In 1969 with John Lennon: I Met the Walrus

I met the walrus hand gun flowers john lennon

I was thrilled this morning to find this incredible video on Fazed... it's an animated short that couples beautifully surreal visuals with the audio recording of a guerilla interview with John Lennon, by then-14-year-old Jerry Levitan.

It spins and spirals, but Lennon's voice, with his comforting accent and pleas for peace seem accentuated into blissful scripture by the addition of the mesmerizing visuals.

A hypnotic, breathtaking animation, powerfully coupled to words. How many more speeches could be heightened with this type of video?



Perhaps there's still some bad blood over John Lennon, especially in this time of feverish patriotism and war-mongering... to those of us that feel the war in the Middle East is unnecessary and corrupt, Lennon's words ring out true, despite the fact that he said them almost 40 years ago.

Wow that's amazing, those visuals are really powerful... I've never saw that video before, and Lennon's words really could have been spoken yesterday.

Triple B, thanks for watching. Incredible, isn't it? I wish I had an animator to follow me around all day, giving my words a little more oomph!

Wow, that really is quite powerful isn't it? I've never seen that video before either. The term "hypnotic" really is a spot on way to describe it.
