John Lennon. His Final Words On The Beatles' Music - Playboy April 1981

The Beatles' songs defined a generation, and one week before he died, John Lennon was in the process of defining those songs for Playboy.

It was a project that grew out of conversations for the January 1981 Playboy Interview. Enthusiastically, Lennon agreed fore gthe first time in years to go over their songs, one by one, and comment on their origin and impact and the memories associated with them. 

"You're asking about my work, about my life's work", he told the interviewer David Sheff and Playboy Executive Editor G. Barry Golson. "I'm proud of it. Let's get it on the record."

What follows is Lennon talking about much of his major work. We think it's a fitting tribyte to the man and his music.
