JOHN: I’m Not A Tough Guy. I’ve Always Had To Have A Facade Of Being Tough To Protect Myself From

JOHN: I’m not a tough guy. I’ve always had to have a facade of being tough to protect myself from other people’s neuroses. But really, I’m a very sensitive and weak guy. PAUL: John and I were two of the luckiest people in the twentieth century to have found each other. The partnership, the mix, was incredible. We both had submerged qualities that we each saw and knew. I had to be the bastard as well as the nice melodic one and John had to have a warm and loving side for me to stand him all those years. John and I would never have stood each other for that length of time had we been just one-dimensional. (1997) GEORGE: John Lennon is a saint, and he’s heavy-duty, and he’s great, and I love him. But at the same time, he’s such a bastard. (1974) RINGO: I was a big fan of John’s. I always felt he had the biggest heart, and he wasn’t the cynic that people thought. He had the biggest heart and he was the fastest. He was in and out. While we were still getting in he was out and on to the next round. (1995)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOHN WINSTON LENNON!

☆ born October 9, 1940. Liverpool, UK.

"I am just some guy who did . . . whatever. Always see me as me. I was always me, all the way through it. . . .

I love motels ’cause there is no reception area. I like hotels too. But I like motels as well. Just invisible places where you check in with a credit card, in the middle of the night, anywhere. Some guys in taxis now, old guys, they recognize the voice is English, but they don’t recognize me. They don’t know who the hell I am. They say, “Oh, you’re English! I was over there in the war . . .” And they go on and on . . . and tell me amazing life stories. . . .

They ask, “what do you do?” and I say, “I’m a musician,” and they say, “Are you doing alright?” “Yeah, I am . . .”

INTERVIEW to Frances Schoenberger, March 1975.
