#88: Celebrating John Lennon
In this special Gear Club episode, we celebrate the post-Beatles life of John Lennon, who would have turned 82 this year on October 9th. After The Beatles broke up, John and Yoko Ono moved to New York where John produced, recorded, and played songs that spoke to the post-60s generation as they struggled for justice and an end to war. John Lennon impacted the lives of all those he came across, and that impact continues to live on.
To mark the occasion of his birth, we’ve collected first-hand accounts from the producers and engineers who worked most closely with John as he wrote and recorded songs from “Imagine” to “Starting Over”. These people include Shelly Yakus, Jack Douglas, Rod O’Brien, Ed Stasium, Jay Messina, and Greg Calbi.
