Revisit John and Yoko's love affair and startling collaborations with this book. John Lennon's Plastic Ono Band was arguably the most emotionally honest album ever made. It wasn't merely another record but more like a sonicexorcism, a spiritual, public bloodletting. This album drove a stake through the heart of the Beatles' myth while confronting everything else in John's life, from Dylan to God to his glorified status as a working class hero.Determined to rid himself of past traumas - abandonment by his father and the death of his mother, Julia - Lennon wrote the most powerful song cycle of his career, confronting fear, disappointment, and illusion, all the whileespousing his love for Yoko Ono. Released simultaneously, Ono's album Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono is emotionally raw and challenging. It inspired bands like the B-52s and Yo La Tengo to employ pure sound, whether shrieking vocals orguitar feedback, to express their deepest feelings.
