John Lennon | The Lennon Diary 1969








John Lennon
The Lennon Diary 1969
New York City, USA: Roaring Fork Press, 1970
[unpaginated], 4 x 3.25", softcover
Edition size unknown

The Lennon Diary 1969 was published as part of Aspen #7 (The British Issue), which also included a flexi-disc of Yoko Ono performing the three-part track Song For John. Other artists included in the box were Peter Blake, Ossie Clarke, Ian Hamilton Finlay, David Hockey, and Eduardo Paolozzi.

From an intended series of "Diaries of the future", the work is a facsimile of a 1969 pocket diary, filled in November 1968, and not published until 1970.

Lennon's diary entries are more or less identical, with only a few variations: “Got Up, went to work, got home , watched telly. ” Occasionally he adds “fucked the wife“.

Lennon died on this day in 1980,
