Back To Basics

Came back home yesterday to listen to Lennon's Plastic Ono Band album. Sometimes a voice (in this case a great one), a piano, a guitar and an attitude are all you need. (Though nice bass - Voorman - and gut-bucket drums - Ringo - help.)

I didn't quite get that, back in the seventies, when I thought John had rather lost the plot. Yesterday I grasped the album for the first time - I mean I really got it. And when you're in it, it's difficult to get out, happily so.
