Conversations with John Lennon John Lennon was a highly opinionated and controversial figure with a commanding personality and quick wit, who made a point of living his life as openly as possible. Whether he was experimenting with LSD, Transcendental Meditation, or recording techniques, the public was on board every step of the way. He spoke candidly about his intense, tumultuous relationship with Yoko Ono, his split with the Beatles, his squabbles with Paul McCartney, and just about everything else. By the time he granted his—and this book's—final interview, only hours before his death, he had become one of the most famous people on the planet. Lennon on Lennon is an authoritative, chronologically arranged anthology of Lennon's most illuminating interviews, spanning 1964 to 1980. The majority have not been previously available in print, and several of the most important have not been widely available in any format.
