John Lennon Lost Tapes Dakota Recording Take One www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODE0L2brq2U&NR=1"About This Video This is a recording from 1979 of Lennon trying to make a audio biography he gets bored after a couple of minutes and starts talking about Mccartney,Jagger,Dylan & Paul Simon .These words from Lennon seem to contradict himself, he calls the above mentiond names company men while at the time in his so called 5 years of none creativity he was working on new material and making plans of getting back into the buisness. Also note here his unhealthy sexual interest as a teenager towards his mother . Basically this recording sounds just like a unemployed person sitting at his window watching his neighbours go to work 'slightly bitter' maybe. Judge for yourself " ------------------- John Lennon Gone From This Place Lost Tapes Dakota Demo www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFx7zGjfeJg |

Thanks for the links! As excited as I am to listen to these, I'll have to postpone it until tomorrow--I don't know if I can stay awake long enough to do it tonight and get through the rest of the threads!! ;D

That first link it amazing and super interesting, thanks so much for posting it! Fascinating and stream-of-consciousness-y, isn't it?
Ahahahaha. The bagpipes made me giggle. Completely out of nowhere. Interesting comments on Paul changing or at least his feelings toward Paul changing... perhaps contributing to the multi-Faul theory? I don't know. Or maybe just something about how he had come to accept Faul as JPM, but, upon thinking about it, he realized again just how messed up the situation was and that Faul can never truly replace Paul, hence the personal distance that he says is developing more.
...the mother comments were... odd....
I don't even understand the McCartney, Jagger, et al comments at the end... I don't get what he is saying.

He says that they (McCartney, Dylan, Jagger, et al.) were all "company men", meaning, I guess,
that they went along with what the bosses wanted, trying to hang on to fame and fortune.
"So here we sit watching the mighty Dylan, and the mighty McCartney, and the mighty Jagger
slide down the mountain....lead and blood in their nails.
Well that's the way the world is."

Ahhhh, thank you! I don't think I've ever heard that term used before, so I was like, "Eh?" Hm, well, that's certainly what Faul was doing, that's for sure. That seems like a direct reference to our mystery to me, which is interesting, because I find that things are usually so much more subtle! Such an interesting link, thanks for sharing it (and clarifying what the heck the last part meant to clueless little ol' me! ;D ).

In the U.S. a "company man" works for the CIA. I don't know what the phrase means to Sir Paul, but I gleeping know what it means here. -j |

I don't know what the phrase means to Sir Paul, but I gleeping know what it means here. -j From Wikipedia- "Company Man" also is a term relating to a "Yes" Man, or someone who will do anything demanded of them by those who are supervising them. This term originated in the military where groups or divisions of soldiers were called "companies," thus the term Company. The term has since been used in the private sector as a term to demean someone who is well liked by their superiors and often gets better or lighter jobs than the rest of their co-workers. I would guess that is what John Lennon would have been referring to in his statement. |

Hm... "yes" man... seeing that prompted me to look up the wiki article for the band "Yes"... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yes_(band)too early to elaborate right now, but the article does get VERY interesting in spots... for whoever has the time/interest. |
