Jonathan Cott met John Lennon in 1968 and was friends with him and Yoko Ono until John's death in 1980. He has kept in touch with Yoko since that time, and is one of the small group of writers who understands her profoundly positive influence on Lennon. This deeply personal book recounts the course of those friendships over the decades and provides an intimate look at two of the most astonishing cultural figures of our time. And what Jonathan Cott has to say and tell will be found nowhere else.

JONATHAN COTT is a contributing editor at Rolling Stone and has written for the The New York Times and The New Yorker. He is the author of more than sixteen books including Dylan (a biography), Conversations with Glenn Gould, Stockhausen: Conversations with the Composer, and Back to a Shadow in the Night: Music Writings and Interviews—1968-2001 and is the co-editor of The Ballad of John and Yoko. He lives in New York City.
A deeply personal memoir of time spent with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Cott's account begins with his first meeting of the world-famous couple in their basement flat in London, as a graduate student on a Fulbright where he was also serving as the "London editor" of a small rock magazine named Rolling Stone. The next day he was invited by Lennon to watch the recording of "Glass Onion" and "Birthday" at Abbey Road Studios. A connection was formed that lasted until Lennon's death - with Cott formally interviewing him again days before he was killed. Cott has also remained close friends with Yoko One. It is a fascinating and intimate reminiscence filled with Cott's insights as a cultural critic and journalist along with portions of the 1968 and 1980 interviews which will be transcribed within our book for the first time.

"Jonathan Cott's story begins one day in 1968 when he went to interview John Lennon and Yoko Ono in their London flat. Later that evening Lennon invited Cott--then the London correspondent for fledgling music magazine Rolling Stone--to sit in on a recording session at Abbey Road Studios. From this professional introduction a friendship was born, one that continued even as Lennon and Ono moved to New York. It was Cott who interviewed them on December 5, 1980, about their album Double Fantasy. This would turn out to be Lennon's last major interview. DAYS THAT I'LL REMEMBER is a unique and necessary addition to the canon of Beatles books. A celebration of two remarkable lives that touched Cott's own in countless ways, it is an insider's memoir of a seismic musical, cultural and political time. In this full-bodied account of their relationship, Cott pairs his own story with his many interviews with the couple. While most did appear in Rolling Stone, they did so in shortened form, and the full-length versions presented here contain previously unpublished and revelatory material. He also features an exclusive recent interview with Ono, as well as images from her private archive." [publisher copy] "Rangy and revealing interview/conversations between Rolling Stone journalist Cott and John Lennon and Yoko Ono. The pleasure is in hearing their voices, for it seems that the material is verbatim from recordings. It starts during that fraught period when the Beatles were breaking up but still producing game-changing music, and Lennon and Ono were coming in for much more than their share of grief: for their naïve and ludic ways, the experimental nature of their music, the dissolution of the band and the passing of a brilliant cultural moment. Cott engages with Ono's art, which could be challenging, and embraces its spirit of mindfulness and mirth while exploring how she managed to turn the vitriol spewed her way into a positive energy. But it is Lennon who commands the stage here, holding forth on the music he and Ono were making, bridling at the disservice of the press, explaining the bed-ins, the nude album cover, the deportation battles, the struggles with writing songs ('I always think there's nothing there, it's shit, it's not good') and the troubles of fame. Cott keeps the proceedings fluid and conversational, provides rare, raw and insightful comments from two colorful art personalities, Lennon and Ono as open and naked as on the cover of Two Virgins."--Kirkus Reviews. Pristine paperback w/sharp corners & crisp edges, a square binding w/no creases in spine & no jacket as issued. Artikel-Nr. RUB1745
