Despite the flip manner on the air, Lennon is, when in the quiet of his hotel suite or with friends, a gracious host who does not demand to be the center of attention in the manner of so many rock stars and is exceptionally candid about his life -- the ups and the downs. Unlike many that I've interviewed, he doesn't try, even subtly, to skirt issues or set limits on the subjects of the discussion.

Since both Harrison and McCartney are panning their own solo tours, the talk about a Beatles reunion has, for the moment, died down. For the record, however, the situation is much the same as a year ago. Lennon stil thinks it's possible, but no one has set any machinery into effect.

"The whole thing is kind of funny," he said. "All the Beatles reunion stories were during a period when none of us were really communicating for one reason or another. Now, compared to that period, we see a lot of each other and talk a lot together, and there are no stories." In fact, John had spent some time with Ringo earlier in the day.

-- from the Sept. 29, 1974 L.A. Times

Accept people for what they are -- completely unacceptable.
