I would have loved seeing John on something like David Letterman although I don’t think he would have played along as say a Ringo but you never know.

It's obvious that John really liked Howard Cosell. He seemed very happy this evening. Normally Lennon is inscrutable during interviews, but here you can tell he genuinely enjoyed the chat. Hard to believe that in six years time, almost to the day of this interview, he would be murdered. And Cosell, of all people, would be the first on ABC to announce his death live on air -- and during another Monday night football game, no less. Uncanny.

Later he spent a lot of time down in their house in Palm Beach, Florida and even spent months away from Yoko in a house in Bermuda.

Pop culture is mind blowing. In '74 these two '60s icons are talking sports on national tv, name dropping the Beatles and Ronald Reagan. It's then being shown 21 years later in 1995, by two sports/media icons of the '70s and '80s. And now, 45 years after the first broadcast and 24 years after the second, the world can see both again along with hearing about all those pop culture icons and discuss their legacies and how they all intersected over the decades. This is KZbin and the Internet at their best.

Howard is great interviewer. Doesn't talk fast, asks good questions and listens to the person because he loved his job. Ya know.....despite all the bad things people say against John, he had a genuine good side and could be really funny. He had that sarcastic wit sometimes when dealing with dodo bird interviewers but then he can turn around and be endearing. In old interviews he liked America and wanted to make this place his home. He said in the U.K. when growing up he watched the old movies we showed e.g. Doris Day and Rock Hudson and others. There wasn't anything good to watch on t.v. from there. He listened mostly to the musicians over here. He liked how things were here and just wanted to hop over the pond making this his home. I know nothing can be done now but he didn't deserve to be gunned down in cold blood by a back shooter. I'm sorry I shouldn't mention it. I'd rather think of all the times he made us smile, laugh and dwell on his good attributes. This impromptu interview was neat to watch. I was almost 12 but I remember people not liking Howard Cosell because he made a goof, but don't we all. John sounded great here and I enjoyed him talking shop with H,C, about football. He looks real relaxed and happy.

mikemoair I'm not a political person but out of all that I knew about having being born in '62 and learning about them as I got older I loved Reagan the best mainly for the type of man he was. A gentleman, mature, considerate, respectful, polite, intelligent, no sordid scandals, he really did love our country and took the position seriously. I know others have their qualms but while he was President I had no cause to feel unsafe for our nation. He was governor of my home state. I guess I appreciated his genuine nature and he had a great sense of humour even after Hinckley tried to assassinate him, he quipped a few funny lines to his body guard when he shoved him in the limo and to Nancy at the hospital. I wish he were here now to sort out this mess. He's the only President I trusted.

John Lennon looked more relaxed, healthy and sociable and was happy to collaborate with fellow big name musicans during his so called lost weekend. I sometimes wish he'd stayed lost but he needed Yoko and even said he hoped to go first as he wouldn't know how to survive without her.

This is a nice interview. There is a longer one with John and Howard Cosell from around the same period. I think it was a radio interview. It's on KZbin. John grew up in post war Britain. The war had been won but it had to be paid for. Economically, times were hard. Austerity was the prevailing policy and rationing of essential items didn't end until the mid-fifties. Britain was rather drab and dreary. The youth looked to the USA as the great beacon of prosperity and excitement. (John Mahoney - Frasier's Martin Crane, born in the same year as John, emigrated to the U.S. and basically became an American). Add in Elvis and the rock and roll phenomenon to the mix and John was hooked. Where he differed from the other Beatles, who also were swept along with the same enthusiasm for America and rock and roll, was that John was treated very badly by the English tabloid press. When they weren't setting him up for a drugs bust they were deriding, with barely concealed racism, his relationship with Yoko. So John fled to America. While the other Beatles were content to visit, John wanted to make it his home (in spite of Nixon's goons trying to kick him out for political reasons). And herein lies the tragedy. If he had stayed in England, or if he had maintained a peripatetic lifestyle, the lowlife who murdered him wouldn't have had such easy access to him. But everyone knew he lived in the Dakota building, where anyone with a grudge and a perverted desire to steal another man's fame, could hang out and wait for his moment.

Everyone wants to talk about “Lennon’s faults” or his shortcomings. Or for that matter anyones else’s. And here’s what I say. Talk about your own! Deal with them! Until you become perfect, shut up about how someone else falls short. Except for the fact that if you were perfect you wouldn’t EVER harp on anyones shortcomings.

@Mark Teena yep i agree McCartney had much more stable youth and it shows. However, how can the 70s be the “downfall” of John when he started that decade on fire with singles like “Instant Karma” and his two all time solo albums “Plastic Ono Band” and “Imagine”? And then ended the decade taking the time to be the father he always wanted to be and releasing his comeback album while rediscovering his muse for music? I guess you’re referring to the mid 70s? or Lost weekend but even that period was very active and fruitful musically speaking
