 Music as Therapy: Lyrical Reflections of Abandonment in the music or John Lennon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Everett postulates that perhaps Lennon was alluding to Freud’s theory that “…art is an expression of the cognitive dissonance caused by unacceptable wishes.” If this is the case, Lennon is attributing his artistic output, and eventual stardom to his abandonment.
Another song that contains elements of abandonment, without the presence of Julia’s death, is “This Boy.” In spite of Lennon’s remarks that the lyrics mean nothing, the sentiment of the text rings loudly as a reaction to losing his mother to her second husband.
Lennon realizes that his relationship with his mother was imbalanced, and his feelings can never be reciprocated.

 WALRUSGUMBOOT: John Lennon Lives Forever   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Lennon had constructed the Beatles -- the group that in its time meant everything -- and then in his work after he left the band, he had strived for an honesty and an idealism that was unlike anything rock & roll had produced before.
Lennon's first diversions came in the way of drug experiences -- a pursuit that he shared with the other Beatles, as their experiments with marijuana, then LSD, affected the growth of their music on Rubber Soul, Revolver and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band -- followed by a devotion to Eastern mysticism and meditation.
In November 1966, during the recording of Sgt. Pepper, Lennon visited London's Indica Gallery for a preview of an exhibition by Yoko Ono, a Japanese-born woman who had been a key player in New York's influential Fluxus avant-garde art movement in the early 1960s (she had helped conceive performance art).

 Emcee's LENNON review
With Lennon, it was very obvious that the politics of Lennon's time were being transplanted and translated to be impactful to a current audience in this political climate, but to be perfectly honest, I thought "Give Peace a Chance" was very, very powerful.
As a long time Lennon fan, I have read a lot and the honest position is, in those later years Yoko IS that important to his life, she completed his mystery so if the show did not focus on her it would be doing him a diservice.
Lennon Legend is a really great album -- I found out my dad already had it after we saw the show in SF, so I made him send it to me. I think that the song choices they chose to represent in the musical were really great choices.
