The one and only John Lennon! When they made that guy, they broke the mold. I'm so happy to have spent time on this planet while he was here. And his three friends as well. Beatles forever!!!!
Unpopular opinion but Walls And Bridges is my favorite Lennon album. It has his funkiest stuff as well as “#9 Dream” which is just majestically beautiful.
'Bless You' is my favorite Lennon solo song, so right off the bat I have a very soft spot for Walls and Bridges. Overall though, Plastic Ono Band is still my favorite Lennon album
11:19 so cool to hear John talk about his Rickenbacker and he's right they are great guitars and it is best to try one out and see for yourself!! Awesome 👍👍
12:54 "IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THE JEANS REVOLUTION BUT YOU FEEL LIKE A _GEEK_ IN A BUSINESS SUIT" I guess John was getting tired of repeating that ad over and over again in a normal voice
That humor is just one of the many things I loved about John. His humor, his honesty, his fearlessness, his reality, his rudeness, his love for all things right. I miss him everyday. I hope I can meet him someday on the other side... ❤
Love you always. I planted a tree in your honor. On my property. It was about 3 ft. When I planted it on the hill top. It is so strong and so tall now. It covers the hillside and protects all who sit under it. Thank you brother John..
@Stones77 : My pleasure ! Nice to see more comments on Part 2, which I'll assume means most folks are just finishing both parts. The download numbers still show twice as many for Part 1, which I usually read as "people are just too busy to follow thru on the whole thing" . . . which is sad cuz a lot of the best moments are there !
Thank you for posting this... sheer genius! I was a kid in L.A. at the time... I don't remember if I tried to call in, but knowing me, I probably did! Your graphics are great, btw.
Like a few musicians these days I realise now that John would've done very well with his own music show or even podcasts where he talks on the issues of the day.
WOW! He was a Natural. Even though it would be WAY below what he was (Musical/Songwriting Genius/Artist), he could've easily become a Legendary Shock Jock Radio Personality. He would've been A Lot more "Clever/Witty" than Howard Stern.
@secondeagle: @secondeagle ; Hmm, that's so short . . . and I was working with sources I hadn't prepared from the beginning of course, that's all there was. I believe it includes the key line "loved like this before", making it possible to Google perhaps . . . now that it's on the tip of my mind !! I'll look into it & report back. Plus, the timing is more like 2:40, so now we can click to that . . . .
Gee, I should've figured a comment like this was coming eventually.Judgemental and uninformed, really. There's not generally a lot of "tripping" on cocaine,altho' it's well documented that he'd partied thru the night up to the 6:am broadcast. I don't hear "rude" either, more like trying to keep up with the fast-paced format, & rather genuine w/ most folks. & any fan who says "worst album" instead of, say,"weaker". . is too supercilious for me. . plus, Walls & Bridges is just different & fine.
@lennonista9 : Wow L9 ! . . . It was gettin' weird how 183 folks supposedly checked out part 1, and then only 126 had followed thru w/ part 2. But not only do you comment so nicely after obviously taking in "the whole show", but you take time to mention the carefully crafted visuals as well. I'm apparently doubly pleased.
Why would they? It was broadcast in English by English speaking people in an English speaking country. I speak German but it never crossed my mind why it wasn't translated into German.
@Tom x. Y. you ask that so briefly and bluntly like you have absolutely no idea, when the content or the comments would have given you several clues .... why were you even seeing this, then watching it, then bothering to comment ?
John sounds like he's tripping on cocaine. He's not nearly as funny as he thinks he is, and a bit rude to callers. Plus, WALLS AND BRIDGES arguably one of his worst albums
It's no accident that some people become stars. Dude was born to be a superstar.
The one and only John Lennon! When they made that guy, they broke the mold. I'm so happy to have spent time on this planet while he was here. And his three friends as well. Beatles forever!!!!
Guy had an unstoppable wit. Just amazing.
John was effing hilarious!!!!! His humour over the years, even unintentionally, was too funny! Classically English and classically john.
Unpopular opinion but Walls And Bridges is my favorite Lennon album. It has his funkiest stuff as well as “#9 Dream” which is just majestically beautiful.
I love Walls and Bridges too.
No. 9 Dream never gets old !!
Also, Steel and Glass 🙂
'Bless You' is my favorite Lennon solo song, so right off the bat I have a very soft spot for Walls and Bridges. Overall though, Plastic Ono Band is still my favorite Lennon album
john reading those commercials..just hilarious
His Tobias spots here are by far some of THE funniest sh*t I've ever heard. The guy was unreal.
GOD I loved this.......I even tried calling in that morning, but of course the lines were totally swamped. Thanks for posting this!
He was so funny totally love this, he sounds like Robin Williams in Good morning Vietnam doing his D.J. comedy
11:19 so cool to hear John talk about his Rickenbacker and he's right they are great guitars and it is best to try one out and see for yourself!! Awesome 👍👍
Cool. John even mentions Bhaskar Menon @10:51, Capitol records label president at the time. John is great as a dj.
Loved this.
12:54 "IF YOU'RE TIRED OF THE JEANS REVOLUTION BUT YOU FEEL LIKE A _GEEK_ IN A BUSINESS SUIT" I guess John was getting tired of repeating that ad over and over again in a normal voice
He even read "PAGE 2... ohhh so this is another scene, hm."
😂😂😂😂 this is hilarious
That was fun to hear.
What a great comedian he was
I love it when he mentions his old black Rickenbacker guitar...
You can tell John's with May Pang here - he's got his sense of fun and humor back! He was back to himself! Feeling free as a bird!
Very true. Yoko supressed him so much, 1974 was probably the last time he was truly happy.
Fantastic....classic Lennon.Thanks for posting.
Hahaha this is so ahead of the time😂 everyone’s (and ads) are so stiff and cheesy and all the humor goes over their heads
John would have been a natural comedy DJ! Could you imagine him up against Howard Stern??
As good as Howard was in the 80's & 90's, Lennon would've been more Quick-Witted & Clever than Howard.
That humor is just one of the many things I loved about John. His humor, his honesty, his fearlessness, his reality, his rudeness, his love for all things right. I miss him everyday. I hope I can meet him someday on the other side... ❤
😅😂😮😢😊🎉

I can't wrap my mind around anyone not listening to both parts. I'd like to experience more of DJ John, if available. Ty again, for these.
That’s the real John Lennon!
Thank you for posting this... sheer genius! I was a kid in L.A. at the time... I don't remember if I tried to call in, but knowing me, I probably did! Your graphics are great, btw.
This is epic! Thank you!
The guy calling in for What’s The New Mary Jane when it was a bootleg at the time is incredible.
And you timed the visuals SO WELL TOO! VERY COOL!
I've got a desire to buy from Tobias clothes. Their pitchman is quite convincing.
it's funny that they have john lennon doing commercials lol. he must have been sick of Tobias suits or whatever
Like a few musicians these days I realise now that John would've done very well with his own music show or even podcasts where he talks on the issues of the day.
2:52 Jon Wizardo!!! Thanks for posting this.
2:58 Gotta love bootleg albums!!!!
8:25 John forgets his cue when he's on the air XD lol
WOW! He was a Natural. Even though it would be WAY below what he was (Musical/Songwriting Genius/Artist), he could've easily become a Legendary Shock Jock Radio Personality. He would've been A Lot more "Clever/Witty" than Howard Stern.

JOHN COULD HAVE DONE ANYTHING HE WANTED TO DO
Gee, I should've figured a comment like this was coming eventually.Judgemental and uninformed, really.

This reminds me of the stuff around "The Who Sell Out". John has a nice spin on it.
P.S. Great graphics! LOL!
WOW!!!!!!!! Where did you ever find this? Toooooo cool!
Wild
13:00 Omg hahahaha.

BBC JOHN
Lennon being funny!
Fred Zimmerman ! 🤣
John Lennon that sounds like a DJ
LOL I wanted to hear some Zeppelin !
Hilarious...
@secondeagle, Andy Kim - Rock Me Gently
This is great!!! Does an "unscoped" version of this exist?
Exactly! I feel a little like I'm being manipulated with a false narrative being pushed here
This could have been a great gig for Lennon if he wanted to go underground and just be a DJ! ;-)
Nope . . . cuz I can't Imagine Howard up against HIM !!
This whole thing is one big AFTRA union violation. I hope fines were imposed!
Shut up.
Radio Salesman....there's no future in it my boy.
Lol
Porque no traducen esto al castellano..?
Why would they? It was broadcast in English by English speaking people in an English speaking country. I speak German but it never crossed my mind why it wasn't translated into German.
I had a Big Ben clock when I was a kid. I hated it it was annoying
wtf is this?
@Tom x. Y.
you ask that so briefly and bluntly like you have absolutely no idea, when the content or the comments would have given you several clues ....
why were you even seeing this, then watching it, then bothering to comment ?
He might be funny, but as dad to Julian and wife Cynthia at the time he was a horrible person.
John sounds like he's tripping on cocaine. He's not nearly as funny as he thinks he is, and a bit rude to callers. Plus, WALLS AND BRIDGES arguably one of his worst albums
You have a right to your opinion. Screwed, as it is!
@Jingo Rex, what a sour, negative comment.
He’s HILARIOUS and Walls and bridges is a great album
You’re wrong I want to fight you
A bad take...
🐞
