Thirty-eight years ago, a fourteen year old boy named Jerry Levitan snuck into John Lennon and Yoko Ono's Montreal room during their "peace in."  The short film, I Met the Walrus, based on a recording of their conversations, was nominated for an Oscar for "best animated short" at the 2008 Academy Awards, and won "Best Animated" at the Manhattan Short Film Festival.  Check it out here.

The real uncut stuff...always so much better than the small minded revisionist histories from people who think they knew what happened way back when, but have not got a clue.

thank you

It's kind of amazing that the ideas Lennon so charismatically articulates in this interview are so eternal, self evident and essential to living and yet so seldom put into practice.

 

If John Lennon had not existed we would have invented him.
