"I Used To Dress Tough" Lennon Admits He Was A Fake Teddy boy | 1975 Interview | CLEANED-UP AUDIO

EddyThe BeatlesJohn LennonYouth
1970s1975InterviewRareyoutube

In this RARE 1975 French interview, John Lennon reflects on his youth in Liverpool, the reality of his "tough" persona, and the cultural legacy of The Beatles. Recorded during the promotion of his 'Rock 'n' Roll' album, John offers a candid and often surprising look back at his life and the movement that defined a generation. I've cut out the very annoying French Translation that was very loud in the left audio channel and had to fade the image to avoid the video from being blocked completely. As far as I can tell this is the only version available on YouTube...
