“Lennon Naked” airs tomorrow
Written by admin on June 22, 2010 – 9:58 pm -Fans of John Lennon who live in the UK will be interested in a 90-minute drama about his solo years that is airing tomorrow night (June 23) on BBC 4. “Lennon Naked” stars Christopher Eccleston as John Lennon.

Writer Robert Jones and director/producer Edward Coulthard avoided interviewing those close to Lennon and instead relied on existing interviews with dozens of individuals, as well as press conferences and chat shows with Lennon himself. We are told that this was to avoid the drama being based on any one, subjective account. A cynic might say that the high profile individuals simply wouldn’t have made themselves available. |

$1.2 million for Lennon’s “A Day in the Life” lyrics
Written by admin on June 18, 2010 – 9:01 pm -John Lennon’s handwritten lyrics to “A Day in the Life” have sold at auction in New York for $1.2 million (£809,000). They were expected to fetch $500,000-$700,000. The lyrics were purchased via phone by a private American collector.
The auction lot comprised two complete sets of the lyrics written in black felt marker and blue ballpoint pen. One is Lennon’s original first draft and the other, written mostly in capital letters, was most likely prepared for use in the recording studio.
