the part at the end where that accordion starts playing then abruptly cuts off always creeps me out. Joe from Los Angeles, Cayeah, john should've included this on 'plastic ono band'.it would have fit right in next to 'well,well,well'.
Nathan from Defiance, OhJohn probaly could have meant Cold Turkey as quiting anything tough, like the Beatles.Ryan from Lakewood, OhI like the live version of this with Frank Zappa on 'Sometime in New York City/Live Jam'.John from Woburn, MaNot hard to see why the other beatles, especially paul, didn't want it on an album.John was stretching the limit with songs like "come together", "Iwant you", and "dont let me down" but finally the beatles put their foot (feet) down.But I think a deeper sense of audio bedlam was created in the early seventies when songs like these came out. John was a master of confusing his listeners through the lyrics of songs like I am the Walrus and Strawberry Fields Forever. CT and God come across much more like psychiatric sessions in that Lennon is totally enveloped in his own battle for peace: unmasked, unclothed and unhappy.
When I hear GPAC and Imagine, I see a masked Lennon, setting an example, stepping out of his own element to convey a message for the world around him.

FZ and the Mothers play on "Well (Baby Please Don't Go)", "Jamrag", "Scumbag" and "Au". Robert from Cambridge, NyThe live version on "Sometime In New York City" is great, however, Frank Zappa is not on this track. Krista from Elyria, OhThis song is great! One of the very few when I think Yoko joins in, but we can't here her! HA!. Ian from Lethbridge, CanadaGreat song. Adrienne from Caldwell, NjThis song makes me sad.it makes me want to give John a hug. But I do want to thank Yoko for motivating him to get off the hard stuff. Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn December 15th 1969, UNICEF held a 'Peace For Christmas' charity concert at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, the concert featured the live debut performance by the Plastic Ono Band, and it was also the last stage appearance by John Lennon in the United Kingdom.Īt the time the POB's "Cold Turkey" was at #35 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart just under four weeks later on January 11th, 1970 it would peak at #30 for one week I know right? you just want to stay with him the whole time.
