JOHN LENNON - WE ALL SHINE ON: JOHN, YOKO, & ME - HARDCOVER - BOOK
About We All Shine On
A personal and revealing look at the last ten years of John Lennonâs life and his partnership with Yoko Ono, written by the friend who knew them best
In 1972, Elliot Mintz installed a red light in his bedroom in Laurel Canyon. When it started flashing, it meant that either John Lennon or Yoko Onoâor sometimes bothâwere calling him. Which they did almost every day for nearly ten years, engaging Mintz in hours-long late-night phone conversations that all but consumed him for the better part of a decade.
In We All Shine On, Mintzâa former radio and television host in Los Angelesârecounts the story of how their unlikely friendship began and where it led him over the years, revealing the ups and downs of a wild, touching, heartbreaking, and sometimes shocking relationship. Mintz takes readers inside John and Yokoâs inner sanctums, including their expansive seventh-floor apartment in New Yorkâs fabled Dakota building, where Mintz was something of a semipermanent fixture, ultimately becoming the Lennonsâ closest and most trusted confidant. Mintz was with John and Yoko through creative highs, relationship and private challenges, fascinating interactions with the other former Beatles, and the happiest moment of their lives together, the birth of their son, Sean. He was also by Yokoâs side during the aftermath of Johnâs assassination on the doorstep of the Dakotaânot merely a witness to it all, but a key figure in the drama of John and Yokoâs extraordinary lives.
Â
We All Shine On is a must-read for Beatles and Lennon fans, offering an up close and intimate view of one of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century, as well as one of the most fascinating marriages. But itâs also a relationship story that just about everyone can relate to, a tale about partnership, loyalty, and trust, and most of all, the lasting legacy of a true and deep friendship.
