I think our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. And I think that’s what I sussed when I was 16 and 12, way down the line. But I expressed it differently all through my life. I think we’re being run by maniacs for maniacal ends. #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[John Lennon @johnlennon]

It’s an amazing jam session track. There’s a funny rhythm in the song. It doesn’t stay on the offbeat. It goes off somewhere but Jim Keltner does some great drumming on it and sort of holds it together so you can still dance to it, although the beat’s very strange. #IMAGINE50

[John Lennon @johnlennon]

Peace is big. War is big business. They like war because it keeps them fat and happy. I’m anti-war, so they’re trying to keep me out of the USA. But I’ll get in because they’ll have to own up in public that they’re against peace. #IMAGINE50 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

Eternal Time Clock, 1965
A wound and ticking clock with the second, minute and hour hands removed. #IMAGINE50 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[George Harrison @GeorgeHarrison]

Wars. They keep putting programmes on about them. There’s about 54 wars happening right now, and even if there’s a lull in one of the 54 wars, they’ll show us the re-runs of the Second World War or Pearl Harbor. #IMAGINE50 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

There’s nothing I like more than to get home at the end of the day & sit next to Yoko & say, ‘Well, we’re together at last.’ Although we may have been holding hands all day, it’s not the same when we’re working or talking to the press. We feel a hundred miles apart by comparison.

[Nicky Hopkins 🎹 @TheNickyHopkins]

"It did work like magic. It was just seven days to do the recordings. Then they took the tracks over to New York and spent two days putting the strings on. You know, you're talking about nine days work for one of the best albums, still, of all time." #IMAGINE50

[John Lennon @johnlennon]

And when she complained to me about it I couldn’t understand what she was talking about. The same kind of thing happened in the studio. She would say to an engineer, ‘I’d like a little more bass’, and they’d look at me and say, ‘What did you say, John?’ #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[John Lennon @johnlennon]

We met this old friend of Yoko's who makes robot musicians, you·know, he has like a music stand with toy violins or little instruments hanging off and you plug it in and they all play by themselves. #IMAGINE50 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[John Lennon @johnlennon]

So we got about 40 of these, like a philharmonic orchestra in the studio and recorded 8 tracks of them, and then 8 tracks of Yoko. And then again me and him were playing, putting on the switches and then we did a jam session with her and the stuff - it was beautiful.#IMAGINE50

[John Lennon @johnlennon]

I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. #IMAGINE50 #TimsTwitterListeningParty

[John Lennon @johnlennon]

It’s rather personal, but I had a definite reason why I smiled at the end, in addition to loving being next to John.

[John Lennon @johnlennon]
