I saw this gorgeous video a few days ago via No Impact Man’s blog. The soundtrack is an interview done by 14 year old Beatle fan Jerry Levitan after he snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in 1969. The animation has just been added recently.

In their discussion, Jerry tries to turn the conversation to Beatle gossip, but John turns it into a discussion of peace and becoming non-violent ourselves so that we can live non-violence. “Work on the good bit of you” is his advice.

I especially love his response to Jerry’s question about “messages” in Beatles songs: “Everything you hear is there, it’s all there ... the same as in a flower, everything’s there. It just is, and if you look long enough, all answers are in it. It’s the same with the music.”

Hope you enjoy hearing John’s voice as much I as did.
