This album is incredible. Why did no one tell me how good it is?

I have been going through John Lennon's solo-albums recently and Walls and Bridges blew me away. I have always heard about Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, but I didn't even know the name of this one. I've barely ever heard anyone discuss it, let alone talk about how amazing it is. I actually feel that I know John better as a person now. He put so much of his heart and soul into his music. If you haven't heard it, you have to check it out.

My thoughts on Oh Yoko! and The Beatles in General.

Listening to Oh Yoko! for a great song it is sexual, "Our love will turn you on" represents John Lennon and Yoko Ono's resistance to the normal norm and did things that were taboo.. In doing so, they helped create the free society we have today where everyone can be themselves! It represents John Lennon's bottomless love for Yoko Ono, nothing nicer is possible, right? It also reminds me that Yoko Ono is often made the scapegoat for the breakup of The Beatles, but if the Beatles hadn't broken up, all the guys would have hated each other, but worked with each other due to pressure from the fans. It's much nicer that the gang can be friends on terms they can all respect. And we got so much great music from the solo albums. George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and Living in the Material World. So much great music because of Yoko Ono who ended up being hated even after John Lennon was shot by a fan. An I onto something or on something here guys?

John Lennon producer Jack Douglas dead at 80

2 days late but still a shock to me so hope and prayers to Jack’s family 🙏🏻🕊️

Jack worked with so many artists and had so many great stories to tell especially with his time spent with John&Yoko in 1980 for those DF and M&H sessions.

I gotta go back to those great interviews that Warren Huart did with Jack because those are some well done interviews so please share your favorite stories about Jack Douglas (if you have any) or a favorite song/album produced by Jack Douglas

What does John Lennon Call himself in this clip?

I’m this interview on Dick Cavett, John says “at the time I was more of a ??? Then I am now” and I can’t understand what he says. Can anyone hear what he says?

My tattoo

Anyone recognize where my tattoo inspiration came from? (John would sometimes sign his letters with doodles. This was one of them. He and Yokos face merged together)

May Pang & Albert Goldman both claim John said Reminiscing by the Little River Band was a favorite song, Pang said it was “their song”… but it wasn’t released until years after Yoko & John supposedly reconciled. Was John still hanging with Pang into the late 70s?

After Yoko started her psychic driving of John in 1975 I would have thought he was too zombified to continue the relationship with May Pang, but “their song” was released in July 1978. Was he fooling around?
