Description: Jonathan Cott's story begins one day in 1968 when he went to interview John Lennon and Yoko Ono in their London flat. Later that evening Lennon invited Cott - then the London correspondent for fledgling music magazine Rolling Stone - to sit in on a recording session at Abbey Road Studios. From this professional introduction a friendship was born - one that continued even as Lennon and Ono moved to New York. It was Cott who interviewed the couple on December 5, 1980, about their album "Double Fantasy." This would turn out to be Lennon's last major interview. He was murdered three days later. A celebration of two remarkable lives that touched Cott's own in countless ways, Days That I'll Remember is an insider's memoir of a seismic musical, cultural and political time.
