The last of a five-part tribute based on a conversation between John Lennon, Yoko Ono and Andy Peebles recorded in New York on 6 December last year - two days before John Lennon's tragic death.

'I've been walking the streets for the last seven years. When we first moved here, we actually lived in Greenwich Village, where all the students and the would-bes live - a few old poets and that! She (Yoko) told me, "Yes, you can walk on the street", but I would be walking around tense-like, waiting for somebody to say something, or jump on me, and it took me two years to unwind. I can go right out this door now, and go in a restaurant - you want to know how great that is! Or go to the movies! I mean, people come and ask for autographs or say "Hi", but they don't bug you.'
