Description
Hold On World revisits Lennon and Onos love affair and startling collaborations. John Lennons Plastic Ono Band was arguably the most emotionally honest album ever made. It wasnt merely another record but more like a sonic exorcism, a spiritual, public bloodletting. Lennons album drove a stake through the heart of the Beatles myth while confronting everything else in Johns life, from Dylan to God to his glorified status as a Working Class Hero.
Determined to rid himself of past traumasabandonment by his father and the death of his mother, JuliaLennon wrote the most powerful song cycle of his career, confronting fear, disappointment, and illusion, all the while espousing his love for Yoko Ono. Released simultaneously, Onos album Yoko Ono/Plastic Ono Band is emotionally raw and challenging. It inspired bands like the B-52s and Yo La Tengo to employ pure sound, whether shrieking vocals or guitar feedback, to express their deepest feelings.
