In 1971 about a thousand prisoners at the Attica Correctional Facility in upstate New York threw a kanipshit over the crappy living conditions of the lockdown they called home. Originally built to hold some 1,200 inmates, the Attica prison at the time was housing more than 2,200 convicts. Add to it torture from the corrections officers and you are looking at one angry mob of crazy people.Begin...

Reports are popping up on numerous news sites of a controversial "drug tape" starring John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1970 and a documentary critiquing "Imagine" without permission.Rolling Stone Magazine labeled the drug tape "awesome John Lennon footage you might never see," as it reportedly depicts Lennon co...

Found another sign of the impending Apocalypse, to go along with war (take your pick), pestilence (the Notorious P.I.G. F.L.U.) and "American Idol." A cover of "Instant Karma," a much revered song from the late John Lennon's post-Beatles solo career, is the soundtrack for a current TV commercial touting the arrival of Chase Bank in California - the latter made possible by Chase's takeover of th...

Cold Turkey stands out in The RocknRoll canon as a hair-raising testament to the agony of heroin addiction. In my mind this song, more than any other, finally shatters the illusion of the Mop Tops. For three plus minutes John Lennon is in your face and under your skin with a sharp, jagged & nervous cry of pain, need & determination. His sweat is palpable, you can almost smell the junkie ...

When we listen to something like this, and compare it to the officially released version we realize what may have been.....................its like a ghost town in here.

I watched ??Imagine?? again a couple months ago, and I came away with a couple insights that I wouldn't have had when I watched it as a teenager. 1. John Lennon was the first "Reality Star" of any merit.* 2. John had worked his thinking pattern into his own frenzied logic that wasn't really as deep as we often believe him to be. He often uses a "it means everything, it means nothing" argu...

Christie's are auctioning off John Lennon's hand-written lyrics for "Give Peace A Chance." Reportedly they were given to a 16-year old Gail Renard by the singer himself during a protest for peace in Montreal in 1969. John and Yoko were holding the "bed-in" at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel when he gave Renard a few mementos, including the lyrics. This is the same event where the now-legendary son...

Anything can become a weapon. In mind games, words become missiles - hope killing daggers to the heart of an issue hidden among other words and as difficult to detect as a needle hidden in a haystack of needles.Lennon wrote Mind Games during a period of separation from Ono that led to his involvement in a triangle with Ono and another woman. Sped up and backward tracked, his favorite expression...

A little rough in the recording but it is always good to listen to a genius at work.As often speculated, Lennon wrote this to explain what he was up to in the last 6 years. Until Double Fantasy, his last album was Walls And Bridges, which was released in 1974. He was no longer interested in fame, and dedicated himself to his family - his wife Yoko and young son Sean. The song makes a statement ...
