John Lennon was idiot box crazy

Washington (ANI): John Lennon was a big TV buff who remained glued to the idiot box for hours every day lying in bed and flicking channels, reveals his ex-flame May Pang. Pang, who was Lennon's assistant and later his girlfriend from 1973 to 1975 while he was separated from wife Yoko Ono, claims that her favourite image of the former Beatle is of him sticking to TV with his two cats crawling over him at their home on New York's East 52nd Street.

"The man really liked to stay in bed and just lay there and watch television," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying. "Cable was new then. We had a box with buttons and his fingers were constantly moving on it. "We had cats called Major and Minor. They would just sit all over him. It was just cute," she added.
