John Lennon Said He Didn't Want To Be Dead Hero In His Final Interview (Top Story)
. The ex-Beatle spoke to Rolling Stone journalist Jonathan Cott on December 5, 1980, and although excerpts of the conversation have been released in the past, it's the first time the entire interview has been published. Lennon, who was 40 when he died, talked about stardom and being a father, while saying he had "plenty of time" to achieve his ambitions. "Critics only like people when they're on their way up � I can't be on the way up again. What they want is dead heroes like Sid Vicious and James Dean," He told Cott. "I have no interest in being a dead f**king hero � so forget them." - RockAAA.com is an official news provider for the Day in Rock. Preview and Purchase John Lennon CDs |
