John Lennon - one of the coolest guys who ever lived

In this video excerpt from John and Yoko's appearance on the Dick Cavette Show, John explains the origins of the song he wrote with Yoko: "Woman is the Nigger of the World" and then they perform the song. During the explanation, John demonstrates just how articulate, sharp and compelling he was as a person and as a devotee of a cause. And how far ahead of his time he was.
