Ah, I didn't think about copyright. I'll look for the books, along with all the others I need. But first I'll have to look for a good book store...

Hmm. The big Rolling Stone interview with John from 1970 is published in book form (Lennon Remembers by Jann S Wenner). The 1980 Playboy one is published as All We Are Saying by David Sheff.

Although much of these interviews are already online, I don't particularly want to get letters from lawyers telling me to take them down if I publish massive chunks of them. The brief quotations I've got already are OK under fair use/criticism clauses. Buy the books instead - they're both great.

Joe, can I please make an article suggestion? I know you're working your way through chronologically now, but there are a lot of references in the song articles to John's Rolling Stone and Playboy interviews. Those would be very useful to have on the site, you could probably copy and paste it from the internet somewhere.

Of course, this isn't a demand, just a suggestion...

Glad you found it. I did try and make the multiple pages a bit more prominent a while ago, hence the boxes around the numbers. Maybe I can do more to highlight them. The longer articles tend to be the more interesting ones, and it would be a shame if people didn't find all the content.

I think Jack Douglas has been a little more willing to talk about the Double Fantasy/Milk And Honey sessions recently, and there's bound to be plenty of interviews later this year. We'll see what he says. It was really tantalising of him to ...

I've read it Joe - page 2 and all that!

Glad you got that real spooky bit at the end about Jack Douglas. Now, perhaps Jack is just trying to create headlines (I say that without malice mind) but what DID John tell him I wonder? OK, we'll never know, but it's a nasty cliff-hanger that will be unsolved.....

Oh sh*t - my sincere apologies Joe! The answer, of course is "no I didn't see it" - DUH.

Because he was cremated on 10 December and I haven't written that page (yet). There's a lot of stuff before and after that day that's worth writing about, including the reaction of the other Beatles, but for now I'll leave it as it is.

Thanks to those who left corrections – I'm amending the pages now.

I actually meant the part where he was taken to Roosevelt Hospital and pronounced dead there etc. Maybe that ticked over the midnight hour?

I know, I just wanted to get them out of the way. You're welcome.

Now, back to July 1963...

Joe, why didn't you give details on what happened to John's body?

You'd think a bright sunny day would immune you a bit while reading about their deaths, but it doesn't. At least they only needed to be written once.

You don't have to write those three articles in a row!

Thank you, Joe.

Maybe I'm wrong, but in the "Day after day: the Beatles' history" part of the site, there's no references to John's and other people's death. I was looking for Stuart Sutcliffe death but I can't find anything. Then I look for John's death (December 8th, 1980) and nothing too!

I found about Brian Epstein death, though.

PS: This site is gold, man! I love it!

Right. I've had a really depressing afternoon. At least I'll never have to write these articles again.
