Q: "Have you ever considered suicide?"

John Lennon: "Oh, yes. As a teenager, even, I think everybody sort of thinks about it. I don't remember standing on the edge of a cliff, I've never been that near. But I've considered it. Most of us have been through that. Most have been through things with mothers and fathers; most of us have been through something with religion, or not with religion, whatever; most of us have been isolated or been in love; most of us remembered things and most of us have wondered what love is, you know."

Q: "What is it?"

John Lennon: (singing) "Love is real, real is love..."

Q: "Lovely."

“Bohemian Rhapsody got lots of radio play when it was released” factoid actually just statistical error. Bohemian Rhapsody was not popular with radio stations. Kenny Everett, who stole the tape and played it 14 times in two days, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

John Lennon, speaking about the theory behind Arthur Janov's 'primal therapy'. Lennon underwent primal therapy with Janov in 1970. Lennon was interviewed by radio DJ and friend of the Beatles, Kenny Everett, at his home on 27 March 1971, where the pair spoke about the album Plastic Ono Band and life following the Beatles' breakup.

JOHN: There's lots of things that you- your mind blocks off memories from childhood, because when you're a child you can only take so much pain or whatever it is, so, when something happens you tend to block it off and not feel it and… it almost in a way literally blocks off part of your body.

EVERETT: But that's the bit it doesn't want to know about.

JOHN: Yeah but it's like not wanting to know about going to the toilet or having a bath, but if you don't do it for a long time it accumulates and emotions are the same, you accumulate them over the years and they come out in other forms.

EVERETT: What, like violence or something?

JOHN: Well, violence or... you know, baldness, or short-sightedness, something like that. That's part of his theory. It's pretty revolutionary, I think, the idea that it's… from the experience I had there it seemed pretty valid as a good basis for that theory.

JOHN: And so what you do is go back, or find a way of going back to those emotions you've locked off and you remember things you didn't remember, and experience that emotion because it's still there. It's like taking a diarrhoea pill or something... and it all comes out, baby!

"Ooh, me spine's turned to custard."

Boom radio has broadcast an 80th birthday tribute to Kenny Everett and it's a lot of fun. Plenty of bursts of enthusiasm for his faves Harry Nilsson, ELO and Queen, and a tiny shout out to Paul McCartney on his 38th birthday.

This was one of my favourite parts of the Magic Years VHS tapes and I don't see it shared around as much as the other parts. So, if you've never seen, then please enjoy...

Roger's peak heart rate matches mine when I'm on my spin bike at max wattage, so I can only imagine what it reaches when he's playing for an entire concert 🥁❤️👀
