This episode is the first of a 3-parter that picks out some interesting extracts from the book \u2018All We Are Saying\u2019, based on the transcripts of the interviews. A lot of the narrative promoted by John &amp;amp; Yoko in these interviews has been reasonably debunked, including the obvious and provable point that John's songs for 'Double Fantasy' were worked on for years rather than being the product of pure inspiration. The overall contention over what the truth is has helped form the Coleman-Goldman continuum that has been a almost frequent topic of study on this podcast Before the main topic, there is also a recommendation and critique of Madeline Bocaro\u2019s epic new 500-page book on Yoko Ono, whose narrative fits neatly with the interviews being studied in this episode. There are numerous audio clips to complement the conversation, including some of John from the interviews themselves. &amp;nbsp; Enjoy! &amp;nbsp;   Feedback to glassonionpod@yahoo.com   Support the show at https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/paypalme\/antonyrotunno   OR   https:\/\/www.buymeacoffee.com\/antonyrotunno Facebook page-&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/glassonionjlpod Twitter handle&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.twitter.com\/OnionLennon Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching)&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.antonyrotunno.com Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology)&amp;nbsp;https:\/\/www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com Antony on Luke\u2019s English Podcast talking about meditation https:\/\/teacherluke.co.uk\/2022\/03\/16\/ &amp;nbsp; episode links The Playboy Interviews (more than 3 hours of audio clips) https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PRDfBGagFkU link to Madeline Bocaro\u2019s new book on Yoko Ono https:\/\/madelinex.com\/2021\/12\/19\/my-new-book\/ Madeline and Dan Richter on the \u2018Things We Said Today\u2019 podcast https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=177VFkC1oC4 \u2018John Lennon\u2019s Original Lost Weekend\u2019 (episode of \u2018The Beatles Naked\u2019)  https:\/\/player.fm\/series\/the-beatles-naked\/episode-19-hamburg-spring-62-lennons-original-lost-weekend Double Fantasy Revisited (\u2018Something About The Beatles\u2019 podcast)  https:\/\/somethingaboutthebeatles.com\/243-double-fantasy-revisited-part-one\/  https:\/\/somethingaboutthebeatles.com\/244-double-fantasy-revisited-part-two\/ Kirby Ferguson\u2019s \u2018Everything Is A Remix\u2019 website, documentary and TED talk https:\/\/www.everythingisaremix.info\/ https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nJPERZDfyWc https:\/\/www.ted.com\/talks\/kirby_ferguson_embrace_the_remix Huxley vs Orwell (dystopia and modern reality) https:\/\/allthatsinteresting.com\/amusing-ourselves-to-death-comic \u2018Amusing Ourselves To Death\u2019 audiobook https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pX2_8NteDrQ \u2018Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah\u2019 by Richard Bach audiobook https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QI1yf916CJQ ","author_name":"Glass Onion: On John Lennon","author_url":"https:\/\/glassoniononjohnlennon.com\/","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/26268633\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/26268633"}
