Tommy's interview with Yoko Ono
One summer evening 40 years ago, I spent a week with John Lennon and Yoko Ono at the Bed-In for Peace at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel baby-sitting their daughter Kyoko.
As a teenage Beatle fan, it was thrilling to gain access to the bed-in that became the centre of world media attention at the time.
It was exciting to see Yoko again as we sat down for a one-on-one interview to talk about the Bed-in and the exhibition which opens April 2 and runs until June 21 at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts.
Yoko was charming, none the worse for wear and she looks great. The woman is as determined as ever to achieve wold peace. Her comments about Obama are somewhat enigmatic...She seems....well, never mind what she seems...check out the interview:
