Thank you to our patron Scott for this amazing choice... it's just a fantastic song and video combo. They both add so much to each other. John was a creative juggernaut that just felt so deeply, yet didn't show it on the outside much. Here, you can see the happiness and love shine through him and its a beautiful thing. Thank you scott.

I was 16 and a Beatlemaniac from birth according to my folks (1964) in Berkeley, California; a vert fun, colorful place back then. My girlfriend called hysterical with the news and we spent the rest of the day and late into the night simply hugging each other and crying our eyes out. I remember it like it was yesterday and it kills me.

When John first moved to New York in 1971, he lived on Bank Street in the village and later moved to the Dakota, which is directly across the street from Central Park. I grew up in the same neighborhood just two blocks from where he lived so I used to see him walking in the neighborhood all the time and actually met him twice. I never asked him for an autograph, which, as you can see, he would’ve gladly signed. I don’t know why but for some reason, I felt it was inappropriate . As you can see from the video, he carried himself with humor and grace.

That's the best combo a person could have. Funny and gracious. There isn't many of them out there! John was a real person who happened to become one of the biggest artists of all time. He was still a man at heart though. A lot of modern celebrities are just walking, talking corporate ideology billboards. Who are so out of touch with reality they don't see the walls coming down around them. They hate the thing that gave them the ability to be stars in the first place. I'm all for change and things being better for everyone but not this cyber corporate dystopia where "everyone is equal" and "I'm doing my part!" 🤣 here's your ribbon. Sorry that got off topic. That's amazing you saw him. I would have asked. I'm not gonna lie lol

His journey was so authentic,we didn’t expect perfection from our artists. We wanted honestly, pain,anger, confusion,sillyness ,emotional growth ,and Music Music Music. he gave us all he wanted- we wanted more but it was his life experience. I wanted him to tell me what to expect. The night he was murdered I was destroyed, I walked out of a club in shock went home and fell into sobbing mourning with my roommates. I knew the 80s was doomed. If you want to hear a beautiful honest song that was the first time I heard a vulnerable man in Rock. ❤️JEALOUS GUY❤️ He loved NY ! He & Yoko found a home . The songs he wrote for her Beautiful!

You are right, guy. He was more than a star or celebrity, he was truly loved by many millions. I will never forget how we heard Howard Cosell announce his death during a Monday night football game. Which is why the song, Starting Over, climbing the charts after his hiatus, always breaks me up. So excited that he was back! And then he was taken away.

Yoko introduced him to New York and he loved it. He said it reminded him of Liverpool. He did a fund raiser for John Sinclair, a New Yorker who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for marijuana possession. He was released the day after the concert. As a result, the Nixon administration considered John Lennon a threat and repeatedly tried to get him deported. He successfully fought it and stayed there, with the exception of his "lost weekend" in LA which lasted a year and a half or so, until the day he died. God, I miss that man. We can only imagine the wonderful music and art the world has lost.

Hey Lee! Nice reaction my friend. John loved NYC. He spoke once in an Andy Peables interview taken only a day before his assassination of how NY was 24\7 and had his kind of energy. Ironically he also spoke of how safe he felt there. He said he felt comfortable going to restaurants there without being bugged. He said mostly the people will just wave and give smiles of recognition. What a dark night that was. I still miss him

The video was filmed in Central Park, his apt was on W 72nd St & Strawberry Fields is in the park right across from The Dakota. He loved NY & we loved him. Still do.

'I knew he was in the know..' that's what I thought when I heard this song, "Instant Karma" and "Imagine". I never realised how spiritual John and George was until I heard their songs and watched interviews they gave about spirituality. They "Really" understood the meaning of life and what we are, which is, pure love, peace and joy. I would not be surprised if the Beatles were put here to spread "peace and love" in order to advance our consciousness. Great reaction Lee!

So cool that you reacted to the music video instead of just the song . The song is awesome, a true classic, but the video adds so much more context. I posted the following comment to the official music video a few years ago on December 8, 2020. I figure I'd copy it here to give you an idea of how the world felt when we realized John was gone. Here it is: I remember watching Monday Night Football 40 years ago today, December 8, 1980. The Miami Dolphins vs The New England Patriots. I remember rooting for one team, although I cant remember which, because it had some sort of potential playoff implications for my Buffalo Bills. Towards the end of the regulation game, a scroll came across the bottom of the screen saying a former Beatle had been shot in NYC. It didn't say who, or what kind of physical condition they were in. Immediately, I thought of Paul McCartney. Paul had been busted for Marijuana possession in Japan earlier that year, and although improbable, the only thing I could think of was maybe some kind of drug deal gone bad. I remember hoping he'd be okay. Then, a short while later, Howard Cosell interrupted the game and said it was John Lennon, that he had been shot in the back, that he was rushed to the hospital, and that he was pronounced dead on arrival. I remember standing up from my chair in disbelief. All of a sudden, this game that meant so much to me only moments earlier meant absolutely nothing. The impact of knowing the Beatles would never, ever reunite was overwhelming. And that a man of peace was so brutally gunned down for no apparent reason was really unbearable at the time. My heart goes out to his family on this sad anniversary. Rest in Peace John Lennon. Peace

I once stayed for a while in a place about two blocks from the Dakota. Spent a lot of time in Central Park and I even ran into Yoko a couple times at that little memorial park that she did. Hey man, I have followed your channel for a while, and something just clicked just now. If you haven't done his hit Cold Turkey yet, you absolutely absolutely absolutely have to. I can tell that you like him, but given your past experience, which probably wasn't exactly like his, I'm not saying that, but given your past experience, I am positive your respect for him will shoot through the roof. It's a great song on top of it, really cutting edge for the time and raw. And so compelling. Btw, you are one of the few reactors I watch where when they point to where a link is supposed to be on the screen, it's actually there, lol.

Funny story about David Spinozza.....when he was hired to work on the Mind Games LP, he had learned that Lennon was unaware that he had previously worked with McCartney and was concerned that he might be dismissed if lennon found out due to the sour relationship he had at the time with McCartney. It so happens that when Lennon did find out, he simply commented, "Well, Paul knows how to pick good people." Having recorded with Ringo years later, Spinozza is one of a few select muscians who has played for three of the four Beatles. Jim Keltner holds the same distinction as well, although he has not yet played with McCartney.

Check out the story of when Paul went to John’s apartment when Lorne Michaels’ offered the Beatles live on the show a lowly sum if they came on the show. Paul went to the apartment while the show was in progress so they could have gotten in a taxi and crashed the show. But John did not want to do it. What a moment in time. I wish John acted more in character and spontaneously did it.

John said, that he was comfortable in NYC, as it was similar to Liverpool, a City with River, on the ocean, with shipping -and a hard yet fun life. (I have been to Liverpool twice; various sites visited -I know NYC less, yet have visited) When John and Yoko were out and around NYC, he wasn't chased like in 1964 with Beatlemania. Fans would encounter -greetings, chats, some just "How's it going"....the shock of his murder, premeditated, and the killer getting Lennon's autograph earlier that evening,....I was 11 years when John Lennon was murdered, and a Beatles fan since only 1978. The "Mind Games" album is getting a proper remaster, option of media in July -the search for the Grail.

I believe he moved to NYC because NYers are chill around famous people, and didn't hound him for autographs.

What unfortunately led to his death was his access to fans. He would literally just go shopping and walk through the parks in New York. Go grab a cup of coffee, etc. People would just run into him all the time. He didn't isolate himself. It was a different time. Sadly, this same openness allowed his killer to get too close.

I agree with you about this video. Just John fooling around and with no alterations to the studio track. The video is very fun but also unavoidably deep, sad, and reflective given that you can't change his tragic fate only a few years later. He lived in New York City with Yoko and Sean, at the Dakota building. He was also murdered there in 1980 by a sub-human nothing who even had the balls to have gotten John's autograph on the Double Fantasy album earlier in the day.....I so glad that Yoko is still alive to keep this monster behind bars....

AAaahhh L33 - Your favourite Beatle.... and what a brilliant track. And yes, he moved to New York about a year after they broke up... And he didn't want to come back to the UK becuase the FBI and Nixon wanted to recind his green card... And he realised that once out of the States they wpuld have tried to keep him out because of his political activity in the early park of his stay in NY. Keep on Rocking young sir...

Playing "mind games" with another person can be a pernicious undertaking, but that's not what John Lennon is singing about here. This song is inspired by a book he read called Mind Games: The Guide to Inner Space. Written by Robert Masters and Jean Houston, it explains how we can improve ourselves on various levels by playing tricks on our minds; the song is really about making yourself a better person.❤ We're playing those mind games together Pushing the barrier, planting seed Playing the mind guerrilla Chanting the Mantra "peace on earth" We all been playing those mind games forever Some kinda druid dude lifting the veil Doing the mind guerrilla Some call it magic, the search for the grail Love is the answer and you know that for sure Love is a flower You got to let it, you gotta let it grow So keep on playing those mind games together Faith in the future, out of the now You just can't beat on those mind guerrillas Absolute elsewhere in the stones of your mind Yeah, we're playing those mind games forever Projecting our images in space and in time Yes is the answer and you know that for sure Yes is surrender You got to let it, you gotta let it go So keep on playing those mind games together Doing the ritual dance in the sun Millions of mind guerrillas Putting their soul power to the karmic wheel Keep on playing those mind games forever Raising the spirit of peace and love Love I want you to make love, not war I know you've heard it before
