[John Lennon in conversation with Tariq Ali, 
Tittenhurst Park, 27 May 1971]
John Lennon: Well, there's only three I've
written this year.
All the rest were things I'd written before
and just polished them off, you know.
There's a nice one called 'Crippled Inside'
- very corny, Country & Western and it just goes like:
You can go to church and sing a hymn
You can judge me by the colour of my skin
You can live a lie until you die
One thing you can't hide
 is when you're crippled inside
(John & Tariq are laughing)

[Take breaks down because the bass is now too loud]
John: OK, start again, sorry.
Klaus: That's a bit loud now
John: It's a bit loud now the bass,
you sound like a tin can banging there.
Phil Spector (laughing): That's exactly what it is!
[George Harrison on slide dobro]
John: OK...
[John's guitar intro]
John: Oh, what am i doing?

John: Yeah!
John: 1, oh it's me!
John: Are you ready?
Phil: Yep
[John's guitar intro]
Phil: Start again
Klaus (to Steve Brendell playing drumsticks on the upright bass strings):
Try not to hit the other strings if you can avoid it, 
I can stop them up here but I can't...
John: Who's talking for fuck's sake?
Klaus: Well we're just... 
having a little...
John: 1, 2, 1 2 3 4
