In 1969 a determined 14-year-old Beatles fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto during his famous Vietnam protest bed-in with Yoko One, & convinced John to do an interview about peace. Four minutes of this exclusive 40-minute interview, in which John speaks candidly on war, politics, what it means to be a peacenik, the scandalous Two Virgins album, & the supposed subliminal messages in his music, is the basis for the recent 2008 Academy Award nominated short film, I Met The Walrus. Here for the first time in book form is Jerry's full contextualized & illustrated account of his experience with John, with all new illustrations from the film's acclaimed illustrator James Braithwaite, never-before-seen candid photographs of John & Yoko, & a DVD keepsake featuring exclusive video footage & the complete 40-minute soundtrack of the interview with John. A complete annotated typescript of the interview is also included plus Jerry's memorabilia from that day
- notes from John & Yoko, drawings & doodles from John & more. The result is a spell-binding package, an immortalized up-close one-on-one moment with John, a tribute to his extraordinary voice, boundless wit & timeless message.
