John Lennon, Pt. 1
Hello -
It feels good to finally get into the John Lennon series.
There’s some John history in this, but it really isn’t a historical episode. It’s about a young John Lennon and his relationship with music. We go back to the experiences that shaped him and the songs that lit a fire in him as an angsty Liverpool teenager.
We get into why he fell so hard for rock ‘n’ roll, what his mother had to do with it, what drove him, and what he did with all that fire. Along the way, we look at some of John’s earliest songs—their influences, their originality, their connections to his mother and what they tell us about the songwriter he was becoming.
Long live John Lennon
Enjoy
