Go to youtube & look up “Magical Misery Tour” which originally came out on National Lampoon’s Radio Dinner in 1972.
The video is classic. The strung-together sentences of John Lennon’s 1970 Rolling Stone interview are priceless:
“Don’t you dare criticize my work! I’m a f***ing artist! I’m sensitive as s***! I throw up before I go on stage! I can make a guitar SPEAK!!”
“Yoko is a supreme intellectual! I’ll tell why nobody likes her music, it’s because she’s a woman and she’s Oriental, that’s why!!”
I think `72 was in the time he was hanging out with fellow sensitive wild man Harry Nilsson, and they were completely strung out and bellicose most of the time.
