talking (and playing with his doggie briefly). I wonder if this was taped at his house in the Hamptons.

Most of the stories I've heard before. Nice hearing them at this stage of his life and all at once.

I was always more of a Lennon fan, and I must admit that my defenses kicked in toward the beginning when I thought he was taking too much credit for songs that I always felt were attributed to John. It's good to see him relaxed and talking about making music though. Important to get a record of as many stories like this as possible now. I just wish we had a chance to hear John's version too.

...with John and Yoko a year or so before he died where he explained the genesis of many of their songs. Maybe it is in hindsight, but at the time it seemed as if he was 'tidying up' the process of writing music, before he left.

This was so good to watch. He comes across as such a humble genius. If I lived in that room, I'd wouldn't want to leave.

Thanks for posting. And thanks to Paul and GQ for twenty-six minutes of much-needed peace and tranquility.
