John Lennon - After The Remember [2CD Limited Edition] (1998)

Remember is a 1970 song appearing on John Lennon's first official solo album release, John LennonPlastic Ono Band. The song was influenced by Lennon's primal therapy sessions with Dr Arthur Janov, and the lyrics reflect things typically remembered in therapy. The memories described are unpleasant ones, of conflict with family, authority and peers. Lennon employs his wit, mentioning how the hero was never hung, always got away, and parents wishin' for movie stardom, always playin' a part. On 17 June 1974, Starr called Lennon, who was about to record his Walls and Bridges album, and asked him to write a song he could include on his next album. Lennon wrote what became the title track, Goodnight Vienna. Watch the video for Remember from John Lennon's John LennonPlastic Ono Band for free, and see the.

The lyric refers to Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes night, a British celebration whose origins go back to the early 17th century. On November 5th 1605 Guy Fawkes was discovered hiding in a cellar beneath the Houses of Parliament in close proximity to 20 or more barrels of gunpowder, a length of slow match and a lantern. John Lennon, singer-songwriter-musician and founding member of the Beatles, would have turned 75 on October 9, 2015. Sixteen year-old Lennon formed a band, the Quarry Men, and invited Paul McCartney to join the group after meeting at a local church. Connections soon followed with George Harrison, Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. Buddy Holly's band called the Crickets was inspiration for the subsequent name change to the Silver Beatles from Quarry Men. Two years after the first great Lennon revival - arriving in 1988, as an attempt to deflate Albert Goldman's trash-talking biography - Capitol released Lennon, a four-disc box set summary of his solo career. It does a remarkably good job, providing a thorough overview containing all the hits plus expertly chosen album tracks from his decidedly uneven records. The question is, is Lennon the one collection everybody needs Not really. 1970 studio album by John LennonJohn LennonPlastic Ono BandStudio album by John LennonReleased11 December 1970 1970-12-11Rec. Lennon's experience in primal therapy strongly influenced both the lyrical content of the album, pushing him toward themes of childparent relationships and psychological suffering, and the simple yet intense style of the album's music. Throughout the album Lennon touches on many personal issues: his abandonment by his parents, in Mother the means by which young people are made. On this day in 1980, John Lennon was fatally shot in the back, outside his apartment, The Dakota. In 2004, Dimebag Darrell Abbott was fatally shot onstage in Columbus, Ohio while performing with his brother in their new band, Damageplan. After The Beatles, of course, John continued on into a very fruitful and outspoken solo career which spawned such songs as Instant Karma Working Class Hero and Imagine. Much of John's solo work was a bit unhinged from the pop sensibilities that initially made The Beatles famous. They often provoked and fanned the flames of revolution and free thinking.
