John and Yoko
This version of the interview appeared in January 1981. It hit the stands the first week of December, a few days before John died. The last time I spoke to John and Yoko was on December 7. The next day he was gone.
The complete interview is now published in the book All We Are Saying.
As I wrote in the introduction to “All We Are Saying”
“Their message is simultaneously complex and simple: Know yourself and learn to think for yourself. Love is the answer. Do for others when you are able. Though living is easy with eyes closed, we must fight the impulse. If we don’t like what we see, change it. At least try. Celebrate life. Imagine a better world.
That’s all they are saying.
