3. nowhere man

(Lennon/McCartney)

He's a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command

He's as blind as he can be
Just sees what he wants to see
Nowhere Man can you see me at all?

Nowhere Man, don't worry
Take your time, don't hurry
Leave it all till somebody else lends you a hand

Doesn't have a point of view
Knows not where he's going to
Isn't he a bit like you and me?

Nowhere Man, please listen
You don't know what you're missing
Nowhere Man, the world is at your command

He's a real Nowhere Man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody

6. Could anyone have "imagined" ...

... someone worse than Nixon (so far as creating a Constitutional crisis).

4. George Bush channeling John Lennon

Starts off kind of slow, but very much worth watching

7. 26 Things I Miss About John Lennon

Turn Me On, Dead Man: 26 Things I Miss About John Lennon 26 Years Later by RJ Eskow

1. That screaming wail that opens "Mr. Moonlight"

2. The way his primal album anticipated punk music

3. How cool he looked chewing gum on stage

4. Playing the organ with his elbow when I saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium for my 13th birthday

5. Putting words from "The Tibetan Book of the Dead" to music ... in 1966

6. Not being afraid to appear ridiculous in pursuit of a good cause

7. Always being willing to care too much, rather than too little

8. Embodying the very opposite of "ironic detachment," which has been the definition of what it means to be "hip" for far too long (see #7 above)

9. ... thereby being the inspiration for Kurt Cobain (see #7, #8 above)

10. Being publicly insecure ("I'm a good guitar player," he said in an interview. "I know I'm not technically that great, but Clapton says I'm good")

11. Writing simple sounding but deceptively complicated melodies

12. The fact that "Sexy Sadie" was originally called "Maharishi" (explains a lot, doesn't it?)

13. Using Asian scales in songs like "Oh My Love"

14. Writing a song about karma - and then having Phil Spector produce it

15. His feelings about Yoko - theirs is one of the great love stories of all time

16. That line from "Backbeat," which I have the feeling he probably really said to Astrid: "I'm not angry, sister, I'm desperate"

17. Having the greatest voice in rock and roll

18. That 3/4-size Rickenbacker (if anybody wants to buy me one, I'll send you my address)

19. That single-cutaway Les Paul Junior (see #18, above)

20. John, I forgive you the whole "Revolution" thing (especially "out, in" - we were all confused then)

21. His dedication to honesty

22. Being an proto-rapper ("Give Peace a Chance")

23. Being prepared to go to Memphis and march with the laundry and restaurant workers who were out on strike (as he was reportedly about to do at the time of his death)

24. The last line in "Working Class Hero," which was something of a "Twilight Zone" ending: "If you want to be a hero, then just follow me" ...

25. Adopting New York City as his home, and living there until the end

26. Embracing each new passion without hesitation, even if it contradicted the one that preceded it. "the way to know God," said Van Gogh, "is to love many things." (sorry, John!)
