Wow. What a fantastic article... and will be forwarded to my entire email list of about 40 or so friends/family/acquaintances.

I have a very long solo John Lennon playlist (almost two hours, and does not even include his Beatles tracks... which I have as a separate playlist) that I probably end up listening to every month or so. Now, I will cherish that playlist even more than I already do (which I never thought was possible). I was actually unfamiliar with those Lennon quotes. Thanks for the education.

Don't wanna be too nerdy but as the text is for your book I think I may have spotted a possible edit:

"enduring the same hardships undiverted by a wall of riches or a mote of creature comforts,"

instead of mote did you mean "moat"?

Looking forward to publication.

Loved this piece Fish - Lennon was always a great hero of ours growing up. Antiestablishment and loved by the youth he was a danger to America’s war, hence America v Lennon.

Ironic that his talented (and no doubt expensive) legal team kept him in only to be assassinated 4 years later. “Give peace a chance” he said -

America won.
