Howard's Beginning

By request, here are two telephone interviews with John Lennon from his 1969 Montreal Bed-in. Village Voice journalist Howard Smith had covered Yoko Ono's happenings in New York, but this was the first of many times he spoke with her husband.

Their initial interview, conducted May 29th, was lengthy and revealing. After it was aired on WABC radio, it prompted this follow-up discussion, recorded the next day.
