Title: John Lennon doodle for Mike Love, circa 1968 Post by: hypehat on December 10, 2012, 08:52:47 AM So I picked up the new John Lennon Letters book (Not much cop, unless you're megaobsessed tbh), and found this...

I heard that battery story, but is it true? Was Mike as weird in India off-stage as he was onstage here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyYxNuG_qg0 at 17.00)

VDP claims that when they were hanging out in the 70's, John said that he and Paul both thought he was a twat. But when John & VDP would have been hanging out, they were indulging in Bacchanalian levels of drink and drugs, and this was in the height of the 'American Band' fiasco, so VDP would have had an axe to grind and JL could well have been utterly slaughered. So, who the hell knows? Title: Re: John Lennon doodle for Mike Love, circa 1968 Post by: Quzi on December 11, 2012, 04:24:04 AM Unfortunately the photo that the OP posted is a fake. That's not to say John didn't draw a doodle for Mike in '68, he did, and I've attached it below.

Alex said Lennon doodled with it for a couple of hours, said it's amazing what do you call it ?
