The Lost Interview - John Lennon and Yoko Ono for Life Magazine 1969

Our Friend Joan Athey, author from Canada got up early this morning to share a very special moment with us.
She called us before heading off to work and we spent just under one hour on Skype.

Since we have Slow Motion Day today everything we do takes extra time... so there, the talk took a very long time

What she wanted to share with us today was an interview from back in 1969, an article written by the journalist Charles Childs, still alive and well in New York, written for Life Magazine. He met up with John and Yoko and talked to them about their Bed-in and their views on society, war, money and art. It is an un-published article and got pushed aside because of articles surrounding the Vietnam War - or so the story goes. I am Sure Joan can tell us more about the history of this lost article.

So there she was, Joan on our screen and our livefeed taking on the pat as Charles Childs as we worked our way through the article. Andrea read John's answers, I did Yoko's.

We want to thank Joan for sharing this very rare moment with us, we are tremendously thankful for your generosity.

Peace!
