NEW YORK -Three days before he was gunned down, John Lennon complained about his critics ââ¬â saying they were just interested in dead heroes ââ¬â and talked optimistically about his family and future, musing that he had plenty of time to accomplish some of his life goals.
Lennon's final interview was released to The Associated Press by Rolling Stone on Wednesday, the 30th anniversary of the musician's death. The issue using the full interview will be on magazine stands on Friday. While brief excerpts of Jonathan Cott's interview with Lennon were released for a 1980 Rolling Stone cover story days after Lennon's death, this is the first time the entire interview has been published.
His words are totally joyous and vibrant and hopeful and subversive and fearless, said Cott in an interview on Tuesday. He didn't mince words.
Lennon saves some of his harshest words for critics who were perennially disappointed with Lennon's path, in both music and in his life, after leaving the Beatles.
