""Obviously, the world is also the custodian of his legacy," Lennon told CBS Sunday Morning 's Anthony Mason. "I'm just doing my best to help make sure that the younger generation doesn't forget about The Beatles and John and Yoko. That's how I look at it.""
""I do actually [think so]. And I never did before.""
""I wanted to see if I could get that feeling of maybe it sounds like you're hearing [Plastic Ono Band's 'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)'] again for the first time, or at least in a new context, in a way that you'd pay attention, as opposed to, 'Oh, there it is on the radio again,'" Lennon said about the short."
Sean Ono Lennon worries that Gen Z could forget The Beatles and his parents' cultural legacy and is actively working to preserve that memory. He accepts that the world shares custodianship of that legacy while taking personal responsibility to help younger generations remember John Lennon and Yoko Ono. He defines the legacy as peace and love combined with an attitude toward activism delivered with humor and love. He co-wrote and produced the Oscar-winning animated short WAR IS OVER! Inspired by the Music of John & Yoko to recontextualize 'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)' and draw renewed attention. Yoko Ono, now 92, has slowed down.
