A happy ending for the idiot documentary filmmakers behind Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. (Oh, the irony!) The film, which takes a look at the teachers and scientists who believe intelligent design is an alternative to Darwin's theory of evolution, used a 15 second clip of John Lennon's "Imagine" without the "OK" from neither the Lennon camp (i.e. Yoko Ono) or label (EMI.) Ono and EMI didn'...

Yoko Ono has taken up yet another cause in the name of her late hubby, John Lennon. The former musical muse has filed a lawsuit against Orlando, Fla.-based heavy-metal singer-slash-songwriter Lennon Murphy for naming her band after herself. As in Lennon. Ono, according to TMZ, alleges the use of Lennon is a "tarnishment" of the late Beatle’s name and is claiming Murphy "fraudulently" register

High quality audio and YouTube video don't seem to go together but I did my best audio mastering I could and added additional vocals at the chorus.

Today would have been John Lennon's 67'th birthday.Maybe you are not a Beatle's fan, but there is an album in your collection that was in some way influenced by the band.I don't believe there is another individual that has had such a profound effect on music in the past fifty years as he did.

I recently read about how one of the nation's largest owners of radio stations, I believe it was Clear Channel Communications, issued a list of a few hundred songs that their stations were "discouraged" from playing, ranging, according to the quote, "from Black Sabbath's 'Suicide Solution' to John Lennon's 'Imagine'," in the wake of 9/11. With some shock over its uncanny merger with reality, I ...

My god, I used to hate this song. I mean, I used to abhor it. This was the song that brought back the fact that John a solo and there'd be no going back, and oh how I hated him for it. This was what I had to listen to on the radio as I was discovering The Beatles...as I was discovering there was an end to The Beatles. The song just crystallized that end for me, and damn if I didn't hate cha...
