JOHN LENNON: A MAN AND ARTIST UNFULFIILLED? Streszczenie: Niniejszy esej jest próbą syntetycznego, poniekąd psychoanalitycznego, ujęcia biografii Johna Lennona, zarówno jako ewidentnie zagubionego geniu- sza muzyki popularnej, jak i ofiary chłopięcego kompleksu zaniedbania przez uwielbianą matkę – później wysublimowanego w kompleks kobiecej dominacji i przeniesionego na Yoko Ono, jego drugą żonę i awangardową „muzę.” W re- zultacie ich związek, w znacznym stopniu wyidealizowany przez media, został ukazany w kontekście relacji Lennona z innymi kobietami (na przykład z ciotką Mimi), sprzecznych cech jego osobowości oraz ewolucji światopoglądowej i ar- tystycznej, która doprowadziła najpierw do dramatycznego rozdarcia między popowym supergwiazdorstwem a awangardowym artystostwem, ostatecznie zaś – do faktycznej niemocy twórczej w ciągu ostatnich pięciu lat życia. Per- John Lennon – człowiek i artysta niespełniony? spektywę komparatystyczną dla tych rozważań wyznaczać będą biografie Elvisa Presleya i Micka Jaggera. Słowa kluczowe: kompleks, trauma, dominacja, „krzyk pierwotny”, gwiaz- dorstwo, artyzm, niespełnienie Summary: In this essay, the author attempts at a synthetic insight into the biography of John Lennon, both as a confused genius of popular music and a victim of the childhood complex of motherly neglect: later transformed into the one of female domination and transferred onto Yoko Ono, his second wife and avant-garde “muse.” Consequently, their marriage, largely idealized by media, is shown here in the context of Lennon’s relations with other women (mainly his mother and aunt Mimi), his contradictory psychological traits and artistic/ ideological evolution that resulted in being torn between pop superstardom, avant-garde artistry and, in last five years, virtual creative impotence.

This continues to be part of Paul’s repertoire for his live shows. George Harrison – All Those Years Ago This particular track is a puzzle still somewhat unsolved. Originally written for Ringo with different lyrics, (which Ringo didn’t think was right for him), the lyrics were rewritten after John Lennon’s murder. Although Ringo did provide drums, there is a dispute as to whether Paul, Linda and Denny did backing vocals at Friar Park, or in their own studio – hence phoning it in. But Paul insists that he had asked George to play on his own track, Wanderlust, for the Tug Of War album. Having arrived at George’s Friar Park estate, they instead focused on backing vocals for All Those Years Ago. It became George’s biggest hit in 8 years, just missing the top spot on the charts. 3 2.12 BREAK/OPEN Start with songs John liked….

Innovators: Songwriters David Galenson NBER Working Paper No. 15511 November 2009 JEL No. N00 ABSTRACT Irving Berlin and Cole Porter were two of the great experimental songwriters of the Golden Era. They aimed to create songs that were clear and universal. Their ability to do this improved throughout much of their careers, as their skill in using language to create simple and poignant images improved with experience, and their greatest achievements came in their 40s and 50s. During the 1960s, Bob Dylan and the team of John Lennon and Paul McCartney created a conceptual revolution in popular music. Their goal was to express their own ideas and emotions in novel ways. Their creativity declined with age, as increasing experience produced habits of thought that destroyed their ability to formulate radical new departures from existing practices, so their most innovative contributions appeared early in their careers.

  • Beatles History – Part One: 1956–1964
    BEATLES HISTORY – PART ONE: 1956–1964 January 1956–June 1957: The ‘Skiffle Craze’ In January 1956, Lonnie Donegan’s recording of “Rock Island Line” stormed into the British hit parade and started what would become known as the ‘skiffle craze’ in Great Britain (vgl. McDevitt 1997: 3). Skiffle was originally an amateur jazz style comprising elements of blues, gospel, and work songs. The instrumentation resembled New Or- leans street bands called ‘spasms,’ which relied on home-made instru- ments. Before skiffle was first professionally recorded by American jazz musicians in the 1920s and 1930s, it had been performed at ‘rent parties’ in North American cities like Chicago and Kansas City. Many African- American migrant workers organized rent parties in order to raise money for their monthly payments (vgl. Garry 1997: 87). Skiffle provided the musical entertainment at these parties, as everybody was able to partici- pate in the band, which usually consisted of home-made acoustic guitars or a piano backed by a rhythm section of household instruments, such as a washboard, a washtub bass, and a jug (vgl. McDevitt 1997:16). Jazz trumpeter and guitarist Ken Colyer pioneered the skiffle scene in Great Britain. In 1949, he formed the Crane River Jazz Band in Cran- ford, Middlesex, together with Ben Marshall (guitar), Pat Hawes (wash- board), and Julian Davies (bass). Their repertoire included skiffle songs “to illustrate aspects of the roots of jazz and to add variety to a pro- gramme” (Dewe 1998: 4). After leaving the group in 1951, Colyer mi- grated to the United States to work with jazz musicians in New Orleans.

  • Pop Stars Revealed at Christie's South Kensington
    For Immediate Release 19 April 2006 Contact: Rhiannon Bevan-John 020.7752.3120 [email protected] POP STARS REVEALED AT CHRISTIE’S SOUTH KENSINGTON IN MAY Pop Memorabilia Thursday, 25 May 2006 at 2pm South Kensington – The first Pop Memorabilia sale of 2006 at Christie's South Kensington on 25 May offers over 350 lots spanning 1950s to the present day relating to famous names such as Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, The Who, Bob Marley, The Sex Pistols, Madonna and Oasis. One of the most popular sales on the Christie’s South Kensington auction calendar, the sale is estimated to fetch in excess of £320,000. John Lennon and The Beatles Leading the sale is an exciting Beatles section, the highlight of which is two intimate letters from the late John Lennon which provide a revealing insight into his personal and family life. Written only a year apart, they show how his relationship with his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, soured after he was reunited with his second wife, Yoko Ono, in 1975 (estimate: £10,000-15,000). The tone of the second letter is completely at odds with the first and contradicts the account in Cynthia's recent memoir, in which she suggested that it was Yoko who had persuaded John to break off contact with her and Julian (estimate: £10,000-15,000). Other Beatle highlights include a shirt worn by John Lennon throughout 1963-64, most famously at the recording session for She Loves You, 1963 (estimate: £8,000-12,000) and the contact sheet of photographs of John Lennon taken by Bob Freeman for the cover of Lennon's book In His Own Write, 1964 (estimate £1,500-2,500).

    anchor.fm/saltyazisiz JOHN LENNON – SON RÖPORTAJ 23 Aralık 2010, Rolling Stone Dergisi https://www.rollingstone.com/feature/john-lennon-the-last-interview-179443/ “Double Fantasy” beş yıldır yaptığın ilk kayıt ve şarkından alıntı yaparak söylersek, “John & Yoko’nun Balladı”. İkinizin de geri dönmesi çok güzel. Ama toplumdan koptuğum ilüzyonu bir şaka. Sadece sizlerden biri gibiydim; dokuzdan beşe çalışıyordum- ekmek yapıyordum ve bebek bezi değişip bebekle ilgileniyordum. İnsanlar sorup duruyor: “Neden yeraltına kaçtın, neden saklandın? Ama hayır saklanmıyordum. Singapur’a, Güney Afrika’ya, Hong Kong’a, Bermuda’ya gittim. Kanlı evrende her yere gittim. Ve sıradan şeyler yaptım, sinemaya gittim. Ama o yıllar boyunca pek de şarkı yazmıyordun? Lanet olası bir tek şey yazmadım… Biliyorsun, bizim için bebek sahibi olmak çok büyük olaydı, insanlar bunun için ne kadar çok uğraştığımızı, kaç kere düşük yaptığımızı ve Yoko için ölüme yakın tablolar yaşadığımızı unutabilirler …. Sonunda bir ölüdoğana sahip olduğumuzu ve uyuşturucuyla ilgili problemlerimiz, bizim kendimizden kaynaklı ve de arkadaşlarımız sayesinde kişisel ve toplumsal pek çok problemimiz olduğunu… Ama her neyse… Kendimizi stresli durumların içine soktuk fakat 10 yıldır sahip olmak için çabaladığımız çocuğu yapmayı başardık ve Tanrım, bunu mahvetmeyecektik. 1 yıl hiçbir yere kıpırdamadık. Ve televizyondaki gri saçlı bayanla yoga yaptım. Gerçekten kazanamazsın. İnsanlar seni yazmadığın ve kayıt yapmadığın için eleştirdi ama bazen, bundan önceki 3 albümünün – “Some Time in New York City”, “Walls and Bridges” ve “Rock ‘N’ Roll”un, evrensel olarak övgü toplamadığını bazen unutuyorlar… Özellikle de “Attica State,” “Sunday Bloody Sunday” ve “Woman Is the Nigger of the World” gibi şarkıları içeren propaganda albümün Some Time in New York City’i… Evet, o herkesi gerçekten üzen albümdü.

    1 1 2 REMEMBERING JOHN LENNON 2012 W/GUEST MICKY DOLENZ 9AM 2 3 The Beatles - In My Life - Rubber Soul (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocals: John with Paul Recorded October 18, 1965 and written primarily by John, who called it his “first real major piece of work.” Of all the Lennon-McCartney collaborations only two songs have really been disputed by John and Paul themselves -- “Eleanor Rigby” and “In My Life.” Both agree that the lyrics are 100% Lennon, but John says Paul helped on the musical 3 4 bridge, while Paul recalls writing the entire melody on John’s Mellotron. The gorgeous piano solo is provided by George Martin. To give his solo a harpsichord sound the producer played the piano at half speed and an octave lower so that when played at regular speed it would be in the correct key for the song. On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP The Beatles - Across The Universe - Let It Be (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded February 8, 1968 for The World Wildlife Fund charity LP…Spike Milligan from the Goon Show. Prior to leaving for an extended trip to India to study Transcendental Meditation in early 1968, the Beatles recorded several new songs to fill the sides of their upcoming single, which would be released while they were away. John had originally wanted his new composition, “Across The Universe,” for the A-side of the single but was still not happy with the mix of the song. When the Beatles sat down to decide which two of their new recordings should be used, John preferred “Across the Universe” remain on the shelf for the time being, giving Paul’s more commercial “Lady Madonna” the A-side.
