“What happened was we heard the news that morning and, strangely enough, all of us—the three Beatles, friends of John’s—all of us reacted in the same way. Separately. Everyone just went to work that day. All of us. Nobody could stay home with that news. We all had to go to work and be with people we knew. Couldn’t bear it. We just had to keep going. So I went in and did a day’s work in a kind of shock. And as I was coming out of the studio later, there was a reporter, and as we were driving away, he just stuck the microphone in the window and shouted, “What do you think about John’s death?” I had just finished a whole day in shock and I said, “It’s a drag.” I meant drag in the heaviest sense of the word, you know: “It’s a—drag.” But, you know, when you look at that in print, it says, “Yes, it’s a drag.” Matter of fact.”

Immigration
On m’avait dit qu’en Amérique, les rues étaient pavées d’or. Quand je suis arrivé, j’ai découvert trois choses : 1. Elles n’étaient pas pavées d’or ; 2. Elles n’étaient pas pavées du tout ; 3. On attendait de moi que je les pave. Un immigrant italien de la fin du XIXème siècle (cité au musée de l’immigration d’Ellis Island, New York)
