[edit] 2003
Is there no room for an annotated Lennon disography in any existing entry? Will each Lennon album get a mini-entry like this? Wetman
- This is a lumping-versus-splitting thing. Perhaps there should be an annotated discography on the John Lennon page, instead of separate pages. -- Cabalamat 04:57, 22 Sep 2003 (UTC)
[edit] "Just Because"
The album's closing track has taken on monumental significance since Lennon's 1980 Playboy interview, where he states that he was "subconsciously saying goodbye" to the music industry. Back in 1974, however, it was simply the closing track for an album that Lennon envisioned as an "oldies hours" on the radio, and was mimicking D.J.'s from that era closing their show.
Phil Spector suggested this song to Lennon, he'd never heard it, or couldn't remember hearing it. Which is why, at the beginning, Lennon says, "I must've been 13 when I first heard this. Or was it 14?. Or was it 22? I could've been 12 actually."
The ending dialogue is also quite humorous as the song's leading lady turns out to be a transvestite of sorts "When I discovered you were wearing man's clothes, not that I'm prejudiced..."
When Lennon says, "This is Dr. Winston O'Boogie saying goodnight from Record Plant East New York, everyone here says 'hi'" -- all the studio personal say "hi" on the recording.
It continues on, as now heard in the re-mixed release, with fond messages to Paul, George and Ringo (and Lennon also plugs Starr's new album for good measure).
Lennon sequenced the tracks very carefully, opening with Be Bop A Lula, the song that he was playing with The Quarrymen when he first met Paul McCartney. Lennon also joked that McCartney would be making more money from this album than he would, because McCartney owned the publishing to "Peggy Sue."
