That Early 70's McLennon cunt energy

John 1970, Plastic Ono Band, Well, Well, Well:

Well, well, well, Oh well. Well, well, well, Oh well. I took my loved one out to dinner [...] She looked so beautiful, I could eat her. Well, well, well, Oh well. Well, well, well, Oh well. I took my loved one to the big field...

Paul 1971, RAM, Long Haired Lady + Eat at Home:

Well, well, well, well, well Do you love me like you know you ought to do? Well, well, well, well, well Or is this the only thing you want me for? Well, [paraphrase] I have a very sexy lady now also, I love her sooo much. And I definitely do eat her...at home. Here's some on point iconography for you, you jackass, and I don't want to hear another word about what happened in that field.

sometimes you work on something that you think (hope) will be special. you give a little more. you cross your fingers a little harder.

when it turns out to be what you hoped it would, well that is worthy of a very satisfying release of that deep breath you had taken.

ie: i am really satisfied with the outcome of this drawing.

Q: George told Rolling Stone that if you wanted the Beatles, go listen to Wings. It seemed a bit of a putdown.

JOHN: I didn't see what George said, so I really don't have any comment. (pause) Band on the Run is a great album. Wings is almost as conceptual a group as Plastic Ono Band. Plastic Ono was a conceptual group, meaning whoever was playing was the band. And Wings keeps changing all the time. It's conceptual. I mean, they're backup men for Paul. It doesn't matter who's playing. You can call them Wings, but it's Paul McCartney music. And it's good stuff. It's good Paul music and I don't really see the connection.

— John Lennon, interview with Pete Hamill in Rolling Stone, June 5th, 1975.

Remembering Tom Smothers 1937-2023

Comedian / actor / musician Tom Smothers of the Smothers Brothers comedy duo has died at 86. Tom and Dick Smothers' musical comedy stylings were perfect for the late 60s. They appeared on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, their own show The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (CBS 1967-1969), and countless appearances.

Smothers with John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1969

George Harrison was one of many musicians who appeared on their show in the late 60s. Their show also showed numerous promotional video clips (later known as music videos) including The Beatles' "Hey Jude". In 1969, Tom joined the Plastic Ono Band to play acoustic guitar and backing vocals on "Give Peace a Chance".

Tom himself appeared in several other films and TV shows including a supporting role in Steven Soderbergh's The Informant!.

McLennon Playlists

I have been working putting together some McLennon playlists. I mean "McLennon" pretty broadly and vaguely with these lists, so choose your own adventure. It's a useful short portmanteau for for the creative partnership of Lennon/McCartney. But I do also think there is a powerful human relationship here, disregarded from the classic Beatles narrative. And I think this relationship is pivotal to much of their songwriting.

This is a work in progress but here are the acts so far:

Act I: The Beatles before India '68. This is a foundational period. For the most part, I don't think these songs are consciously referencing each other. Rather, they providing a foundation for future references. That said, I think Hide Your Love Away deserves a second look.

Act II: The Beatles after India '68. The contrast is remarkable. Not everything on this list is written by Lennon/McCartney. I think George's While My Guitar Gently Weeps is actually the best expression for the whole time. Anyway, they're breaking up. Passionately. Chronology is a total mash since most of these songs were written or produced in a small period of time.

Act III: The 70's up through approximately 1975. Here especially the chronology of songs begins to be sacrificed for highlighting some back and forth. I personally find their mirroring right after the Beatles--with the front and center band wives and antipodal messages right when they're sending each other cutting missives through hit singles--hilarious. But after that you get this escalating back and forth in moods. Still sent through international hits! Lol. Which they simply presume will work. Anyway, if you listen in order, the positivity increases. Unfortunately, a playlist shift is required once John returns to Yoko in 75ish.

Act IV: '76ish through 1980. After a period of musical productivity and reconnecting with old friends including McCartney, John returns to Yoko. Let's not weight into that but merely note that it changes all music vibes for both musicians. John goes completely silent for 5 years, except for later release home demos. (I'm using Spotify for this which doesn't have most of Lennon's demos unfortunately. But the demos for Free as a Bird and Real Love are recorded during this time so those songs are included. Now and Then demo also, but c'mon let's save that.) McCartney in the meantime writes a series of IMPASSIONED songs about things like his baby who won't call him back, and his lover who needs to beware. Idk what is going on with Wings in production, but LIVE he is absolutely wailing. He starts '76 going on tour worldwide with every song so far I would ever include in these lists. He wails into that void so hard... Things dip, but then escalate back up in 1980. Coming Up. Starting Over Again. But then unfortunately...

Act V: Post Dec 8, 1980. Pending. There's a lot here, but it's so sad it's taking me awhile.

Please contribute suggestions if I've missed relevant songs!

I'll be working on providing more details explanations of some song inclusions.

I lived 10 times better without knowing what “Self-Portrait” by Yoko Ono was. I USED TO GO TO SLEEP NOT THINKING ABOUT THIS. WTF. I LIVED SO MUCH BETTER WITHOUT THIS INFORMATION. HELP.
