It's the classic 1975 John lennon interview for Rolling Stone magazine. Not all of it makes sense unless you know your Beatles history well (I don't particularly) but it's still fantastic, and instructive. The golden days of rare but unfettered access to celebrities has long gone, now they're everywhere, saying nothing. The best thing about this piece, though, is that a reasonably pretentious writer gets to show off in the intro, then gets tied down to the Q&A format, and you get to hear Lennon's voice. Very odd that so few national papers in the UK do their arts and culture interviews this way - perhaps because the stars say nothing of substance, the writer has to waffle on about the leather sofas in the Groucho Club for the 875th time, rather than just print the words the artist spoke..... Anyway, enjoy.

There is this one book called Journal of a Being Who is Hard to Please by Jeni Acterian. It's a journal of all the encounters she had with all sort of contemporary artists. It's simply fascinating to read about their tours and what inspired a certain song or a painting. I guess the book you speak about must have the same thrill in it. I'll make sure I'll find it and have it on my night stand as soon as possible.

Thank you for taking this step. It would be interesting to know how helpful it has been for you personally. I like the idea of do follow blogs, but get very irritated when the bulk of the responses are of the kind, “Great post, I enjoyed reading it,” or “Fantastic blog, keep up the good work.”

I’m impressed, I have to say. Very seldom do I see a blog thats both educational and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Your blog is important; the matter is something that not a lot of people are talking intelligently about. I’m really happy that I stumbled across this in my search for something relating to it.
