Good push on both sides. It's fun to see someone pushing back against Lennon's celebrity and questioning his sincerity. And from Lennon's standpoint, it's good to hear his "advertising campaign for peace" explanation -- he was using his talents and abilities to influence public opinion against the war. It would have been easier and more profitable for him to stay silent and write "Love Me Do" knockoffs. My cousin was killed in Vietnam in 1967. By all accounts Vietnam was a shitshow, and it took a lot of courage at the time to speak out against the military industrial regime. Still does today.
She's not just a reporter. She's a seasoned war correspondent. SHe saw the reality, while he lived in celebrity opulence. His concern was real. He needed a dose of the real world.

I love how John is still causing debates over 40 years after he was silenced. You might have loved him, hated him, burnt your bra and vinyls in 1966 because of his comments. Yet in 2023 John, Paul, George and Ringo have topped the charts once more. That's, Power to the People ❤

There names were almost forgotten in the 80s - if it weren’t for Napster and RUclips they would have faded into the background. Slick marketing indeed but it’s not a very good song - he was well past his prime.
John and Yoko gave that interviewer reasoning. She was questioning John for what he’s become and what’s he’s doing, but he is giving her reasoning and showing of how much he’s proud and strong of what he/and his fan’s are doing. Doing an advertising campaign for peace, writing a songs for his fans and that they were singing etc. etc. John Lennon is a legend forever and on and nothing no interviewer nothing will stop him. RIP you ABSOLUTE LEGEND.
Promoting peace is a worthy pursuit, and I appreciate John's courage and putting himself out there for criticism. We know how sensitive and defensive he can be. But how admirable!
I think he did not go to this anti-war rally because he was having trouble with the US immigration authorities. He was having problems with them up until the late 1970s..
'This reporter' is celebrated NY Times war correspondent Gloria Emerson, who had just returned from reporting on the Vietnam War. In 1969, John Lennon created one of the most enduring anti-war anthems, “Give Peace a Chance" which was sung at the massive Vietnam Moratorium march in Washington in the fall of 1969. In December '69, Emerson conducted this heated interview with Lennon and Yoko Ono at the headquarters of Apple Records in London.
It is hard to believe that at this point in time John would be 29 years old. Songs such as "A Hard Day's Night", "Help!", "I Am the Walrus", and many more would only be anywhere from 6 to 1 years old depending on the album. Another thing too is that John was already dramatically changed because Brian here is dead, his marriage to Cynthia is over, and he was no longer a young man with illusions of things going a certain way just because he wanted them to. He wanted Peace for the world, but the world we are in is not meant to know that Peace. Here we are on the 43rd anniversary of his assassination, and yet people still don't fully understand that he himself understood that he was with a group that wanted a major change, but because of Vietnam Peace was not a possibility at that time, then in the 90s we had Desert Storm, then we had the War on Terror, now we have a war in Ukraine, and Israel. It's a scary world out there, and we are all right smack in the middle of the show. John got understandably mad with this reporter because she kept going on about how she didn't understand what his message was, but that as a Beatle he was clear. I don't know if I would say at this point that he grew up, because he did lash out like a little boy, he was quite famous for his temper and his sharp tongue. RIP John, gone but not forgotten
I think he loved to debate with someone who could debate. And of course he would get angry if you didn't agree with him because of course in his mind he's right. But as long as you were prepared to have the debate, he'd be happy to go all night with you.
Since he was a Beatle people assumed he was so smart and above argument and he bought into it. This is why when people are seen (rarely) pushing back on him he turns to getting angry and yelling at them. You see the same thing with Roger Waters. Like many rock stars, he actually wasn't well educated. I have always been a huge Beatles fan, but as I get older I see them differently as people. When this interview happened I thought how cool he was. Now I see him as being the asshole he always was. Paul isn't a great guy either. He puts on a nice face but in real life he's a big phony. The nicest of the 4 is Ringo.
LMFAO Yeah sure Johns a "punk". Honestly Punk is so fucking cringe now. Anyone or anything that identifies itself as Punk is the walking talking antithesis of punk. He literally says "I did an advertising campaign for peace!" Omfg that makes me want to puke. He was way ahead of his time i'll give you that. wrapping his brand in rainbow colored virtues to sell his soul and it worked, much like the corpo boomers that control america do now.
she was a seasoned war correspondent who knew her shit. She was calling out Lennon. His heart was in the right place. He was a sheltered rich celebrity.
The interviewer is obviously afraid. With the fear of what people might say about someone, what they might think. What they might think about John's peace campaign. She is overwhelmed by foreign shame. And John Lennon shouts it in her face that he has recognized this - the woman has not grown up yet, unlike John. The greatness of this interview becomes more apparent with every viewing.
Gloria Emerson tragically committed suicide in 2004. John Lennon was tragically murdered in 1980. Since this interview was made in 1969. May their souls/spirits both rest in peace. May God bless them and keep them. 🕊 🏳️🤍 🙏 🤲 ✝️

John Lennon had quite a middle-class upbringing in many ways but he seemed to rebel against it. Brian Epstein The Beatles manager was quite posh and sophisticated. George Martin the producer was too. I don't think John Lennon disliked middle-class or posh people. I think he seemed to relate with being working-class in some ways. He had an emotionally complicated upbringing.

She was a seasoned war corrrespondent who really knew her shit. HE was a pampered celebrity without a clue. He's angry because he knows he's in way over his head. Anger doesn't usually mean you won a debate. (See: Trump)
@chetsenior7253 Women who know their shit, who challenge men, are regularly dismissed. Never the man who is shooting his mouth off without having a clue what he's talking about. He had no clue what he was talking about, and neither did his wife, who was raised as a pampered aristocratic rich girl. She was constantly telling him he was a genius, and every fart he made was significant and the world needed to smell it.
One of the greatest song writer ever he is a music genius miss you brother i still listen to his stuff today Better than crap today and this reporter is annoying
This reminds me of that story about Jim Tucker from the Turtles, he idolised Lennon and when they finally met Lennon mocked him so brutally that he left the group, quit music, and moved to Grass Valley, California where he became an electrical contractor.
Years ago when I watched this I thought he was so cool and brilliant. Now, he just seems arrogant, defense and preachy. Like Paul said, too many people preaching practices. Flawed guy, no different than the rest of us.
@@fuzzpedal even those closest to him said that. Julian wouldn’t laugh around him because John had told him once that he hated his laugh and Sean was partially deaf in one ear because John had once yelled at him close to his ear.
Go John! That's exactly why I've always loved you. Now 60 years later, I don't agree with all you're philosophies. But I've always loved and joined in the purpose of PEACE .and I've always admired your integrity to say what you see. Bless you wherever you are.
I love his peace movement. There are better ways than war to solve differences. We know better, but money and rich men must play with their expensive war toys, instead of helping all of humanity.
I agree with it too, the guy asking for an explanation as to why...John was against the Viet Nam war and wanted peace.....simple...any more loaded questions?..
The reporter was a snob. She was a complete snob. You can even pick that up in the tone of her voice. You know ...when you go to broadcasting school you are basically taught how to put words in people's mouths and that's what DJ's do and that's certainly what journalists have been known to do. They're either attempting to put words in your mouth or they're playing diversion with the subject matter...or its the old shift response with the musician so they can skip right over what the artist feels is productive and get to the hyped up stuff. And a journalist is very capable of accomplishing this along with taking attention away from what they...themselves...do
Gloria Emerson (May 19, 1929 - August 3, 2004)[1] was an American author, journalist and New York Times war correspondent. Emerson received the 1978 National Book Award in Contemporary Thought for Winners and Losers, her book about the Vietnam War.[2] She wrote four books, in addition to articles for Esquire, Harper's, Vogue, Playboy, Saturday Review and Rolling Stone.
It's so funny to hear him talk about the moptops like they were the ancient past - it was literally five years before this moment. Insane how compressed their whole timeline was as a group
@@DavidThomas-me6pi no one said he was a saint but as far as i know he had helped many movements financially and many people.Even the irish against his own country england for their liberation cause.And besides that he had "no reason" to go that far against so many interests and put his head in risk .He could easily go the silent way like so many others and mind only his personal business.I believe that even he had weaknesses like all people deep inside him he truly embraced real idealism .Muhammad ali also had a huge fortune too but he too honestly cared about a better and more fair world
Watched an interview with Julian Lennon this week. He said his father was very agressive. How can you talk about peace in the world if you are agressive with your own child?
@jamesbarker2567 how's it debatable, you give discipline from the start because if not the kid will grow up to think he or she can do the fuck they want without consequences, that's why we have a society of today because parents don't give a fuck apart from where the next pay cheque is coming from
Let’s play a game: spot the psy-op. People who want pity and money will always pull an Amber Heard, especially if they get extra money from central intelligence for telling a pernicious lie that delegitimizes a literal peace movement. There’s literally no proof this actually happened, and he was never confronted about this when he was alive, so had not opportunity to defend himself against these claims. I wouldn’t repeat gossip that has no proof, personally.
It took guts to confront a man like Lennon at that time; very few people would have had the fortitude to tell him that he was completely out of his element. He wasn't used this kind of confrontational criticism.
He got plenty of that in England. Mostly because he hooked up with Yoko. But in America (when he got there) Nixon saw him as a threat , and made his deportation a priority.
@johnboyginger fair play to her for what? Being condescending & having a 'holier than thou' attitude? John did not have to use his influence as a musical legend to raise awareness against the war, which he did. Massive respect to him for doing that.
@@lancep4164 you mean the kid he had with a woman he cheated on and abused? what a true integrity! can't believe so many people are still blind to what a monster Lennon really was.
It's true, from Nixon wanting him deported, to Yoko cheating on him and taking his money. John was severely depressed by the late 70s, there's a very sad audio diary here from '79 his estate released.
@@Uetti So if you’re going to try to mobilize a peace movement to end a war, which is what they were discussing, it kinda matters whether your methods are capable of being significantly influential. This reporter did some very important work, to be sure. But Lennon immortalized the movement and made his impact unforgettable by history- and we’re still looking to his lyrics for inspiration with the wars we’re dealing with today, inspiring a new generation of anti-war protesters. That’s why it’s important
She's a journalist, a person of the highest personal integrity and he's just some bloke who once wrote songs, as part of some band from England, wherever that is. That's my interpretation of how she sees herself in relation to John Lennon.
"I did an advertising campaign for peace!" Lennon said calmly

Lennon was confrontational here but let’s face it, this woman was talking down to him like some snotty headmistress so no wonder he got angry
She prob had it with Marxist leftists.
She was a seasoned war corrrespondent who really knew her shit. HE was a pampered celebrity without a clue. He's angry because he knows he's in way over his head. Anger doesn't usually mean you won a debate. (See: Trump)
@chetsenior7253 Women who know their shit, who challenge men, are regularly dismissed. Never the man who is shooting his mouth off without having a clue what he's talking about. He had no clue what he was talking about, and neither did his wife, who was raised as a pampered aristocratic rich girl. She was constantly telling him he was a genius, and every fart he made was significant and the world needed to smell it.
@chetsenior7253 yes and he didn’t bow to her talking down to him like he was some naughty schoolboy either.
@loosilu She is a bloody snot rag, who talks a whole lot of rubbish to the Iconic John Lennon .She can't stand up a powerful man, she got owned.😅😅
Hard to believe that was only 6 years after Beatlemania of 1963.
I can listen to his speaking voice for hours
Mans was a savage back in the day 😂😂
As John Lennon once said: "It's a game."
Mind games
@chetsenior7253nope
eat crow
This is always one of my faves
One of the greatest song writer ever he is a music genius miss you brother i still listen to his stuff today Better than crap today and this reporter is annoying
all that they were saying was G IV E P EA CE A C H A N C E.
John is the best at managing his anger
He was just sitting there, watching the wheels go round and round.
John was so awesome. Would of loved to have met him..❤
would have...
No, you wouldn't of (have).
look beyond the deception. Tavistock Institute.
This reminds me of that story about Jim Tucker from the Turtles, he idolised Lennon and when they finally met Lennon mocked him so brutally that he left the group, quit music, and moved to Grass Valley, California where he became an electrical contractor.
@@tonywillans7556why?
Wow that reporter was obnoxious and had an agenda against John and his song. I am glad he spoke how he feels about it.
She’s being condescending.
The best part was left out here, "BUT YOU'VE MADE YOURSELF RIDICULOUS!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Damn he obliterated her at the end, "ive grown up love but obviously you haven't " sheeeesh 😆🔥
yea your right, sounds exactly like what a 14 year old says to their parents. hehe, doesnt sound grown up at all.
@@mrjelly5718the thing is, It does sound grownup
@@sathira_anuk5179it sounds like he's throwing a tantrum
We all want to see John's reaction to "What have you grown up to?" though. 😅
He just never seemed to be very happy.
Well he was with Yoko 😂
If he was content, he probably would have made a lot less art. He knew the immense value of peace partly because he lacked it in himself, im sure.
The H he was on here wound him up
@@user-fu2mi1nd5l Well, maybe. I just think he was a bit of a cunt.
John was a genius, but he was full of himself at this time. Mahatma Ghandi he isn't.
😊😊😊lol..
Years ago when I watched this I thought he was so cool and brilliant. Now, he just seems arrogant, defense and preachy. Like Paul said, too many people preaching practices. Flawed guy, no different than the rest of us.
Yeah how dare he advocate peace, glad you grew up to see that for the pointless rubbish it is. Woohoo war, baby!
Much different than you. Unless you've written brilliant lyrics and music. If so, I apologize.
Very different and better than rest of us , And no he's cool and brilliant here
For a man who promoted peace he didn’t seem to have much of it.
Sure Martin
@@fuzzpedal even those closest to him said that. Julian wouldn’t laugh around him because John had told him once that he hated his laugh and Sean was partially deaf in one ear because John had once yelled at him close to his ear.
@@martinone9 Yeah okay Martin
Because he was so violent here, right? No, what you see is passion. Stop trolling.
He hit Cynthia, his first wife, before they married. She describes it in her book.
That woman was so obnoxious and disrespectful. Most people would get what he’s trying to do. She’s just trying to give him shit. 😏
she is trying to discredit him. same tactics used to shame those who wouldn't go along with the jab agenda.
Actually she has a point, and John seems nervous cause he can't get a proper answer to her
Goddamn! What’s with this reporter? I love the John Lennon puts her to the test.
Go John! That's exactly why I've always loved you. Now 60 years later, I don't agree with all you're philosophies. But I've always loved and joined in the purpose of PEACE .and I've always admired your integrity to say what you see. Bless you wherever you are.
" i used my song writing ability for anyone that can sing "
Wooow what a Talented Man he has ...
This is the confusion point exactly
I kinda see where the reporters coming from
I love his peace movement. There are better ways than war to solve differences. We know better, but money and rich men must play with their expensive war toys, instead of helping all of humanity.
I agree with what John Lennon says ❤
How so...explain.
@@donkey3187I don't think anyone would bother to explain simple thing like that to a donkey
I agree with it too, the guy asking for an explanation as to why...John was against the Viet Nam war and wanted peace.....simple...any more loaded questions?..
Soooo glad he bigged up the genius of The Devanté Swing, wasn’t expecting that from the title🏆
She treated John with extreme disrespect. She later ended up committing suicide, not sure if it had any relation to this or not.
You don’t kill yourself because several decades earlier you conducted a spirited interview with John Lennon…
ya, no doubt…she forgot about it the next day
What a Pratt that interviewer is!
Jesus Christ lady! Let him talk!
Amen
He is Jesus Christ
He'd been talking and talking. He needed to listen and his ego woulodn't let him. She really knew her shit.
@@loosilunope she clearly doesn't
Good quality for 1969
The reporter was a snob. She was a complete snob. You can even pick that up in the tone of her voice. You know ...when you go to broadcasting school you are basically taught how to put words in people's mouths and that's what DJ's do and that's certainly what journalists have been known to do. They're either attempting to put words in your mouth or they're playing diversion with the subject matter...or its the old shift response with the musician so they can skip right over what the artist feels is productive and get to the hyped up stuff. And a journalist is very capable of accomplishing this along with taking attention away from what they...themselves...do
Gloria Emerson (May 19, 1929 - August 3, 2004)[1] was an American author, journalist and New York Times war correspondent. Emerson received the 1978 National Book Award in Contemporary Thought for Winners and Losers, her book about the Vietnam War.[2] She wrote four books, in addition to articles for Esquire, Harper's, Vogue, Playboy, Saturday Review and Rolling Stone.
'journalist'😂

@@robertwilson214 He made it the topic. Wake up
Great to see someone not fawning before celebrity.
It's so funny to hear him talk about the moptops like they were the ancient past - it was literally five years before this moment. Insane how compressed their whole timeline was as a group

A natural genius with huge empathy trying to communicate with a foolish narcissist
Yea. Huge empathy and millions of dollars in net worth.
@@DavidThomas-me6pi He was talented and had luck same time my friend.He really had millions if not billions
@@pantelisraptis7685 yes. I’m sure he had lots of cash. That’s why I laugh when people like him say “imagine no possessions”
@@DavidThomas-me6pi no one said he was a saint but as far as i know he had helped many movements financially and many people.Even the irish against his own country england for their liberation cause.And besides that he had "no reason" to go that far against so many interests and put his head in risk .He could easily go the silent way like so many others and mind only his personal business.I believe that even he had weaknesses like all people deep inside him he truly embraced real idealism .Muhammad ali also had a huge fortune too but he too honestly cared about a better and more fair world
@@pantelisraptis7685 maybe you’re right.
Watched an interview with Julian Lennon this week. He said his father was very agressive. How can you talk about peace in the world if you are agressive with your own child?
Because kids don't like to be told off hence why we got a society like we got, it's called discipline and should be more of
@@bazcrowther8205 Debatable
@jamesbarker2567 how's it debatable, you give discipline from the start because if not the kid will grow up to think he or she can do the fuck they want without consequences, that's why we have a society of today because parents don't give a fuck apart from where the next pay cheque is coming from
Let’s play a game: spot the psy-op. People who want pity and money will always pull an Amber Heard, especially if they get extra money from central intelligence for telling a pernicious lie that delegitimizes a literal peace movement. There’s literally no proof this actually happened, and he was never confronted about this when he was alive, so had not opportunity to defend himself against these claims. I wouldn’t repeat gossip that has no proof, personally.
‘John Lennon was acid. He gave that hard edge to The Beatles’ - George Harrison.
All he was saying was give peace a chance ❤😊
Lennon Was The Melody
In This Ono Was The Bass😂😂😂
John reminds me of when my dad gets on my case
sounds toxic
Great to hear John Lennon revert back to being a "don't mess with me Scouser" to get his point across.
Is there a full version as it continues ?
Thanks.
I think they are both interacting how they should.
It took guts to confront a man like Lennon at that time; very few people would have had the fortitude to tell him that he was completely out of his element. He wasn't used this kind of confrontational criticism.
she was a twat
He got plenty of that in England. Mostly because he hooked up with Yoko.
But in America (when he got there) Nixon saw him as a threat , and made his deportation a priority.
The woman interviewer was a neurotic, arrogant self righteous idiot with her head up her ass; and deserved far more of a tirade than John gave her.
@@briangallagher2236 Ironically, had Nixon totally succeeded Lennon might still be alive.
No, lots of people did
Fair play to her. Wasn’t transfixed by his celebrity.
That’s on you, not Lennon.
She was totally disrespectful though , when you see the unedited clip
@@subg8858 yeah maybe but it’s just nice to celebrities not having their backsides kissed by journalists desperate for an interview.
@@johnboyginger being an ass because you misunderstand or are jus an ass is not refreshing, it’s obnoxious.
@johnboyginger fair play to her for what? Being condescending & having a 'holier than thou' attitude? John did not have to use his influence as a musical legend to raise awareness against the war, which he did. Massive respect to him for doing that.
john didn't get angry, he was debating with an idiot reporter that was trying to make him look bad
Wow. I do hate how rational he is. It's very tempting to hate him, but I just can't.
I love his attitude. 😊
Same Here
John Lennon is one of those who had True Integrity
Except that he sang about his father leaving him a few years after he left his own kid
@@lancep4164 you mean the kid he had with a woman he cheated on and abused? what a true integrity! can't believe so many people are still blind to what a monster Lennon really was.
All his life people took shots at John, right up to the last moment.
Jesus christ dude…
Clever but wtf.
Truth hurts the little babies?
Too soon dude, too soon 😅
It's true, from Nixon wanting him deported, to Yoko cheating on him and taking his money. John was severely depressed by the late 70s, there's a very sad audio diary here from '79 his estate released.
Go John!❤
Tell it, Lennon!
I have to say, in this lame nowaday´s world of interviews, THIS is the way to go, on both sides. Real talk.
WOW, John sounds so "PEACEFUL", doesn't he?
Are you being intentionally dense?
@@ianrastoski3346Huh???
He's
John Lennon PRESSED. Livestreamer asked to run it back.
I never understood the presence of Ono.
omg he's hitchens from liverpool
Im with John on this one
I would have loved to have met him. Choose your battles
Make it a happy go lucky song !
How about *"Reporter is angry at John Lennon and tries to get him to be angry for her story"*
It's so funny hearing him shout and argue about peace. Lol
Actually I love John, but he was like an angry kid. Emotionally immature.
She said, "when have you grown up?" haha
Deliberately trying to egg him on to see if he would get violent . Well done Mr Lennon.
John getting angry at Edna from the incredibles
A professional war correspondent. He needed to acdtually listen for once.
I don't know who this reporter was. No one remembers her. Lennon will be remembered for a good many more years.
So?
@@Uetti So if you’re going to try to mobilize a peace movement to end a war, which is what they were discussing, it kinda matters whether your methods are capable of being significantly influential. This reporter did some very important work, to be sure. But Lennon immortalized the movement and made his impact unforgettable by history- and we’re still looking to his lyrics for inspiration with the wars we’re dealing with today, inspiring a new generation of anti-war protesters. That’s why it’s important
You tell her John! 👍
She's a journalist, a person of the highest personal integrity and he's just some bloke who once wrote songs, as part of some band from England, wherever that is.
That's my interpretation of how she sees herself in relation to John Lennon.
0:36 & 1:29 lol
The best is when he's like, "And when I get there I'll sing it with them! * Awkward Pause* -When I Get in!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😂I Love John to death
