John Lennon October 9, 1940 - December 8, 1980

In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon's hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview. This was in the midst of Lennon's "bed-in" phase, during which John and Yoko were staying in hotel beds in an effort to promote peace. In 2008, Jerry  produced a film about it. http://www.imetthewalrus.com/
