Days That I’ll Remember: Spending Time with John Lennon and Yoko Ono

A decades-long friend of John Lennon and Yoko Ono presents an intimate account of the couple's relationship that reveals the profoundly positive influence of Ono on Lennon and the ways they inspired each other creatively before the latter's death. The author, as London correspondent for Rolling Stone magazine, met John Lennon in 1968 and remained friends with him and Yoko Ono until John's death in 1980. He has kept in touch with Yoko since that time, and is one of the few writers who understand her relationship with Lennon. This deeply personal book recounts the course of these friendships over the decades and provides an intimate look at two of the most astonishing cultural figures of our time. The book contains the many interviews the author had with the couple; most appeared in Rolling Stone originally, but in shortened form. Here, they appear in their previously unpublished full-length versions, including Lennon's last interview on December 5, 1980.
