Amazing animation. “In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. This was in the midst of Lennon’s ‘bed-in’ phase, during which John and Yoko were staying in hotel beds in an effort to promote peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it.” [via DS]

on 09 Dec 08Beautiful. Makes me miss John, as well. Makes me feel old to think that I am the establishment now and I don’t think there are many artists with the courage Lennon had to challenge borders and preconceptions.

on 09 Dec 08The embed tag is missing width and height attributes, so in firefox you only see about 1/3 of the video…

on 09 Dec 08Great done. Respect. Hard Work. Those illustrations of the videos are great. There are quite a few very well done, but they don’t add really more information to the audio.

on 10 Dec 08@smartminion if you think peace is ‘philosophical nonsense’ you should rethink some of your values.

on 10 Dec 08Laughing out loud about the Gap commercial at the end of the video with all of these “stars” dancing and wearing Gap clothes. We have certainly come a long way. Startling contrast.
Great video by the way.

This reminded me why John was always my favorite Beatle…
