1:12:02
Then what kind of protest did you make?
1:12:03
- You said I don't know what this...
- It is an advertising campaign for peace.
1:12:08
- Can you understand that?
- No, I can't.
1:12:09
A very big ad
campaign for peace.
1:12:11
I think it's vulgar
and self-aggrandizing.
1:12:13
Are you advertising
John Lennon or peace?
1:12:15
Do you want nice,
middle-class gestures for peace?
1:12:18
And intellectual manifestos...
1:12:20
written by a lot half-witted intellectuals?
1:12:23
And nobody reads them. That's the trouble
with the peace movement.
1:12:28
I'm someone who admired you very much.
1:12:30
I'm sorry you liked
the old mop-tops, dear...
1:12:32
and you thought
I was very satirical and witty.
1:12:35
And you liked Hard Day's Night, love,
but I've grown up.
1:12:37
- But you obviously haven't.
- Have you?
1:12:40
Yes, folks.
1:12:56
John Lennon stopped
during his busy peace campaign today...
1:12:59
to give an interview in which
he spoke candidly about drugs.
1:13:02
It's no good us preaching
at people and saying:
1:13:05
"Don't take them,"
because that doesn't work.
1:13:07
It's like the church telling you
not to drink or not to have sex...
1:13:09
when you're a kid. There's nothing
on earth that's going to do it.
1:13:12
But if people take any notice
of what we say...
1:13:14
we say we've been
through the drug scene, man...
1:13:16
and there is nothing like being straight.
1:13:19
But you need hope,
and hope is something...
1:13:22
that you have to build up within yourself.
1:13:27
London police today confiscated
a number of erotic lithographs...
1:13:31
by pop musician and artist, John Lennon.
1:13:35
A local district court will rule...
1:13:37
as to whether the art is pornographic...
1:13:39
and whether or not
it can displayed publicly.
1:13:43
But even with drawings and things.
I have been talking to Yoko.
1:13:46
And she convinced me that anything
I draw or write...
1:13:49
is just as important communication-wise.
1:13:50
I shouldn't just show it to friends.
1:13:52
I should put everything out.
