| 0:00.0 | So, Burda, what do you know about John Lennon's psychology? |
| 0:11.5 | Of his psychology. |
| 0:13.1 | Yeah. |
| 0:14.1 | Well, I know he had a few parental issues like all of us do and I know he probably had |
| 0:21.3 | a few chips on his shoulder from challenges and struggles when he was a kid and he certainly |
