To celebrate St Lennon's Day, I'm reposting my podcast with Robyn Hitchcock on Lennon's classic post-Beatles catharsis 'Plastic Ono Band'. Enjoy!
----
Traveler through space and time, British cult icon and legendary singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock steers his ship into the podbooth this week, for a chat with host Jeremy Dylan about John Lennon’s emotionally confronting classic 1970 album “Plastic Ono Band”.
Along the way, they talk about why Robyn identified with Lennon as a kid, Lennon’s antipathy toward his Beatles music, the possible influence of Bob Dylan’s “John Wesley Harding” album, John and Yoko’s primal scream therapy and which Robyn Hitchcock song borrows its arrangement from a Plastic Ono Band tune.
My Favorite Album is a podcast on the
impact great music has on our lives. Each episode features a guest
on their favorite album of all time - why they love it, their
history with the album and how it’s influenced them.
Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and
photographer. He directed the the feature music
documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of
Broken Hearts (out now!) and the
film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of
Penguins.
