John Lennon the Doorman
This is a repost in honor of what would
have been John Lennon's 70th birthday, October 9, 2010.
In late 1966, the Beatles had by this time quit touring
forever so they could focus on moving their studio work even
further. But on November 27, John Lennon took time out to
play the Doorman in a Peter Cook and Dudley Moore's BBC-TV
comedy show.
It was the first public appearance of Lennon wearing his new
trademark spectacles. The very next day, he was back to
being the rock musician again as the Beatles recorded takes 2,
3, and 4 of Strawberry Fields Forever.
