And I dunno about you, but I'm glad we made it and were able to hear this song! Dang - Lennon's been gone a long time, but his music is still credible, listenable, and great. Thanks to whoever uploaded this song - and thanks to Bill and Rebecca for putting it on the playlist. I'm pretty happy right now.  |

It's either sappy and sugar sweet or just noise. This time, though I think he found a bit of Paul's energy (also not a huge fan of Paul, please read on) and made a damned fine song. Paul and John were definitely bigger than the sum of their parts. I always think that the best thing that ever happened to George was the split up. Paul and John just never quite got it right after that, but George did well. Both Paul and John did some good music, post Beatles, but they were magic as a team and just average after. |

Seriously, I was interviewing with the head dude and it was going great, then we started talking about other stuff, he asked me what kind of music I like, I think I said Neil Young, he said he just got some John LEnnon collection and I oh so casually said oh I never cared for him. Well the guy got SO offended, he retorted something like 'well you can't deny he was an incredible artist!' And it just went downhill from there...
Good story. Reminds me of the Sienfeld in which Elaine hates "The English Patient", and then gets fired for it. |

I'm willing to bet John wouldn't give a shit that you think the cover is "banana," whatever that means.  |

kaybee wrote:Actually no, Lennon apparently wrote this song about Allen Klein. From the Wikipedia "Walls and Bridges link: '"Steel and Glass" included a sinister riff borrowed from " How Do You Sleep", Lennon's audio argument with Paul McCartney from the Imagine album, though the digs this time were directed at former Beatles manager Allen Klein. <5>' I'd never heard this song played before and my first reaction to hearing it was "wow"! I guess, like "Working Class Hero", its lyrics were too trenchant for radio! ...I stand corrected, I thought Lennon was referring to himself.... "There you stand with your LA tan, and your NY talk and your NY walk" ...and "Your Mother left you when you were small....." Thought it was a slam dunk.... |

Sounds like a repeat of How Do You Sleep? without the vitriol.
