Citando:
"The spirit of revolution was alive and well in John & Yoko: Above Us Only Sky (Channel 4), a documentary celebrating John Lennon’s peace, love and occasionally anger-laden album Imagine and, in particular, the much-admired title track.

This wasn’t so much the untold story of the making of a classic album as a fascinating addendum to an iconic story which had already been told in the companion film released by Lennon, Yoko Ono and director Steve Gebhardt in 1972, and fleshed out even more in Andrew Solt’s tribute Gimme Some Truth."

2018-11: Um relato dos Beatles na India

Citando:
"IN 1968 the shockwaves from the Beatles trip to India to visit Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the founder of transcendental meditation, reverberated around the world. The Fab Four were not the only celebrities to make the trip to the sparsely constructed ashram overlooking the River Ganges. Actress Mia Farrow, Beach Boy Mike Love and folk singer Donovan also attended but the Beatles were far and away the most famous."
(...)
"Maharishi asked George to tell Deepak the real story and he revealed the Beatles were asked to leave because members of their party were using drugs and alcohol.

The topic turned to the Beatles' Ed Sullivan Show appearance, during which no crime was reported in the USA.

Maharishi exclaimed, "When I heard this, I knew the Beatles were angels on Earth... It doesn't matter what John said or did, I could never be upset with angels." George then broke down and wept.

Later, George phoned Deepak and said: "A huge karmic baggage has been lifted from me, because I didn't want to lie.""

Citando:

"“I was too far in,” Chapman told the board. “I do remember having the thought of, ‘Hey, you have got the album now. Look at this, he signed it, just go home.’ But there was no way I was just going to go home.”

As in previous parole hearings, Chapman went into detail about the shooting and his regret over the “senseless” act. Chapman claimed he sought notoriety and felt no animosity for Lennon, even though he loaded his gun with more lethal hollow-point bullets.

“I secured those bullets to make sure he would be dead,” he said. “It was immediately after the crime that I was concerned that he did not suffer.”"
