

@@ahbowakawapoussepousse2712 and your name is not stupid?! I don't know about Boston and Walrus, but I have never had more than this one account. You are truly one the most ignorant idiots I've ever encountered on YT. You need to STFU! Like I said EVERYBODY HAS AN OPINION, WHETHER YOU LIKE TO HEAR OT NOT!

@@OCTOBERBABY7901 Darling, tell John Lennon his beautiful song is stupid. You write extremely defensively. Wow that's alot of malice you choose to explode on people for simply writing a comment on KZfaq. Anger issues much?

The things is he’s not another average guy, his life was not ordinary life like everybody else and he was having mental breakdown and nerve wrecking since 1964. The pressure when everybody want every piece of him must be hard. His relationship with Cynthia was really2 low key, he have to hide her because he was The Beatles and she dont fight her right when Yoko stalking him for 2 years. She let John slipped more into drugs and more into Paul. She not fighting for him. John was in fragile mental state, when someone like Yoko who obsessive/possessive about him, he must be thinking that she really want him. But the problem is Yoko also have mental breakdown as well. They are not normal couple emotionally and mentally. Listen what they were saying their relationship really have big problems. All the loving2 couple was all BS. Double fantasy? What fantasy he have? Lived with Paul? Its sad actually he was so confused. Poor Yoko as well she have to listen His thought about Beatles all the time.

@@yuriitai4552 you make some very good points. I suppose I was thinking of the idealized John that was a charismatic genius and not of the real soul who was imperfect and tormented. Cynthia must have known that Yoko was stalking him and yet did not put up a fight for him. I think John’s true love was Paul.

@@flavor_kitchen I think so, but Paul now married and have kids like normal marriage, love his wife. While he being so pathetic and gay thinking of him all the time. No wonder all the bitterness about Beatles because of this thought. Try to be macho to safe face. John was really beautiful and tormented soul.

He clarified his meaning quite well a little further along. He considered that he was 'a kid' when he first married. His marriage, his life. He was there so I'd trust him to know why it didn't work, and accept his his explanation without needing to vilify anyone.

@@gregbradshaw8441 not trying to vilify. I love JL and I get where he is coming from. Just wish he would have shown his first wife and the mother of his oldest son some respect.

A spirit like John does not die. We will meet again.

@@laylacooper1058 she made albums too, she also did all the beatles business for years

That's true, but I'd say Juilan turned out alright, all things considered. He's definately living a better life than if John Lennon wasn't his father, whether he was present or not. It's tragic John died before having a chance to reconnect with Julian. John clearly wasn't a role model figure in the years when Julian was growing up...

Perhaps wrap your head around the fact that Julian was an accident and John was not mature enough to be a father or husband let alone was on the verge of global superstardom. Mind you, was Cynthia ever not taken care of during Beatlemania?? She never even had to work! Lived in luxury. Had a live in nanny, cook, housekeeper.

@@instantkarma8777 Ok , Yoko's paid staff member, we know it's you commenting 🙄 U keep telling yourself that! Lennon and Cynthia dated 4 years before she got pregnant! Almost 90% of children are accidents including Sean. Go back and tell that to your Boss the devil Yoko. Oh yeah u cant, bc she suffering from Demetia! She will meet HER Lord Lucifer soon enuf!

@@OCTOBERBABY7901 Oh you're one of those hating bible bashers! You hate me, you hate Yoko, you hate John, you've never met any of us yet it's just an excuse to write hate. I happen to be a fan of the imperfect John Lennon who just happened to fall in love with a lady you know little of other than rumours and hearsay. Yet you spend your menial, negative life watching KZfaq clips of them for the sole purpose of spreading spite to anyone who has anything objective to say. What a life you have. 2022 and you still banter on. The man was murdered in 1980 and died painfully and here you are bantering on with your hatred in 2022. What a life you lead.
