Remember Lennon

I just picked up John Lennon's Remember at Starbucks (where else? It's not just about coffee anymore, it's the new "lifestyle" store). Remember is a retrospective of John Lennon's solo work and his stuff with the Plastic Ono Band from the 70s. It's totally amazing. I can't put it down. "Jealous Guy," "Instant Karma (We All Shine On)," "Working Class Hero," "Watching the Wheels Go Round," --brilliant songs I'm surprised I don't really remember hearing too much back then. (No wonder, as I listened almost exclusively to Ted Nugent, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jethro Tull in those days.)

But let me be the first to tell you: John Lennon was an incredible musician!
