John Lennon; The 50th Anniversary of The Quarry Men

Lo! Folks!

A Matter of an Angle.

John Lennon; The 50th Anniversary of The Quarry Men


It is truly unbelievable that we still today see Ms. Yoko Ono making public appearance in style. She recently performed her art exhibition in Russia, in addition to her joining "Larry King Live" and a promotion video clip of a certain Japanese music group.

John Lennon once used Japanese expressions in the song "Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)." He sang: "Yoko-san suimasen." For what sacrifice or virtue on her side, was he sorry?

I once visited the John Lennon Museum in Saitama City, Japan. I found his driver's license, or something like that so personal and old, being displayed. He must have been, of course, truly a neighbor of some ordinary people in his original world where he played in the Quarry Men and met Mr. Paul McCartney.

(By the way, do you know "Sukiyaki," a Japanese song that once became US No.1 in The Billboard in 1963 when Ms. Yoko Ono was living in New York? However, Kyu Sakamoto, who sang it, died in a Jumbo jet air accident near Tokyo Pref. in 1985 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki_(song)).

It was a song of loneliness or a broken heart though somehow forward looking in words and tune, say, like Ms. Yoko Ono's life, since its original Japanese title "Ue-wo-Muite-Arukou" means "Let's Walk Faceup [lest tears should course down].")



"THEN THEY SANG A HYMN AND WENT OUT TO THE MOUNT OLIVES"
