Gotta think that Lennon might very well have been coming off a binge when he did this one. ;D

Really! And to think for all those years I thought this was a song about leftovers.

Recently, a lot of reviewers were remarking on "Give Peace A Chance" and there was a wide range of responses, some love it, some hate it, some are neutral. I'm in the middle about that one, but prefer his other 1969 single, this one, over that. This was kind of a flop in commercial terms compared to other Beatle and solo Beatle projects, but it is a harrowing song about drug use and withdrawal, with pertinent and even chilling lyrics, and excellent instrumentation- in fact, it could be said that the rythym and beat of the song and guitar licks match the subject matter of the lyrics and John's singing and phrasing perfectly. Underrated classic, though I imagine some don't like the screaming at the end. Doesn't bother me though.
