Advantages: A chance to see John Lennon again Disadvantages: We can't have him back
Lennon and McCartney were immense influences on my life and on the lives of millions of fans and musicians. This review is about ?Lennon Legend? ? a DVD of songs and footage of John and Yoko way back when we were all a lot younger and the gods of rock were the real deal.
The fashion icons, John and Yoko start off the DVD seen from behind as they walk through a misty lane, up a drive to the door of a mansion. They walk in silence as the first verse of Imagine starts playing. Then they disappear into thin air and we are inside the house with John playing in a white room, with white furniture, as Yoko goes around the white walls letting light in at the white-shuttered windows. If you?ve not heard this song before ? and this seems barely conceivable ? it holds a wish for peace and a world with no wars, religious hatred, and Nationalistic ...
Advantages: A mostly great selection of John Lennon's post-Beatles work Disadvantages: The tracks could have been put in a slightly different order
, and exasperated the remainder. Recorded wearing white robes, adorned with flowers and many other famous individuals joining in the chant at their bedside, John and Yoko released what I feel is one of the very best anti-war songs ever made. If you can get your head around the images in the words, they are quite hard-hitting - a little surreal here and there - but clearly outline the stupidity of the things we make so much fuss about, and draw attention to the more important things we choose to turn a blind eye to. The only backing for this chant was percussion, which was fed through something or other that reversed the back-beat, giving the song an unusual, attention-grabbing sound. I wish the mood of those days was still prevalant now - I feel we need the sort of 1969 Lennonspirit this track conveys, and urgently! A classic, all-time anthem from ...
Advantages: An honest account of life with John Lennon. Disadvantages: Very little that hasn't been written already.
I did a search on Amazon to see how many titles came up for Beatles books. Result: 1182. For JohnLennon: 445 results. So did we really need yet another book?
Cynthia Lennon was born in 1939, the week the war began and lived in Hoylake ("over the water" from where JohnLennon lived, in what was seen as a 'posh' area). She lost her father at 17 from cancer, which later would be one of the things that would bring her closer to John who had lost his mother at a similar age (It was also one of the few things he had in common with McCartney). Having won a scholarship to the Junior Art School in Liverpool at the age of 12, it now looked as if the death of her father would put a stop to her ambition to be an artist. Thankfully, her mother insisted that she continue her education. She started at the Liverpool College of Art in 1959 ...
