Lennon

Let's face it: The Beatles are what put John Lennon on the map. But according to reviewers, the new musical about his life doesn't seem to care.

The show skips through the early years of his musical career, when the Beatles revolutionized popular music, and gives little weight to his first marriage and son before he met Ono, and then quit the Beatles in 1970. It also glosses over a later affair when he and Ono lived apart for more than a year.

"Imagine there's no Beatles, imagine no iconic movies, no White Album, no poetry books, no drawings," Newsday's Linda Winer wrote. "Then imagine there's no son before Sean, no mistress named May Pang, no deep depression, nothing really serious with drugs."

One more reason why I'm not (and never was) a fan of Ono. I think they should have let Paul or Ringo in on the musical... at least they would have done John some justice.
