The paranoid president couldn’t have anticipated that the couple’s son would be thrilled to hear the captured conversations. “Growing up without my father, most of my experience of him has been through videos and film and music,” Sean Ono Lennon says. “So I always feel like I’m gaining extra time with him. It was really great fun to hear the audio calls.

Marrying John Lennon brought Yoko Ono a dizzying degree of reflected fame. But her life story is nervy, compelling and shockingly sad both with and without him.
