(Sunday, October 10, 1971) — Former Beatle John Lennon’s first interview with disc jockey Elliot Mintz — recorded Friday, October 8, 1971 — aired today on KLOS-FM in Los Angeles.

“I think I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. I have Yoko and that’s all that really matters to me. And I feel as though if I’d been or done anything else I would not have met her you know because I had to be just me at the right time at the right moment meeting her,” Lennon said.
