Lennon Remembers Details
Review “As riveting a document as it was three decades ago ... there is still nothing to rival this interview in the annals of rock journalism—it has lost none of its power to shock.”—Anthony DeCurtis, Rolling Stone“Arguably the most legendary interview ever conducted with a major celebrity.”—Library Journal“A must-have for anyone who loves and remembers Lennon.”—San Antonio Express“This is the only voice that will ever articulate what it was really, really like to be in the Beatles when it all went wrong—caught in a moment, rasping, raving, and flaming mad.”—Uncut“Finds Lennon in fine form, still bitter about the breakup of the Beatles, full of optimism about his future solo projects, opinionated, emotional and full of life. It captures his mercurial character more exactly than any other book on the Beatles I’ve read.”—Independent on Sunday Read more About the Author Jann S.

Reviews
Must read for any Beatle fan. 1970 Rolling Stone interview. John was certainly bitter and talks openly about the band's break up and subsequent careers. Spoiler alert...he expresses strong dislike for Paul and dismisses George's musical talents while remaining relatively positive about Ringo.
