J Lennon page 29 by ric gustafson
In September of 1971, John releases his second solo album. It is called ' Imagine'. It was a huge success in the UK and America. It was number 1 on the UK chart. It was number 3 as a US single.
Trouble was brewing between John and Paul McCartney. Paul's solo album ' Ram' was released in May of 1971. On that album was a song criticising John and Yoko's activism. To get back at Paul, John wrote a song for his album titled ' How Do You Sleep?".
McCartney's cover art for ' Ram' was he grabbing a ram by the horns. John made fun of that in ' Imagine' with himself grabbing a pig's ear. To add to Paul's misery, George Harrison played slide guitar on John's album.
In December of 1971, Paul released ' Wild Life'. Paul also revealed that he had formed a new band with his wife Linda. The group was to be called ' Wings'.
John was not amused at his former writing partner.
