List No. 100

ELVIS: FAT

John Lennon

1976

In 1976, a young man named Stuart took a chance and sent six pages of interview questions to one of the most famous people on the planet, John Lennon. Much to his surprise, a reply soon arrived. Here we have Question 9, in which he offered a list of ten things and asked Lennon to describe each with a single word. Interestingly, four years later, Howard “Ham” Cosell would announce the death of Lennon to millions in the US during a televised game of American football.

9. Today how do you associate to the following, described in one word?

New York: great

Elvis: fat

Ringo: friend

Yoko: love

Howard Cosell: hum

George: lost

Bootlegs: good

Elton: nice

Paul: extraordinary

Bowie: thin

M.B.E: shit
