The Lennon Companion 126 - 170

The story about the Beatles, especially John Lennon, goes to 1965~. He met Yoko Ono who broke up the Beatles. She was attractive for Lennon so that the author said about her carefully. She was an artist that published a book. The latest Lennon's lyrics were effected by Yoko Ono. Next the author explained Lennon's schooldays.For Lennon and McCartney, school was more important that home or Liverpool. His pictures in his childhood were creative. His creativity of writing songs are great, especially his lyrics, but when it was the first time to release their album , called please please me, Lennon didn't try to write lyrics cafelly like he didn't care about it. However, eventually, Lennon and MacCartney were trying to write great lyrics, because they were influenced by Bob Dylan who is their good friend.
The next topic of them goes to last three original albums. The Beatles, called white album, released. The author said thirty songs in white album are various. No one achieved to make such a great album in this year. Then Abbey Road and Let It Be released. He explained about these songs. He didn't explain their last LP, Let It Be, much more than Abbey Road. He said the last LP is not so variety and does not attempt large musical construction as Abbey Road.


Opinion
At that time, the Beatles were not good relationship each other. Therefore, they recorded on by theirthelves. Sadly, this book said Yoko Ono broke the Beatles up. I don't think so, because John Lennon may be not interested in the Beatles even if he didn't meet her anyway.
In my opinion, this book is little bit hard to read for me... Especially, vocaburaly is hard. I'll try to read this book completly, though about 60 pages left.
