I just enjoyed the documentary called The US VS John Lennon and am looking to get his music, but which one? I'd love to have Revolution included since it isn't on my Beatles' One album.

Thanks again--didn't lose any sleep, but I must admit, I was a bit perplexed.

Thanks for the clarification & birthday wishes.

Thanks so much, Eric. I couldn't think of a better way to end a review than using Lennon's own words.

As for the OT rating, your guess is as good as mine. I hope you didn't ponder it too long, it was just a mistake. I remember reading the review the first time and thinking how good it was, so I'm guessing I just misclicked. How I misclicked, I don't have a clue. My apologies.

YaY Shelly! You've made it!

By the way, the review was pretty good, too. :o) I'm a sucker for closers and that quote was a friggin' beautiful way to end a fine piece of writing.

peace & love,
Eric

Happy Birthday to Us (Reply to this comment)
by martytdx
Like you, I share a birthday with that unfortunate event. I've never been a huge Lennon fan, but I still respected the talent he had and what he stood for. It was a tragedy.

Here's to hoping your birthday this year is just as memorable, but in a much happier fashion.

Oh yes...it is so very worthy a purchase. Imagine is always gorgeous so it is the other songs that make the album.

Thanks as always for the comment & for the birthday wish a day early :)

I probably wouldn't have got this, either, since I have all songs in some guise or other. But your beautiful description of "Imagine" and the yen I now have to hear this version of "Working Class Hero" have changed my mind.

Lovely review, Shelly.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow.. or till lycka med födelsedagen :)

Cheers,

Oh yes. If you love Lennon, "God," and his music I can't help but suggest this album.

Thanks, Mike, for the comment & the early birthday wishes.

That's why I had to include it! It says so much about both Lennon and why his music persists.

Going through one of my many "mental" stages, I became pretty hooked on John Lennon, particularly the "Plastic Ono Band" CD and the song "God". It sounds cliche, but Lennon's voice, like Bono's and very few others, has always signified emotional honesty for me. I should probably just get a hold of this album and stop rambling in other people's comment sections.

Happy early birthday, Shelly.

Beautiful, poetic review (Reply to this comment)
by mike.holmes
You've mentioned it before but I just realized that you share an anniversary with John's death while I share the same birthday as the musical genius. I hadn't heard about this about but I'll check it out. Great review.

That quote rules. Acoustic sounds wonderful. Great review!

The Beatles invasion has left such an impression and imprint on the America music scene. I've always enjoyed John's music.
