John Lennon . . . as much a part of our world today as he ever
was
He touched many lives in his brief forty years, and continues to
move and inspire millions more to this day. Now, invited by Yoko
Ono, friends, family, and fans from all walks of life-including
some of the great artists of our day-reminisce about Lennon as a
visionary and friend, musician and performer, husband and father,
activist and jokester.
In their own words and drawings, poems and photos, Lennon's life
from his childhood through the Beatles years to the happiness and
tragedy of his final days become stunningly vivid.
Intimate glimpses gathered from musicians who knew John, such as
Pete Townshend, Sir Elton John, Billy Preston, and Joan Baez;
friends and relatives such as producer David Geffen, publicist
Elliot Mintz, and cousin Mike Cadwallader; and artists who followed
him such as Bono, Alicia Keys, Steve Earle, Jello Biafra, and
Carlos Santana.
And, for the first time, renowned photographer Annie Liebovitz
presents every frame of the historic last session with John and
Yoko.
Memories of John Lennon is a rich and deeply felt appreciation
of a truly great man.
