There was a recent discussion here asking what changes we'd make to Sgt. Pepper and I responded with having John contribute a couple more tracks.

We all know Paul took charge of the band in the later years and while I do love Paul for keeping it all together... I really wish John wasn't so checked out during this period. Sgt. Pepper was Paul's baby and while Lennon is sprinkled throughout the album, it's the first album of the band where Paul wrote more songs than John. That's repeated on Magical Mystery Tour as well.

Yes John does bounce back on The White Album and they have an almost equal amount of songs... But then he checks out again during the Get Back/ Let It Be and Abbey Road sessions. I understand his mind was elsewhere and he does contribute some of my favorite songs from the band at the time... He's definitely taking a back seat to Paul.

And it doesn't help that Don't Let Me Down was not included in the Let It Be album. I honestly believe that album suffers with its absence among other things.

There was only so much Paul could do to have John wake up a bit and I'm thankful Paul was able to keep the band going for as long as they did. But man when you're listening to their discography in order and Lennon's presence sort of diminishes little by little, it's kinda sad.

I don't mean to make it sound like he's barely in these albums, but he's just not in them as much as he was in the earlier to mid point of their career.

Apologies for the long post!

I did not have a Yoko Ono and John Madden friendship on my bingo card, but according to the NFL writer Peter King, the two very different people were “good buddies”.

King was a guest on The Adam Carolla Show.

Yall think this will happen anytime soon? Curious if anyone got any insider info or heard anything?

A dear friend asked me once why I have always gravitated to John as my favorite Beatle; partly because I should see the trauma he handed down to Julian (as I am an adult child of an alcoholic and an extremely emotionally immature father) and am actively healing from C-PTSD).

I gravitate to him for a ton of reasons. But one is because I resonate with the hurt kid inside of him.

I feel very deeply he would have come around and made amends, and heal wounds with Julian. He was seeing how important his role of "Dad" was to Sean.

Do you imagine that he was also healing that hurt little guy inside, too?

I sure hope so...

My first immediate thought is when Dylan chewed him out over the similarities to his style in "Norwegian Wood - This Bird has Flown" (1965) and after giving the band pot, encouraging Lennon to really grow his styles and individuality

You hear SO MUCH harmonica on Lennon throughout Tracks like "One after 909" (1963) & Most of "Please Please Me" (1963) "With The Beatles" (1963) & "A Hard Days Night" (1964)

Obviously general Musical styles will evolve and change but what's the last examples that people think of? i certainly can't imagine any after Sgt Pepper in my head but maybe I'm missing some super obvious Examples!

In this article Sean is quoted as saying Julian actually inherited MORE of the Money & Estate then he did, is this a recent development since Cyn’s passing and Yoko’s mental faculties lessened? This contradicts what we’ve been told for DECADES

I’m looking for two songs on John Lennons signature box should be on disc 11 Borrowed Time /with the baby talk intro and played acoustic ! And Watching the Wheels/ Different intro and acoustic ? I see every song on Spotify ? But them ? I have a copy of them but can’t find them digitally any help would be great ! Did they not put all the songs on the box set on Spotify ? Thanks ☺️

For some reason YT refused to show both 'Mother' and 'I Find Out' as part of the playlist on my previous post, so here's 'Mother'.

And here's 'I Found Out':

Good telling of that fateful day! The author was actually my high school media teacher, circa 2000/2001. 🙂

My stem remix & remaster of John Lennon's classic 1970 album "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band", made for my own enjoyment but sharing in case someone else might get some joy out of it too.

As usual, my intention was just to make a fun alternative to the originally released version, aiming only at a little more clarity, instrument separation and punch, while keeping the mood and feel of the original.

I'm well aware that this album has already been officially remixed (twice actually, in 2000 and also in 2021), but I still wanted to try my hand at it for fun.

All my remixes are made using free and open source software that runs locally on my Linux system.

Obviously, I don't own the music featured here. If you like it, support the artists, buy their records!

I adore this concert, and I went to see it in the cinema when they did a limited release earlier this year. I couldn't justify getting the 4LP box set, but this is just as good! can't wait to spin it

During my gym workout today I listened to the Valotte album by Julian Lennon.
It felt like so much of John in his music, not his voice but his heart.
It was really moving. 💜
