John Lennon - Live in New York city - 2/7

John Lenon y Yoko Ono, con el acompañamiento de la Plastic Ono Elephant's Memory Band, tocaron en un concierto benéfico para reunir fondos para niños mentalmente discapacitados.
-----------------------
Cuando era adolescente y -tras oir hasta el cansancio a los Beatles- al tener que "elegir" entre Paul y John, esta fue la canción que me hizo mucho más fan de John.
-----------------------
The next song is one of those many songs of ours that get banned.
It's something Yoko said to me in 1968.
It took me till 1970 to dig it.
-----------------------
La siguiente canción es una de las muchas canciones nuestras que fueron prohibidas.
Es algo que Yoko me dijo en 1968, y me tomó hasta 1970 entenderlo.

porque se ponen a discutir esas cosas de los titulos :S simplemente los dos eran brillantes en lo que hacian.

Absolutamente de acuerdo contigo punkrotten77... Lo de Lennon o McCartney es una polarización que no le veo ningún sentido.

[piajeno]

Me parece que nunca se editó en DVD, sino más bien en Laserdisc. No obstante, en Amazon puede conseguirse -de segunda mano- el VHS...

@cami156

La cancion se llama: "Woman Is the Nigger of the World"

Tanto escándalo por un título. Carajo, a los gringos toca explicarles todito. No son capaces de entender un puto sarcasmo, tal como es la letra de esta maravillosa canción.

lol what a fuckin nazi racist pig

[tetsuyamichael]

you twats! he is not being racist at all! it's obviously a song against sexism! open your fucking ears and actually listen to the lyrics!

BTW miss you john, even though i was born long after you prematurely left us. oh, what i'd give to see you play...

@undercoverbrother67 I've heard that the people who took offence to it were white. I don't think John was being racist anyway. Sometimes it hard to tell what is racist and what isn't. To me you can right a song about anything as long as it's not directly aimed at groups of people. Then when you think of it although I'm against any kind of racism. How come something like killing people and things that are far worse than rasism are allowed in a song yet this gets banned.

@ElGoodo also the shit he was getting from the US Goverment as well. Not knowing if they were gonna deport him.

[ElGoodo]

What a bold song, I don't think there's another white artist out there alive or dead that would get up on stage and sing a song like that. Just goes to show how brave and honest John's songwriting was.

@Rikubloodplus the song is a lament .... not a commentary about race... another one of John's piercing similes.... he never bandied words. damn genius

[Cathiekjol]

He's not being racist, He's explaining we need to let women break out of the old time roles. Look up the lyrics and read them. He is standing up for women
