Classic Albums John Lennon Plastic Ono Band Part 2/4

Series looking at the creation of classic albums documents the making of John Lennon's 1970 first post-Beatles solo album. Regarded as a classic, it is a fierce, raw, emotionally painful yet beautiful album. It contains some of the most personal and cathartic songs John ever wrote including Mother, Love, Working Class Hero , Isolation and God.
Drawing from his painful and difficult early life, the songs address the basic issues of death, isolation, anger, religion, class, fear and love. Most of them were written while John and Yoko were undergoing primal therapy with Dr Arthur Janov at his centre in California to deal with the root causes of their pain and neuroses.

This guys is a Beatles fan, he had been living on the grounds of John's property for a week to try and meet John and this is when they discovered him. He had many questions for John and John was worried about him and tried to explain to him about the songs and then there was a beautiful moment in the full piece where he says to him 'are ya hungry' and brings him in and feeds him... you can see this in the 'Imagine' movie in full.

Isolation is a beautiful song, my favourite song on the album.
