The Missing Voice

This is London reports an interview will be broadcast next month featuring John Lennon harping about McCartney. It's doubtful any new light will be shed on the fractured relationship - he said it all in How Do You Sleep?: So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise You better see right through that mother’s eyes Those freaks was right when they said you was dead The one mistake you made was in your head How do you sleep at night? You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when your momma tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you’re gone you’re just another day How do you sleep at night? But the story sure is a reminder of how much his voice is missed in the current national conversation. Imagine (no pun intended) a sixty-five year old Lennon's take on Iraq. Chapman took a lot more than his music from all of us.
