Lennon Reveals: The St Regis Series Ep #1. "I'm Doing What You're Doing"
Welcome to the first series of this season, Lennon Reveals: The St Regis Series, where we dive deep into one of the most fascinating and underappreciated interviews John Lennon ever gave: the St. Regis interview from September 1971. It is as wide-ranging and entertaining as Lennon Remembers but even more insightful. Dr. Duncan Driver joins me as co-host to unpack the many layers of this conversation. This is part one of a ten-part series. In this conversation, John revisits many of the themes from Lennon Remembers, yet he also reveals layers of emotion and vulnerability that aren’t immediately apparent in the Rolling Stone Interview. This interview challenges the notion that Lennon had fully moved on from The Beatles, showing instead how deeply invested he remained in those relationships, even as he sought new beginnings with Yoko. It sheds light on Lennon’s need for security and love, his ongoing emotional ties to his former bandmates, and his struggles to reconcile his past with his present.The St. Regis interview reminds us that Lennon’s story is richer and more nuanced than the popular myth. It offers valuable insights into his loyalty, emotional depth, and artistry. It’s a must-listen for anyone looking to understand Lennon, the Beatles, and the dynamics that shaped their world in 1971.Podcast host: Diana EricksonIf you have questions or comments, email us at @onesweetdreampodcast@gmail.com.IG:@onesweetdreampocastX: @onesweetdreamdiThanks to Duncan Driver and Halle Ryan!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
