any fans of john lennon's solo career, after the beatles??? i think he kept writing some of his best songs all the way up until his death. those 'milk & honey songs' were great, especially 'grow old with me', prolly his most beautiful and haunting song. i also love his early solo songs like 'love' 'god' and 'mind games'. i just bought a dvd of john and yoko on the dick cavett show. it was pretty interesting, with the exception of those weird videos he made with yoko. i mean, those were bad. really bad. and also, there is a new lennon documentary that will soon be coming out soon. it looks interesting. :)

    Yea, I like some of his solo stuff, need to give it more of a listen. As for the new movie coming out, I'd be more excited if I liked the actors in it more. Jared Leto and Lindsey Lohan are not exactly my two favorite actors...

    Always taught that Oko was the ruination of his later work and the his late Beatles output.

    oh, you're talking about the movie that came out last year about his death. i'm talking about a documentary that is yet to be released. i think it's more about his post-beatles life, being targeted by the FBI.

    Oh. I didn't realize that the movie I was talking about had come out yet. I don't think it has.

    Edit: I just checked IMDB and the movie is called Chapter 27, and it hasn't come out yet.

    I think people give too much credit to his Imagine album. but Plastic Ono Band in wonderful

    ya, that's the one. it's more about the man who shot lennon, though. i know they were working on it late last year, because it was the 25 year anniversary of lennons death.
