Initially, this is an interesting exercise. But as the pages pile up, it gets tiresome. At one point, I began to think of those “documentaries” concerning alleged hidden messages inBand on the Runhe appeared in a James Bond film. This is just one of dozens of historical intersections that Higgs points out in the text.
The portion of the book describing John Lennon’s post-Beatle life is illuminating. Higgs presents evidence that the agreed-upon story — Lennon becoming a “house husband,” baking bread and raising his new son Sean while leaving the business dealings to Yoko Ono - is, in the vernacular, horseshit. According to Higgs, Lennon was in a severe depressive state during this period, not leaving his bedroom for days at a time, drinking heavily and maybe doing heroin.
John also zinged John and Yoko for their conspicuous consumption, which forced them to purchase a number of apartments in New York just to store their acquisitions. In a parody of “Imagine,” he wrote to the couple: “Imagine six apartments / It isn’t hard to do / One is full of fur coats / The other full of shoes.”
Higgs also allows McCartney to grouse about Lennon’s perceived sainthood following his passing. To wit: McCartney complains that people spoke about his colleague “as if he were Martin Luther Lennon.”
