John Lennon Bed-In Interview With Timothy Leary Unearthed: On Marijuana And Peace In 1969 (VIDEO)
It's common knowledge the 1969 Vietnam anthem "Give Peace A Chance" includes the voices of John Lennon, Yoko Ono, and one Timothy Leary. The couple invited the "pied piper of psychedelic 60's" to Montreal to record the track as part of their bed-in protest series, those famous week-long demonstrations that weren't always taken seriously by the press, but remain the source of some of the most iconic Lennon/Ono imagery.
This morning Boing Boing let us know of a newly discovered artifact from the event: a recording of a conversation between Leary, Leary's wife Rosemary, Lennon and Ono that Leary's biographer Michael Horowitz (who happens to be Winona Ryder's dad) recently found "buried in his personal archives." The interview, which Leary gifted to Horowitz in 1984 as thanks for his work, has likely never before been published, according to a statement Horowitz made to the Timothy Leary Archives.
