Full Synopsis
Jonathan Cott met John Lennon in 1968 and remained friends with him and Yoko Ono until John's death in 1980. He has kept in touch with Yoko since that time, and is one of the few writers who understands her profoundly positive influence on Lennon. This deeply personal book recounts the course of these friendships over the decades and provides an intimate look at two of the most astonishing cultural figures of our time. And what Jonathan Cott has to say will be found nowhere else.

"Cott keeps the proceedings fluid and conversational . . . provides rare, raw and insightful comments from two colorful art personalities. Lennon and Ono as open and naked as on the cover of Two Virgins." ---Kirkus

"Their humor, genius, eccentricities, and freely acknowledged flaws break through most of the cliches we have come to accept about them. Cott has done them and us a very great favor." ---Richard Gere

"Cott does a solid job of creating intimacy between Lennon and the [listener], something fans of the much-missed musician will likely relish." ---Publishers Weekly

"George Newbern deftly switches from interviewer to interviewee. . . he gets the famous ex-Beatle's unique cadence in a way that ably suits the book's fireside intimacy." ---AudioFile
