I'm just musically weird, listening to a different drummer—the same reason most don't like this song (choppy, discordant, etc.) is why I do like it. But then, despite buying "Walls and Bridges" back in the day, I was not really a big Lennon fan.

John was brilliant, this was not.
I was never a Yoko hater but I do feel she screwed Johns brain outta his head and thus ruined his music.
I have also always believed she significantly contributed to ending the Beatles.

Musically speaking, i'd say this is horrible in terms of quality. But hey, music's made to feel, not to measure... Even so: 3  |

OR is Spoon very Lennonish in this case? Either way, with such low ratings what does that say about Spoon? |

Oh man, has the monkey stopped banging on that piano yet? Never been a huge fan of The Beatles or it's members solo work, but this is awful.

Not one of my favorites, but I am struck by how fresh it sounds. Hard to believe this was recorded in '70.

George Harrison blossomed after the Beatles, McCartney went more commercial and Ringo just had fun. Lennon solo is nothing like the Fab Four.

One of my Lennon favorites.
Simple truths, stated simply.

I disagree. I think this song is much more about the intensity of day to day struggles, and stop and think about the moment in your life.
and then, the time change....good on ya, john.

Beatle-philes may correct me, but as I recall, this was composed during or soon after the Primal Scream therapy phase. John and Yoko were trying to get sane. I find the song very provocative.

I guess you had to be there to appreciate this song. The early 70's were a difficult time where still-young people were trying to put together the shards left from 1968. Kind of like a post 9-11 era in a way.
