Not cool Cee-Lo, not cool. At least he ain’t do like Weezy and proclaim himself God though.

Gaga looks emotional as she wails on John Lennon’s classic white. Fans get emotional as they bear witness. Wonder what Murs would think of this. No word on whether or not Melle Mel was present. Pic by Sean Lennon

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 about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.
