Trimming The Musical Fat

34. What If? John Lennon 1980 - 1984


Listen Later

What if John Lennon didn’t release the album ‘Double Fantasy’ in 1980? What if he wasn’t tragically murdered in December of that same year? What if he continued recording into 1981 & released new material then? What if he called that album ‘Watching The Wheels’? And all the songs on the album were his (no Yoko)? What songs would make the cut for an under 50 minute album? That’s the scenario we’ve given ourselves as we take a look at Lennon’s ‘Double Fantasy’ & 1984’s ‘Milk & Honey’. Along the way, we’ll critique each song; share some interesting facts; and play archive interview clips. We also draft in a HUGE Lennon fan: Our Dad! And ask him what it was like hearing that fateful news in Dec 1980 & what made John Lennon his hero. Our guest is The Pablos’ singer & guitarist, Paul Murphy.
