A Tour of John Lennon 'S New York Pujol, Rolando Document 1 of 1 A tour of John Lennon 's New York Pujol, Rolando. AM New York [New York, N.Y] 08 Dec 2010: 2. Full Text There is perhaps no more poignant an image of John Lennon than the one captured of him on a Manhattan rooftop in August 1974 wearing the iconic New York City T-shirt his photographer had bought for the shoot. The shirt and the shoot both came to symbolize Lennon's love of New York, where he could be himself and craft his post-Beatles career starting in the early 1970s. Here are some Gotham spots that figured in his short but memorable time in New York. * 105 Bank St: Lennon and wife Yoko Ono lived in a tiny apartment in "arty farty" Greenwich Village, as Lennon once put it, in the early 1970s, shortly after the Beatles broke up and before his so-called "Lost Weekend" - a period when he separated from Ono and lived in Los Angeles. * The Dakota, IW. 72nd St.: The couple moved to this classic apartment house for what turned out to be Lennon's final years. It was here that Lennon eventually found domestic harmony and savored the comforts of Upper West Side life in what he thought was a secure building, where he was one of many celebrity residents and could live in relative peace. His refuge would become his place of death. * Record Plant Studio, 321 W. 44th St.: It's here that Lennon recorded albums including "Walls and Bridges" after returning from L.A., cleaned up and sober. It's also here that he held his last recording session on the day he was gunned down. * Central Park and Strawberry Field: Lennon, Ono and their young son Sean often visited the park near their home. It's here that Lennon is memorialized in the Strawberry Fields mosaic, which was dedicated in 1985 on what would have been his 45th birthday. * Smith's Bar & Grill, 701 Eighth Ave.: "LennonNYC" director Michael Epstein said Lennon enjoyed the hamburgers at this oldschool joint in what was then a much seedier stretch of Times Square. * Café La Fortuna, 69 W. 71st St.: This cafe was near his Dakota apartment and was a favorite haunt of the music legend. It survived as a shrine to Lennon's years in New York until its bittersweet cbsing in 2008. A hardware store stands in its place. * Charivari: Lennon shopped at this now shuttered boutique for fancy duds, including a beloved fur coat, according to record producer Jack Douglas. * 92nd Street Y: Lennon and his son Sean swam here, just as countless regular dads did then and still do.

  • While Lennon Wanted Peace for Mankind, Deep Down He Did Not Want Peace in His Own Life, Or Rather, He Was Incapable of Enjoying It
    While Lennon wanted peace for mankind, deep down he did not want peace in his own life, or rather, he was incapable of enjoying it and exploitation. Lennon may have been egotistical but he was compulsive in his public gestures rather than calculating. Granted, he became reclusive in the late 1970s, but when he re-emerged, it was his very desire not to place barriers between himself and the public which proved his undoing. Had he lived, it's probable, judging by the occasionally banal bliss of his later output, that Lennon might not have made much music of worth, that he would have been a museum piece in his own lifetime. But then, who'd have guessed in the late- 1980s, when both Dylan and Bowie's reputations were at their lowest ebb, that over a decade later they'd be praised for making some of the best music of their careers? Had Lennon lived, there would have been further, fascinating convulsions to come. It would have been interesting, also, to see what caustic scorn he might have poured on the Thatcher/Reaganite, greed-is-good era. Lennon's death has at least frozen him in iconic permanence - something many were reminded of when Oasis presented a huge image of the man by Lennon's last days... way of a backdrop to one of their 1990s gigs, John and Yoko outside prompting an outbreak of mass genuflection. the Record Plant, 44th St, NYC, December 1980 His value is as much in his failure as his success - that his idealism and the very counterculture he once fronted seems to have evaporated in these cleverer, But that merely reflects the misplaced register anything like as loudly as Lennon's did across more loveless and hopeless times makes his absence intelligence of modern times and modern stars.

DESCRIPTORS *Bands (Music); Content Analysis; Discographies; *Music; Musicians; *Popular Culture IDENTIFIERS Media History; Music Ensembles; *Rock and Roll; *Rock Music ABSTRACT Based on the argument that (contrary to critical opinion) the musicians in the various bands associated with Bosstown Sound were indeed talented, cohesive individuals and that the bands' lack of renown was partially a result of ill-treatment by record companies and the press, this paper traces the development of the Bosstown Sound from its beginnings in the nightclubs of Boston in 1967 to its end in 1969. In addition, the paper provides complete discographies, including critical commentary, of records produced by bands associated with the Bosstown Sound. The bands of the Bosstown Sound include: The Apple Pie Motherhood Band, The Bagatelle, The Beacon Street Union, Bo Grumpus, Eagle, Earth Opera, Eden's Children, Sure Looks Real, The Ill Wind, Jolliver Arkansaw, Orpheus, Phluph, Puff, and Ultimate Spinach.
