We complete our latest Lennon journey with the conclusion of my analysis of some of the more telling quotes from the series of interviews conducted in September 1980 for Playboy magazine by John Lennon and Yoko Ono. This episode contains a lot of clips from the original audio of the interviews and focuses mainly on John's comments about who wrote what in the Lennon-McCartney catalogue, including John#s analysis of the deeper meanings behind the song 'Strawberry Fields Forever'. I have also included (by kind permission) an extended segment from the excellent 'Yesterday and Today' podcast that deals with a certain seafaring adventure that John undertook in June 1980 and which would have a profound effect on him. Finally, there's a little bit of music from your humble host...   Enjoy!

This episode starts with a ‘short intro’ of around 45 minutes, with yet more Coleman vs Goldman material, before continuing our in-depth look at John Lennon’s series of interviews for Playboy magazine in September 1980, which also included Yoko Ono. The interviews offer a fascinating and multi-layered study of a highly eccentric artist and also form an integral part of the official narrative of John and Yoko’s relationship in 1980 before John’s sudden and brutal demise. There are numerous audio clips to complement the conversation, including some of John from the interviews themselves. You will also hear from Arthur and Vivien Janov talking about Primal Therapy, and comedy genius Bill Hicks discussing drugs. Enjoy!

John Lennon’s series of interviews for Playboy magazine in September 1980, which also included Yoko Ono, are not only a fascinating and multi-layered study of a highly eccentric artist but also form an integral part of the official narrative of John and Yoko’s relationship in 1980 before his death and of the genesis of the songs for their joint album ‘Double Fantasy’. This episode is the first of a 3-parter that picks out some interesting extracts from the book ‘All We Are Saying’, based on the transcripts of the interviews. A lot of the narrative promoted by John & Yoko in these interviews has been reasonably debunked, including the obvious and provable point that John's songs for 'Double Fantasy' were worked on for years rather than being the product of pure inspiration. The overall contention over what the truth is has helped form the Coleman-Goldman continuum that has been a almost frequent topic of study on this podcast Before the main topic, there is also a recommendation and critique of Madeline Bocaro’s epic new 500-page book on Yoko Ono, whose narrative fits neatly with the interviews being studied in this episode. There are numerous audio clips to complement the conversation, including some of John from the interviews themselves.   Enjoy!   Feedback and voluntary Paypal donations to glassonionpod@yahoo.com OR Support the show at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/glassonionjlpod Twitter handle https://www.twitter.com/OnionLennon Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching) https://www.antonyrotunno.com Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology) https://www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com Antony on Luke’s English Podcast talking about meditation https://teacherluke.co.uk/2022/03/16/   episode links The Playboy Interviews (more than 3 hours of audio clips) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PRDfBGagFkU link to Madeline Bocaro’s new book on Yoko Ono https://madelinex.com/2021/12/19/my-new-book/ Madeline and Dan Richter on the ‘Things We Said Today’ podcast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=177VFkC1oC4 ‘John Lennon’s Original Lost Weekend’ (episode of ‘The Beatles Naked’) https://player.fm/series/the-beatles-naked/episode-19-hamburg-spring-62-lennons-original-lost-weekend Double Fantasy Revisited (‘Something About The Beatles’ podcast) https://somethingaboutthebeatles.com/243-double-fantasy-revisited-part-one/ https://somethingaboutthebeatles.com/244-double-fantasy-revisited-part-two/ Kirby Ferguson’s ‘Everything Is A Remix’ website, documentary and TED talk https://www.everythingisaremix.info/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJPERZDfyWc https://www.ted.com/talks/kirby_ferguson_embrace_the_remix Huxley vs Orwell (dystopia and modern reality) https://allthatsinteresting.com/amusing-ourselves-to-death-comic ‘Amusing Ourselves To Death’ audiobook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX2_8NteDrQ ‘Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah’ by Richard Bach audiobook https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI1yf916CJQ

Compilation albums come in many shapes and sizes and some can be justified while others rely on good marketing and glossy packaging to persuade consumers to part with their hard-earned money for the same material. This is an appearance by your humble host on the ‘When they Was Fab’ podcast back in December 2020 discussing the mind-boggling number of John Lennon compilation albums that have been foisted on the public since 1975. The conversation is preceded by a long introduction from Antony discussing various talking points from a recent reread of ‘The Beatles: The Authorised Biography’ by Hunter Davies. Enjoy!

John Lennon and Paul McCartney are inextricably linked, and what more is there to say at this point? Well, I give it a shot in a podcast of 3 sections, looking at common Lennon/McCartney tropes and assumptions, giving a guitar & vocal lesson on the song 'Two Of Us' and then walking you through the highly entertaining 2000 TV film 'Two Of Us', directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg and starring Aiden Quinn and Jared Harris. There are a record number of clips included here and it's hopefully a pretty epic ride to end the year of 2022. Here's to more Glass Onion in 2023 so keep listening! Enjoy!

We complete our description of John using adjectives of personality, and then discuss his lyrics, including his lyrical progression, and offer numerous examples courtesy of Antony’s voice and guitar and Luke’s deep knowledge of Beatles songs. This and the previous episode are especially recommended for students of English and non-native speakers but we hope these edits make them accessible to all. Enjoy!

Luke Thompson, a fellow English teacher and podcaster, hosted Antony on his podcast back in June 2021, and this is the Glass Onion version of that talk, split into two parts. This part of the discussion centres on trying to describe John Lennon using adjectives of personality, so this episode is especially recommended for students of English and non-native speakers. There are some warm-up questions as well and we go pretty deep into the multi-faceted enigma that was John Lennon Enjoy!

We talk Lennon origin stories, Freudian analysis, Aunt Mimi, Liverpool and the Dylan/Lennon superduo that never was.

Turning our attention from 1968 itself to the Lennon/Beatles events of the year, what emerges is an epic Glass Onion journey into a year that weighed heavily on John Lennon's psyche and the world-famous group that he'd originally formed. The main events include the trip to India, the Apple launch, the recording of the White Album and John and Paul's very tangled and drama-laced romantic lives. And the world meets the phenomenon known as Johnandyoko! Enjoy!

1968 was among the most turbulent years in living memory. As a forerunner to our look at the Beatles/John Lennon events, Matt Williamson joins the show to dissect the year itself in terms of major events, films and (non-Beatles) singles and albums. This is prefaced by host Antony doing a brief comparison of The Beatles and Monty Python's Flying Circus 'groups' and some of the curious similarities and connections in their stories. Enjoy!

Chris Purcell and I complete our 2-part look at John Lennon's live career and also some of the films and video clips surrounding his performances This part takes us from 1966 to 1975 as we look at such events as the Our World broadcast, Hey Jude & Revolution on the David Frost show, the rooftop gig and John's two most high-profile and substantial solo gigs, namely Toronto in 1969 and Madison Square Garden in 1972. There are other performances mentioned, along with some inevitable post-1980 speculation and audio clips in all the right places... Enjoy!

John Lennon was a unique live performer, both with The Beatles and in his solo career, though following his split with the Fabs he showed a reluctance to play full concerts and so we should cherish what little we have in that regard. This 2-parter on John’s live career sees documentarian Chris Purcell make a welcome return to the show. In this part, we look at the Beatles’ live work up to Candlestick Park in 1966 and Chris casts his expert eye on the films made of some of their concerts Enjoy!

This time around, Antony is joined by Jon Stewart, the author of a fantastic new book that offers a unique new take on the fascinating John Lennon/Bob Dylan relationship, and also welcomes a returning guest, radio DJ and Bob Dylan podcaster extraordinaire Ben Burrell. Before diving into the main topic, we talk a little about Jon's previous (and current) incarnation as guitarist with the Britpop band 'Sleeper', and what the relationship was between the 60s and the 90s. We then go headlong into Lennon & Dylan and discuss some of the broad topics and fine details of their relationship contained in Jon's book. Get your scuba gear on folks, we go deep.... Enjoy!

1969 was, even by the standards of the tumultuous decade of the 60s, a remarkably eventful year both for John Lennon and the world at large. Scott Phipps makes a welcome return to the podcast for a 2-parter about John in this year. I should come clean and say that there is very little John Lennon/Beatles in this part, so call it a build-up to the main event. There’s plenty of gold here though as we look at the events, births & deaths, films and non-Lennon music of this remarkable 12 months Enjoy!

James Corbett joins the show to discuss the 2006 documentary about John's political activism and his fight against the Nixon administration to stay in the U.S. We also take some time to look at the political landscape of the time and the difference between then and now in terms of how much the public is shown about what is really happening in the world.
