Episode 115: John Lennon In 1975 (Part 2 of 2)
And so we bring to an end Glass Onion’s 7th year… John Lennon’s 1975 is mostly remembered for being the year that he became a father for the second time and dropped out of the music biz for 5 years, apparently to become the most famous househusband in the world (the jury’s still out on that one). Before he did that though, he front-loaded the year with the usual frenetic activity you’d expect from a year in the life of our hero. There were albums and singles of his own, musical collaborations with others, his final ever live appearance, interviews for TV, radio and print, lots of written letters to friends and family, some Beatle contact, a public appearance here and there, lawsuits and his ongoing fight with America’s powers that (probably shouldn’t) be. Oh, and he also found time for a sudden change in his lovelife, his past lover quickly consigned to (Lennon) history.
