    John Lennon was so fucking brilliant. Not only in his music but in his character most of all. He gave such in depth answers to the shallowest of questions. He really made you think when he spoke. Tom Snyder did a terrific job in this interview as well.

      Its sad how John LET Yoko to Beatles reherse and recordings like bandmember, id say lennon lacked style in My eyes
      Its that British arrogance coming from history Being a worldwide Empire taking by force Area after Area that also passed to lennon. And its actually sad that arrogance talked about piece😮

      I get what you mean, but there genuinely are artists like him these days, but they are often obscured by the mainstream brainwashing we call music now-a-days... Or they join the contemporary pop-wagon in order to go big.
      Look at some of coldplay's first albums and songs, it's rather original and unique. Or people like Alec Benjamin, especially some of his earlier music, very artistic.
      I'm not comparing, rather mentioning.
      What made John a cut above the rest, is that he had experience and a talent for combining art and poetry with good sounding music and theory. As stated in the interview, he got to work with many musicians, whicb I think, really gave him some good wisdom and knowledge in the field.
      And he was overall a good guy.

      Only other interview I have seen Tom do is with Charles Manson and unfortunately like Geraldo he fell into the bully boy trap . Wanting to act the tough guy while being a privileged interviewer and asking the same nonsensical questions over and over . I just don't understand why interviewers will go in with a hardened criminal who is used to constant threats in a prison environment and try and act like they're Mike Tyson pushing chest out and acting all scary when it just makes the person shut down and laugh at them. Not putting Tom down I have only seen one interview with Manson apart from this but he should have changed his style of interview approach when all he was doing was hitting a brick wall against Manson. Dick everret (think he's called) interviewed both John and George and he was able to go to a plan B and plan C when George was difficult to crack

    I was 9 years old when Let It Be came out. My parents bought the album and I loved it. There was almost no way to get information on them, all you had was the album cover in those days. John seemed to always be in my consciousness like a big brother. Each day for the next 54 years at some point in the day John enters my thoughts either through song or something he said about life. Amazing really, thanks John!!

      Dick Cavett was primarily an entertainer; he admitted he got into show business to become famous. He was a writer who got his own gig, complete with monologue. The "conversations" were as much an opportunity to ad lib as learn something about the guests. He did have quite a few great guests, which is why it worked so well.

Oh and that last part where he talked about being able to go where he wants without fear of people disturbing him... Foreshadowing if i've ever seen any.

    Thomas James Snyder (May 12, 1936 - July 29, 2007) was an American television personality, news anchor, and radio personality best known for his late night talk shows Tomorrow, on NBC in the 1970s and 1980s, and The Late Late Show, on CBS in the 1990s.[1] Snyder was also the pioneer anchor of the prime time NBC News Update, in the 1970s and early 1980s, which was a one-minute capsule of news updates.

    The "futuristic" predictions for 1988 is hilarious - here in 2023 our pop artists can't even play the instruments as good as they did in the 60's!

      Musicians only need a computer now, which on plus side, does get more people involved especially young, who can't afford lots of instruments or lessons.

    John references both his immigration status and his ability in 1975 to walk around the NY streets when compared his earlier Beatlemania experience. Made me think If just simply his immigration was denied, he may have been still with us and what this world be with him in it a little longer.

  • @onecupof_tea

    I'd never heard of Tom Snyder, but it was like listening to a conversation rather than an interview, he let John talk and had questions and information seamlessly lined up, with no pauses or Ingratiating laughing.
    I'm glad John found peace in his last years, and ironically his marriage to yoko lasted til the end.

    the guy kinda reminds me of another geneus - Jimmy Persey. I know that Lennons admired Persey's early work, and it is a little know fac that he played on the Kidz Next Doors' demos - Persey's younger brother Robbie was in that band. So John's involvement in that family went beyond just being close friends with Jim. RIP John!

      It was all too soon after in all these interviews, and then all over, before the cultural significance of The Beatles whole catalogue and brand could be recognised. The passing of eras had to happen. Also Dec 1980 reinvigorated interest in The Beatles story.
