Video: 'JOHN LENNON - Dernière interview avant son meurtre - 8 Décembre 1980'

(Monday, December 8, 1980, for a few hours this afternoon, ending at around 5:00 p.m. EST) — Former Beatle John Lennon and his wife, Yoko Ono, sat down with Dave Sholin, Laurie Kaye and Ron Hummel of San Francisco’s RKO Radio (plus Bert Keane of Warner Bros.) this afternoon at Ono’s Studio One office at the Dakota apartment building in New York City for another lengthy interview to promote their new studio album Double Fantasy.

Lennon spoke candidly about the lost revolutionary focus of the 1960s and his advocacy for world peace and feminism.

“Maybe in the ’60s we were naïve and like children and later everyone went back to their rooms and said, ‘We didn’t get a wonderful world of flowers and peace… The world is a nasty horrible place because it didn’t give us everything we cried for,'” he said. “Right? Crying for it wasn’t enough.”

As the interview came to a close, Lennon remarked, “I consider that my work won’t be finished until I’m dead and buried and I hope that’s a long, long time.”

This turned out to be Lennon’s final interview.

Prior to the interview, portrait photographer Annie Leibovitz went to the Lennons’ apartment to do a photo shoot for Rolling Stone magazine. One of her images is of a completely clothed Ono lying on her back and a naked Lennon, who’s kissing and embracing his wife in a fetal-like position.

“You’ve captured our relationship exactly,” the couple reportedly told Leibovitz.

After the RKO interview, the Lennons departed the Dakota to catch a ride to the Record Plant recording studio to mix Ono’s song “Walking on Thin Ice.”

On his way out, John was photographed by super fan Paul Goresh signing the cover of a copy of his new album for another “fan” who would murder him six hours later.
