My muse of late, when I waver between marginal acknowledgement and complete indifference.

Interviewed by founding editor Jann S. Wenner
This interview took place in New York City on December 8th 1970, shortly after John and Yoko finished their ‘Plastic Ono Band’ albums in England.
They came to New York to attend to the details of the release of the album, to make some films, and for a private visit.

Until recent human colonisation that introduced rodents and cats, the only mammals found on the islands of New Zealand were three species of bat, one of which recently has become extinct. Free from terrestrial mammalian competition and predatory threat, birds occupied or dominated all major niches in the New Zealand animal ecology because there were no threats to their eggs and chicks by small terrestrial animals. Moa were grazers, functionally similar to deer or cattle in other habitats, and Haast’s Eagles were the hunters who filled the same niche as top-niche mammalian predators, such as tigers or lions.
