No es la versión del lp rock'n'roll. y A 94GeorgeS: No se puede decir que Lennon fuera un hipócrita, el siempre fué muy sincero.No descuidó Julian, se divorció y se volvió a casar, como tantos.La maldición de los lennons es crecer sin padre; le pasó a él, y a sus hijos.
@whitiedos There's alot more to it than that. You make it sound so simple -- it wasn't. The whole situation is too complex to understand over a short period of time,, if at all. He was a complex man who was fucked up from his parents. There's so many different factors to why he neglected Julian and Cynthia. I think it's wrong how he did that, but you make it sound like he was just an arrogant asshole - which he was not.
@whitiedos Hypocrite? I don't recall Lennon ever calling himself a saint, in fact a lot of his songs are about his struggles with life. Lennon was an asshole and admitted it, McCartney was an asshole, but hid behind his goody two-shoes persona he made up in front of the cameras.
It's an alt take, yes. I think it's on the reissued (expanded) CD release of the album. I like it but it hasn't quite got the swing and feel of the take which was on the vinyl album. It's still pretty damn fine!
Does anyone out there know who's playing guitar on this?
@Lapensee80 I love John! Im dacing around the house to this while I can. Otherwise my uncle will probably get pissed. He hates like all music lol This song is amazing! I will listen to John 80 years from now when im 94! lol im probably wont live to be that old though lol.

Had a good Beatle voice, but for 50's Rock N' Roll, it lacked the sincererity needed.

Does anyone out there know who's playing guitar on this?
