Paperback
John Lennon and Yoko Ono shared an extraordinary romance which was reflected in their life and work. In these pages, the writers and editors who reported on, critiqued and supported John and Yoko from 1967 until 1980 take a long, loving look back at their childhoods in Liverpool and Tokyo, their complex personalities, their music and their art. More than a powerful biography, THE BALLAD OF JOHN AND YOKO is a tribute and an homage to two of the most remarkable artists of our time. Their days and dreams together are remembered and represented here by many of the same hands and hearts that gave testimony to their beginnings. There are contributions by Robert Christgau, Jonathan Cott, David Dalton, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Ralph J. Gleason, Pete Hamill, Stephen Holden, Donald Kirk, Jan Morris, Robert Palmer, John Rockwell, Scott Spencer, and Jann S. Wenner. There are two portfolios of photographs by Annie Leibovitz as well as the cover photo. It is edited by Jonathan Cott and Christine Doudna with Art Direction by Bea Feitler
