I suppose this peace song will still be ignored in 40 years time by
all world leaders and be laughed at as a silly dream of a silly leftist…

After leaving music behind him for five years in order to be as much as possible with his son Sean, immortal rock & pop legend JOHN LENNON went back in the studio, with the love of his life Yoko Ono for what became his final longplayer.
DOUBLE FANTASY was released 40 years ago on 17 November 1980. It wasn’t his best work but so special just because it was his last gift to his countless fans all over the globe.
Only three weeks after the LP’s release the working class hero was killed cowardly by Mark Chapman. Lennon was, unquestionably, my favorite Beatle, he was the rocker. As part of the Fab Four, he changed pop, along with his twin songwriter buddy Macca. And let’s not forget he became an influential peace activist, under the influence of Yoko.

British post-punk duo DEUX FURIEUSES celebrates the immortal icon
John Lennon‘s 80th birthday (born 9 October 1940) with a riveting
cover of his plain-spoken protest song Gimme Some Truth from
1971 album Imagine.
A song that fits this loud and clear duo like a glove.
“Here is our cover of ‘Gimme Some Truth’ by John Lennon who
inspired us to play music and see through the hypocrites and the
fuckers. Happy Birthday, John, you thought tricky dicky was bad.”
I’ve had enough of reading things
By neurotic, psychotic, pig-headed politicians
All I want is the truth
Just give me some truth
Right here…

Immortal singer-songwriter genius JOHN LENNON was born in Liverpool 80 years ago,
on 9 October 1940 and his son SEAN, the only child he had with YOKO ONO (who’s 87), was born 45 years later on the same day as his dad. Happy birthday to both Lennons.
To celebrate his father’s 80th birthday Sean covered ISOLATION, one of the highlights of his world famous dad’s solo debut album titled John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band which was released almost 50 years ago, on 11 December 1970.
It’s really incredible how Sean’s voice resembles his father’s vox. They are truly family…

2019 wasn’t a great year for humankind. It was a year in which sexism, racism, inequality, intolerance and egoism were the big winners, supported and promoted by many populist politicians who invent imaginary enemies in order to make their very own people anxious, fearful and confused, so they can profile themselves as the miraculous supermen and the great saviors of all evil and control all human minds. My greatest fear for the future is that the ongoing process of brainwashing will expand extremely and lead to even more human dramas as we already experience for some time now.
Many will laugh as I say that JOHN LENNON and his PLASTIC ONO BAND were right all the time when singing ‘GIVE PEACE A CHANCE’. All sorts of unscrupulous opportunists, greedy businessmen and corrupt politicians reject peace and solidarity because they cannot make fortunes with it, nor gain the total power that is needed to suppress a population. History showed from day one that war only causes humane destruction!
Peace is the only way to survive!
I hope it gets a chance in 2020…

The British people were scandalously lied to back in 2016 and are still deceptively manipulated today. They deserve another chance to express their opinion about
Europe. Have a listen to a real British hero, Mister ‘Me Myself And I‘ Prime Minister…

Time to tell the truth to the people…
