Tuesday, November 5, 2024: TWOfer Tuesday - The "John Lennon Understands Me" Edition

It takes a long gone Brit to really express what I'm feeling about today. 

 I'm sick and tired of hearing things
From uptight, short-sighted, narrow-minded hypocritics
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

I've had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of hope
Money for dope
Money for rope
Oooh oh

No short-haired, yellow-bellied, son of Tricky Dicky
Is going to Mother Hubbard soft soap me
With just a pocketful of soap
Money for dope
Money for rope

I'm sick to death of seeing things
From tight-lipped, condescending, mama's little chauvinists
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth, now

I've had enough of watching scenes
With schizophrenic, egocentric, paranoiac, prima-donnas
All I want is the truth, now-now
Just give me some truth

All I want is the truth, now
Just give me some truth, now
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
All I want is the truth

 

Tonight I'll be glued to the television, but really all I'm doing is watching the wheels go round and round. 

 

Thursday, July 26, 2012: Julian Lennon - Valotte

"I know a lot of people compare me to my father. It drives me mad sometimes, thinking about it. I just want people to judge the music without prejudice. Sure, we sound alike. I open my mouth and that's what comes out. I don't force it. I didn't study my father's sound. It's all natural. I've been through periods when I was confused and didn't know what to do. I've made mistakes. It's just living, that's all" -Julian Lennon
