Rolling Stone's 23rd greatest album of all time
Tiresome self-indulgent rubbish from the former Beatle. Songs about his abandonment by his parents and psychological torture show a certain amount of self-discovery (I am assuming some form of yogic therapy allowed him to revisit times in his childhood). However completely lacking in self-awareness as he used to beat his first wife and he himself abandoned his first son in favour of increasing amounts of fame. It just seems that he has now earned enough money to be safe for life and has discovered certain drugs and spiritual awakenings and is now trying to rewrite his history. The music is also pretty boring.

Movie Favorite

"I love Stanley Kubrick so much that the mere mention of his name is enough to make me smile involuntarily. This is not my favorite Kubrick film, but it’s terrific. Peter Sellers. The war room. The Coke machine. The way each plot element triggers the next like falling dominoes. It’s a perfect machine. There are so many funny and absurd lines: “Now look, Col. Bat Guano, if that really is your name” and “Of course it’s a friendly call. Listen, if it wasn’t friendly, you probably wouldn’t have even got it.” As always, I love Kubrick’s bureaucratic, non-psychological language. His persistent return to flat, transactional dialogue provides the perfect banal foil to his wilder, more imaginative moments."
