The audio of Jann Wenner's benchmark 1970 Rolling Stone interview with John Lennon, available online for the first time at the BBC. (Text excerpts from the same interview.) Topics range from his favorite Beatles lyrics to 'the hypocrisy of Beatlemania' to stagnating as an artist to the breakup to his solo career to Paul to hating on the Rolling Stones to, of course, Yoko. Long, but outstanding.

Q: Do you have a picture of ``when I'm sixty-four''?

JL: No, no. I hope we're a nice old couple living off the coast of Ireland or something like that - looking at our scrapbook of madness.

He would have been sixty-five in October, you know.
