When John Lennon inhabited the room, it was a quiet, dark sanctum. John had always loved bedrooms and sleep. [...]
John’s side of the bed was sacrosanct. It was the one territory he had reserved to himself. It was where he kept his writing and his reading and his music and his cigarettes. John said several times that when he was growing up in his Aunt Mimi’s house, he had been confined; when he was grown and rich, he was determined to make up for that. Assistants knew to hand John’s tea tray to Yoko, who would then pass it to John. No one walked around John’s side of the bed. It was his last retreat. [...]
At times, the TV was not even tuned to a channel. Without his thick-lensed glasses, John was extremely near-sighted, and he liked the constantly changing warm hues of the TV screen. His Gitanes and ashtray were by his side. He liked to wear jeans and a cowboy shirt, or one of his Japanese kimonos. Incense burned twenty-four hours a day.
Rolling Stone magazine, January 22nd, 1981
