Was doing researches for my next tattoo and suddenly decided to practice with the weird guy (no, he’s not going to be my next tattoo).

He’s very easy to draw.

Added some details👇🏻

I am so tickled by this description of Ivan Vaughn (both himself as a character and vis-à-vis John) because it is so unlike anything I have read about him, or John, before! Granted, it's just one guy's opinion, but it raises so many interesting possibilities - like, could later fame influence the memories of some people who knew these guys growing up, causing them to retrospectively ascribe them superhuman qualities (natural leader, creative genius etc etc), while more level-headed others could be like "sure he was interesting, but he was also Just Another Guy, and he could've been influenced by this other cool guy we all knew that you've never heard of!"

But it was Ivan Vaughan who stood out even more to [Peter] Sissons and, he claims, to the school in general. "He was the only other key figure there at the time who I would have thought would make it as some sort of creative personality. He stood out head and shoulders above everybody." The dominating feature of Vaughan's life was "an entirely distinctive sense of humor." This, in turn, was influenced by "The Goon Show," the British radio humor program starring Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, Harry Secombe, and Michael Bentine to which every schoolboy would avidly tune in. But Vaughan's surreal originality extended even beyond that, being, according to Sissons, "some ten or fifteen years ahead of his time." A fatherless boy, one of the many members of the cast surrounding Paul McCartney who had lost a parent, Vaughan one day painted his name in three-foot-high letters across the front of the house while his mother was out. Another time, he arrived at school with, for no apparent reason, the dull appearance of his regulation black shoes having been altered by a thick, vivid coat of canary yellow paint. Later Vaughan employed a more subtle creativity with regard to his footwear: playing truant for days at a time, he would reappear at the Institute with an explanatory note, in his own carefully disguised handwriting, declaring his absence to have been caused by "shoes gone to the menders" —an absolute masterstroke, for what member of the staff would dare question the undreamt tales of poverty and hardship that lay behind such circumstances?

"John Lennon was a highly original character," sums up Peter Sissons. "But in my opinion, much of the outrageousness and unpredictability he displayed later in life came from Ivan Vaughan, and not the other way round."

Notes:

This book doesn't have citations (grr) so it's unclear if this is an interview Salewicz carried out or sourced from elsewhere, but either way the presence of quotation marks indicates that it is the interviewee's original words.

Peter Sisson (d. 2019) is familiar to UK people of a certain age as a BBC News presenter from the 1990s-2000s. He also turned into a bit of a rightwing slime in later life so I wouldn't blame anyone for giving side-eye to his credibility based on that. Fwiw, he doesn't appear to have been completely on this path in the early 80s when this interview was presumably carried out.
