Sorry for the lack of posts...I have a bit of Spring/Summer fever at the moment. Anyway...I saw Yoko Ono in Soho a few weeks ago. Since then I haven't been able to stop thinking about John and Yoko's appearances on The Dick Cavett Show from the early 70's. I've always loved those episodes and they are now available on DVD...so I've been watching them again this week. I love John's sense of humor, their chain smoking, their honesty, their politics and their hand-holding. John even gives props to Jerry Lee! I saw re-runs of the episodes for the first time on late-night television when I was around 11 or 12 and they had a huge impact on me at the time. I have always felt that they had the ideal relationship...the kind that most people are searching for...soul mates and collaborators.

In the first episode, Yoko mentions an art exhibit she is having in Syracuse on John's birthday. Here is a bit of home movie they shot that day...notice Ringo, Phil Spector and Allen Ginsberg.
