From 1972: Hendrik Hertzberg finds out why John and Yoko love New York. NewYorkerArchive
John Lennon Yoko OnoSome good local news, for a change: John Lennon and his wife and co‑worker, Yoko Ono, have become, for most practical purposes, New Yorkers.
“I think all of us went through a big depression in the last year and a half, all over the world,” John said. “We think there’s something in the air that’s going to pick us all up again. You know, New Yorka fantastic place. Yoko is a New Yorker. She spent fifteen years here before she met me, and she used to go on about New York to me all the time, but I had never really seen it.
We said that the talk of riches reminded us of a recent song of John’s, “Imagine,” which asks the listener, among other things, to “imagine no possessions.” We asked the Lennons how they liked their new neighborhood, and Yoko said, “It’s so good! It’s like a quaint little town.” “We stand out more in Britain than in America as a mixed-marriage couple,” John said. “Although there is race hatred in America, you see more different-colored people in America than in Britain.”“Yes, there are all shades, all different kinds of descent,” he said. “In England, everybody south of Calais is a Wog, and that includes the French and the Italians.”
