WZMF was actually an FM station. Here is a little history on it. The 98.3 frequency was home for many years to WZMF, which signed on the air in July 1966. At its inception, the station aired a "middle of the road" format. WZMF was located in a small house on Shady Lane in Menomonee Falls. WZMF's pop music programming eventually became more experimental, and the station evolved into a freeform progressive rock format by October 1968, one of the first stations to do so in the midwest. The station was moderately successful with the format for the next eleven years, pushing rival WTOS into a different format and staying competitive with leading rocker WQFM. When WISN-FM switched from beautiful music to rock as WLPX in January 1978, immediately becoming a ratings success, WZMF began to tighten their format, amid protests from the station's on-air staff, and ratings dropped. WZMF was sold and went silent on March 23, 1979 after playing its last 3 songs, "Not to Touch the Earth" by The Doors, "American Pie" by Don McLean, and the National Anthem by Jimi Hendrix.
"It was a pleasure", "Thanks for your questions." Not a hint of his typical sarcasm, this is pathetic. The first and only time Lennon withheld his true self, I wondered who this was from the start. "Was it a bad John Lennon Impressionist?" This person sounds so nice, so civil, so compliant. Nothing at all caustic or venomous like the 'authentic' John we've come to know. Then I had it handed to me by his own admission: "I'm being an awfully good boy right now because I'm begging for my Green Card....write in lovelies so I can come and go as I please." (Please Nixon). "If it works, it'll be a thrill of a release. I'll be able to slate everything and everyone in sight again. Be a total twat."
His 'twat' phase was this year of 1974. Getting thrown out of the Troubadour club for drunken hecklin amongst other pissed up activities. He's obviously worried about his green card issue here, after behaving badly, plus his last album didn't get a great reception, split from Yoko etc. Sounds to me like he's trying to get his shit together. Its not the same John as in the Rolling Stones interview 4 years previous is it? Life circumstances effects all us, including him.
@@rodog9465 By the time Walls and Bridges was done and came out he was mostly sober. He was hitting the bottle hard after Mind Games upon arriving in California while living with Ringo and constantly hanging out with Harry Nilsson and Keith Moon and them drunken lot. He got so out of it that he left the house, got his own place with May Pang and sobered up. The other three stayed drunk. One eventually got sober, one never did and slipped into anonymity and the other died at just 32.
The pure sunlight just floods in when Lennon talks.
I'll always love him and adore him he really inspires me how to get through life and struggles .
John sounds great

His angry phase was 1970-1971 after primal scream therapy, he was a much calmer person at this time although he drank a lot
