I know that there a lot of John Lennon/Beatles fans/idolizers on the Forum so this should be great news.On Oct.5 they are releasing a 4 CD set by John called Gimme Some Truth and a multi CD set of all his solo releases as well as studio out takes and never before realeased songs,all remastered-I can't wait,I'll be having both for sure.I don't know why they didn't wait 4 days 'til it would have been his 68th birthday.

I know that you made that comment tongue in cheek but a lot of the criticism she has gotten is undeserved.I know there's the issue of Julian and some others getting the turdy end of the stick but she has also done a lot of charity work and takes part in many purely altruistic endeavours. I have personal experience of her kind heart.Last year after buying my 2 John Lennon guitars I wrote Yoko thanking her for permitting Epiphone to release the John Lennon models as for it was John who inspired me to become a musician and how everything positive that has happened in my life is either directly or indirectly attributable to him.I also wrote a lot of perrsonal sentiment that I won't go into.I mailed the letter and thought no more of it until some weeks later I received a letter from Studio One in NY and inside was a letter from Yoko thanking me for my kind words about John and an autographed picture -signed To Derek Love Yoko-of the Montreal Bed -in for peace.I don't think that many people with such busy lives would take the time to sit down and write a personal letter to just another fan.No matter what people say about her she does have a kind heart.BTW the proceeds from the John Lennon guitars goes to a fund set up in John's memory to aid talented underprivileged musicians who can't afford formal musical instruction.

Very Cool, I'm a big fan of the Beatles and John, Paul, George and Ringo as solo artists.

Yoko has done a great job keeping John's music alive. I really don't think money has anything to do with it.

"i know that you made that comment tongue in cheek".....
yes i did in a way. honestly, never seen what people saw in john.
yes he did well in/with the beatles but his solo work...............
but hey, some of the folks i admire you would feel the same way towards im sure.
his political and christain views really got to me to be honest.
i wont get into either of those as this site is about guit-fiddles and the likes.

hey its all good. if the shoe was on the other foot and i had come up with it, yep i would have said it too lol.
i tend to be a smartazz sometimes in a joking sort of way, as you see with my first reply to this post. i try not to get that way here as nobody knows me and knows that i kid around sometimes to much lol.
your reply was dead on and i loved it. a taste of my own meds
ya know lol.......bitter sweet. :D
