I agree with the idea that experiencing the richness of the best of the last fifty or sixty years of music is more compelling than trudging through the work of endless mediocre contemporary artists looking for the good ones
The first time he really ever showed that he could see beyond what we were offering him was "Please Please Me." It was originally conceived as a Roy Orbison-type thing, you know. Of course when that comes out and people start looking at it they say, "Why has he got no shoes on? He's never done that before." OK, you've never seen me do it before, but, in actual fact, it's just me with my shoes off

Project Walrus and the Murder of John Lennon - War Is Crime
Mintz was in a position to observe the inner-workings of Project Walrus more closely than anyone, and concluded that the assassination attempts, bugs, wiretaps, thefts, and forgeries were steps in the discrediting of Lennon and Ono. These evangelicals also turned up in Guyana after the Jonestown massacre to plan a re-population of the area with Laotian mercenaries still reeking of raw opium, refined by the CIA into heroin for distribution to American GIs stationed in Vietnam and to the States via Air America and other criminalized Agency tentacles
JOHN LENNON COMES TO VISIT FROM THE SPIRIT WORLD
To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's mental and physical health is a responsibility which most of us, including me, avoid most of the time, because it's too hard. If you cheat them when they're children they'll make you pay when they're sixteen or seventeen by revolting against you or hating you or all those so-called teenage problems

It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.JOHN LENNON, Evening Standard, March 4, 19660 likes likeTags: ChristianityThe idea of beetles came into my head. Either I'm a genius or I'm mad, which is it? "No," I said, "I can't be mad because nobody's put me away; therefore I'm a genius." Genius is a form of madness and we're all that way
John Lennon Books
Lennon was not amused, but his anger at the interview being turned into a book did not prevent a paperback version being published later that same year by New American Library. A year later Signet in the USA offered both titles in one volume, they also published the Penguin book under a new title The Writing Beatle: John Lennon

John Lennon - Biography - IMDb
After the birth of their son Sean Lennon, John settled into the roles of "househusband" and full-time daddy, while Yoko became his business manager; both appeared happy in their new life together.After a five-year break from music and the public eye, they made a comeback with their album "Double Fantasy", but within weeks of their re-emergence, Lennon was murdered on the evening of December 8, 1980 by Mark David Chapman, a one-time Beatles fan angry and jealous over John's ongoing career, who fatally shot Lennon four times in the back outside his apartment building, The Dakota, as Lennon was returning from a recording session. He claimed a disdain for The Beatles memorabilia, but privately sent assistants to fan conventions (including the early Beatlefests) to buy interesting or special items
What the Hell Did John Lennon See in Yoko Ono? -
After all, back in 1975 he and May Pang had just met with a realtor to look at some houses in the Hamptons and John had told May he wanted to setup house with her and get out of her cramped apartment. She probably was sick of Lennon and his clinging, needy ways, but did not want to give up the perks, prestige and respect that came with being the wife of former Beatle John Lennon

Paul had this bit of a song and we played it roughly for them and they said, 'Yeah, OK, that's our style.' But it was only really a lick, so Paul and I went off in the corner of the room and finished the song off while they were all sitting there, talking. A) we have already said it and, B) 100,000,000 other people have said it, too." PLAYBOY: "But your songs do have messages." LENNON: "All we are saying is, 'This is what is happening to us.' We are sending postcards

But to get back to your original question about the Beatles and their music, the answer is that we did some good stuff and we did some bad stuff." PLAYBOY: "Many people feel that none of the songs Paul has done alone match the songs he did as a Beatle. How were you able to see a way out?" LENNON: "Most people don't live with Yoko Ono." PLAYBOY: "Which means?" LENNON: "Most people don't have a companion who will tell the truth and refuse to live with a bullshit artist, which I am pretty good at
That was the song, "Help!." I think everything that comes out of a song -- even Paul's songs now, which are apparently about nothing -- shows something about yourself. So I wasn't going to see him at all, but he sort of blackmailed me in the press by saying all this about being a poor man washing dishes while I was living in luxury
