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.

Encore: The Cleave Series: How Did George Harrison Live in 1966? Pt 2
In part two of Cleave's profile of George Harrison, Diana, and Duncan explore the second half of the interview, which includes topics such as George's home, his home life with his wife Pattie, his thoughts on war, the old guard, and religion.
In this interview, George is amusingly blunt and endearingly earnest. Originally posted in the Evening Standard, these interviews provide rare, intimate glimpses of the Beatles in 1966.
