	John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - On Second Thought - Stylus Magazine
		The most lyrically ambitious and beloved song on Plastic Ono Band, “Working Class Hero,” is, like “Woman Is the Nigger of the World” taken at face value and assumed to be the insightful work of “two liberals in the sun,” when it is instead a convoluted guilt trip.
		John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band - John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band
		If Ono had a negative influence on Lennon, however, it was her belief that art should be about the artist.

	Rock Ahead: John Lennon CD - Plastic Ono Band,Double Fantasy
		I would have preferred to hear just John on this album as I feel it lacks continuity but that comment aside, you get 'Woman' and 'Watching The Wheels' - a song that says more about the last few years of Lennon's life than any number of books published following his death in 1980.
		By the time of 'Double Fantasy' Lennon was almost 40 and what you get is an album a 40-year old rock star would make, albeit interspersed with material from Yoko Ono.
		This emphasises even more the sparseness of the Plastic Ono Band album.

	Pearl Jam - Fanviews of New York
		One of my favorite songs not only by John Lennon, but now by PJ.
		Thumbing my way....I was glad that we got this song, because its a nice switch up from the "Elderly Woman" type song and I'd prefer to hear this one because quite honestly I haven't heard it as much as songs like Elderly Woman, etc. Beautifully done tonight.
		I've loved this song since I was like 10...and I saw it at Penn St. when Eddie did it acoustically...but now he did it with the band, and totally rocked out on it...wonderful wonderful version, totally surprised me and I totally loved it!

	Bagism: Albums & Singles: Reviews: Double Fantasy
		This album was meant to be a love story and that's exactly what it is, it's just that alot of people find it hard to relate to it possibly because not every man is married to Yoko Ono and not every woman is married to John Lennon.
		I got this album from the library since I have Lennon Legend and the John Lennon Collection and I was afraid of Yoko's songs.
		The album improves with 'Cleanup Time', a slightly nonsensical cheery song about John and Yoko's love for each other and how while he's been at home,s he's been working ('the queen was in the counting house, the king was in the kitchen, making bread and honey').

	Give Peace a Chance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		"Give Peace a Chance" was a hit song written by John Lennon, and credited as Lennon/McCartney.
		John said, "All we are saying is give peace a chance," spontaneously, but liked the phrase and set it to music for the song.
		Give Peace a Chance was the first single recorded by a solo Beatle, although it only reached number 14 on the pop charts in America and was kept out of the top slot in England by the Rolling Stones' "Honky-Tonk Woman.".

	Ireland's OWN: History
		On the albums "Sgt. Pepper" and "Magical Mystery Tour" (both 1967), John Lennon's lyrics began to turn increasingly surreal ("I Am The Walrus"), as they are influenced by drugs, Eastern culture, and an obvious personal liberation reflected in the liberation of his artistic statement.
		On this album, John penned the famous feminist statement "Woman Is The Nigger of the World" ("We make her bear and raise our children, and then we leave her flat for being a fat old mother hen.
		The 1970 "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" album was a case in point.

	George Harrison / Beatles: Songs & Lyrics
		Colin Hanton (whose membership of the Quarry Men pre-dated both Paul's and George's) and John Lowe (who was recruited principally because he could play Jerry Lee Lewis's exacting arpeggio part in Mean Woman Blues) left soo after the band's one and only recording session, leaving the nucleus, Lennon, McCartney and Harrison, to aim for fame.
		However, when it came to Hamburg audiences, and this recording, the Beatles delivered the song in what John Lennon later described as "a harder version...
		All the recordings of this song were done on the same day, but the version on the album Let It Be featured a lead vocal re-recorded by George on 8 January 1970.

	The Lackloves: The Beat and the Time - PopMatters Music Review
		For another, he has a distinctive voice with that John Lennon-ish rasp to it (come to think of it, he even resembles a young John Lennon some).
		Jarvis captures the sad tale of a woman deluding herself into remembering better times that never were while currently reduced to pathetic performances: "She loves the way they love her / And she's sure they're speaking of her / In a most sincere, and flattering sort of way."
		Having a band full of capable singers enriches a song like "Do You Love Someone?" Sure, it's a pleasant little rocker (co-written by Jarvis and Moore), but when the whole band lets loose singing out the follow-up question "Is it me?" it becomes something more.

	Tower Records - Walking On Thin Ice (Greatest Hits) - Yoko Ono
		WALKING is named after the song Ono and John Lennon were working on the night of Lennon's murder.
		Because Ono was introduced to the general public by such intentionally chaotic Ono/Lennon collaborations as 1968's controversial TWO VIRGINS, public perception of her work is limited to the image of the tiny Japanese woman yowling and ululating over squalling guitar feedback and manipulated tapes.
		WALKING ON THIN ICE, a handy 19-track condensation of 1991's four-disc ONOBOX collection, presents an illuminating and remarkable overview of the solo work of pop music's most misunderstood artist.

		Most Lennon fans have a vague sense of who May Pang is, usually remembering her as John and Yoko's onetime personal assistant and the woman with whom Lennon spent his "lost weekend" in the mid-1970s.
		Pang is the embodiment of class when she talks of her relationship with Lennon.
		Most striking is her alterations to a song penned for Pang, "Surprise, Surprise (Sweet Bird of Paradox)": during the fadeout Ono has added a new voice-over that says "Yoko, I love her," an interesting addition for a work recorded when Ono wasn't even around.

	hip online: artists: miranda lee richards
		When asked to put together the ultimate group of musicians either alive or dead, she harkens back again to 60’s legends and opts for Keith Richards or Brian Jones on guitar, Ray Manzarek on keyboards, John Densmore on drums, Dusty Springfield on back-ups, all performing a song co-written by Miranda and John Lennon.
		To get to know Miranda Lee Richards, leave your stereotypes behind and embrace the idea that a beautiful young woman can also have tremendous strength, intelligence, talent, and a clear idea of who she is and what she wants.
		It is best likened to north and south and the two cities where Miranda Lee Richards has lived her entire life -- San Francisco and Los Angeles.

	John and Yoko's Stocking Shocker
		Ono often says that she feels Lennon's presence as she works, and in this project, the collaboration is pretty cut-and-dried: his song, her video.
		And as Ono and the children's choir break into the chorus of "A very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year War is over if you want it," a Vietnamese woman walks down a muddy road, carrying her dead son, his skin seared off by napalm.
		Lennon and Ono devoted much time in the early '70s to staging protests against the Vietnam war, which famously led to the ex-Beatle's investigation and harassment by the FBI.

	Some Time in New York City - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The opening song of the studio album, "Woman Is the Nigger of the World" (a phrase Ono had coined in the late 1960's), was intended as a negation of sexism and was also issued as a single in the US to controversial reaction, and – as a consequence – little airplay and much banning.
		On 30 August 1972, John Lennon and Yoko Ono performed two charity shows at Madison Square Garden for the mentally challenged at friend Geraldo Rivera's request; the event was called "One to One", and New York mayor John Lindsay declared the date "One to One Day".
		Yoko Ono, very much a feminist supporter, responds musically with "Sisters O Sisters", tackles the lacking education system with "Born in a Prison", and celebrates a culture of one in "We're All Water".

	Nigger - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1972, John Lennon released a song, "Woman is the Nigger of the World", implying that as black people were discriminated against in some countries so were women globally.
		It is a portmanteau of "white" and "nigger".
		Many varieties of flora and fauna are still commonly referred to by terms which include the word "nigger." The nigger-head cactus, which is native to Arizona is round, the size of a cabbage, and covered with large, crooked thorns.
