    Episode 99- Gimme Some (More) Truth
    Feb 15 2024
    In the last episode before we notch up our century, Antony flies solo to muse on and discuss various items of Lennon interest. In order, these are the 40th anniversary of the ‘Milk And Honey’ album, the cancelling and virtues of the Lennon-penned Beatles song ‘Run For Your Life’, May Pang’s 2022 documentary ‘The Lost Weekend: A Love Story’, the work of Mike Williams and his theory on the impossibility of the recording of ‘Rubber Soul’ (Antony gets tied in knots at this point negotiating his position in the middle ground of the mainstream-conspiracy continuum!), and an extended look at the 2000 ‘Gimme Some Truth’ documentary. Finally there’s a look at the recent Apple TV documentary ‘John Lennon: Murder Without A Trial’ and David Whelan’s new book ‘Mind Games: The Assassination of John Lennon’, both of which naturally focus on the grisly events of December 8th 1980. There are multiple audio clips as ever and what is probably a record number of links in the show notes. Episode 100 will appear in March Enjoy!   Feedback to glassonionpod@yahoo.com   Support the show at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno OR https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno   Facebook page- https://www.facebook.com/glassonionjlpod   Twitter handle https://www.twitter.com/OnionLennon   Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching) https://www.antonyrotunno.com   Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology and Alternative media)  https://www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com   episode links John Lennon Real Life childhood https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P3crKoa8tg   Antony’s ‘white reggae’ song ‘New World (Order)’ https://antonyrotunno.bandcamp.com/track/new-world-order   Mike Pachelli guitar lesson for ‘Run For Your Life’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMLC8Hhb13s   ‘The Lost Weekend: A Love Story https://www.imdb.com/title/tt19812518/?ref_=tt_urv   Tony King as the Queen of England https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lx-DNpoKfVg   Julian Lennon - Saltwater https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7vdP0VZ3dE   Mike Williams on the impossibility of ‘Rubber Soul’ and other theories https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ccEhmQ0M4FY&list=PLAW3gU1yflm_lFhOhwLoIQRXg8ZHLhevX   Olivia Harrison- ‘Hello Billy’ or ‘Hello babes’? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bO1Q8qkVf6c   Ably House play ‘I Feel Fine’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkugg_tWV0Q   What did John Lennon play on George Harrison's songs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtd-sug3i8c   Trailer for ‘John Lennon: Murder Without A Trial (on Apple TV) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnSnkvGKuyI   David Whelan’s Substack page https://substack.com/@davidwhelan   David’s ‘Mind Games’ book https://freepress.org/article/book-review-mind-games-assassination-john-lennon   David on the ‘Something About The Beatles’ podcast https://somethingaboutthebeatles.com/2024/02/09/275-anomalies-in-the-assassination-of-john-lennon-with-david-whelan/ The Man Who Shot John Lennon (1988 documentary) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9J8aMKRZZwQ Dr Stephen Lynn squirms! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bkw25rVcn84

    Episode 98- John Lennon And Me
    Dec 19 2023

    We round off Glass Onion’s 5th year with a personal episode. Antony explores further his origin story with John Lennon and the ongoing relationship and fascination with the subject of our show (yes, it’s our show).

    You will also hear some writing that didn’t quite culminate in a book this year, and there’s some discussion of childhood, both Antony’s and John’s, and the glorification of it.

    Finally, did you know myopia was a superpower?

     

    Enjoy the show and see you in 2024!
