We all shine on

In 1972, Elliot Mintz installed a red light in his bedroom in Laurel Canyon, California. When it began to blink, he knew: John Lennon or Yoko Ono was calling. For nearly a decade, they spoke on the phone every day, often for hours. Elliot Mintz became the closest confidant of one of the world's most public couples. He accompanied Yoko and John through good times and difficult ones. And he was by Yoko's side in the hours, days, and weeks following John's assassination. Elliot Mintz tells the story of an extraordinary friendship; he takes us into the expansive apartment in the legendary Dakota Building in New York, on spontaneous road trips across the USA, and on extensive travels through Japan. To this day, Mintz remains a close friend of Yoko Ono, who supported him in writing his memoirs—few were as close to this extraordinary couple during John Lennon's final years. We All Shine On is a must-read for Beatles and Lennon fans, offering an intimate look at one of the most celebrated artists of the twentieth century. It is also a story about friendship and how deeply we sacrifice for those we love the most.
