John Lennon - Memories Revisited!!!

Born October 09, 1940; The war years
Here is a rare piano demo of John Lennon's "Memories" that features an insightful perspective of John's past in his own words from an interview in the intro of the video. The first 22 seconds of the actual song is a double intro overlapped between two tracks of the same segments taken from a segment or portion of the song.

Lennonite, the Trotsky years...


If you did it for a cause, you were a hippie or even more so, a sage or prophet

Lennon from Interzone... a Burroughsean fantasy


Whether Wild Bill and John ever crossed paths in this life is still yet to be determined;
But there are uncanny parallels as the following video shows.

Bring On The Lucie (Freeda Peeple)
John Lennon - Bring On The Lucie (Freeda Peeple)
Copyright - 1973 Apple/EMI Records "Bring on the Lucie (Freeda Peeple)" is a protest song written and performed by John Lennon from his 1973 album Mind Games. After the politically-heavy album Some Time in New York City in 1972, Lennon returned to the style of his previous albums, the emotionally revealing John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and the more commercial yet equally emotional Imagine. "Bring on the Lucie (Freeda Peeple)" is one of the few political statements on the album. Like many of Lennon's political songs, "Bring on the Lucie" protests war and killing (the song was released two years before the end of the Vietnam War), taking a critical stab at self-important government with lyrics such as, "We don't care what flag you're waving/We don't even want to know your name/We don't care where you're from or where you're going," later saying, "You're making all our decisions." In the song, he demands that the government, "Free the people now" (the song's refrain, with Lennon shouting, "Stop the killing now!," over the final verse), and stops its efforts to control them and the world around them. With its repeated refrain and repetitive melody, the song is reminiscent of Lennon's past political anthems, "Give Peace a Chance" and "Power to the People." In the song, Lennon at one point likens the refrain to a prayer, urging listeners to "shout it aloud." Lennon further continues to disparage the government by equating them to Satan by using the Number of the Beast, 666, before describing officials "jerking off each other" and telling them that, "You still gotta swallow your pill", possibly alluding to LSD and Timothy Leary's mantra of "Turn on, tune in, drop out".
