Rare Lennon photos to be published

nm_lennon_pang_080303_ms.jpg


Music icon John Lennon has been immortalized thousands of times in pictures and photographs, but perhaps none are as personal as May Pang's snapshots of the Beatle. In "Instamatic Karma," Pang, who was Lennon's girlfriend from 1973 to 1975, goes public for the first time with some of the couple's most personal pictures. The photos show Lennon at work and at play, and offer important insight into the character of one of the world's most popular musicians.

Read an excerpt of "Instamatic Karma" here.

"I didn't know Lennon had such a bad case of yellow fever."

May Pang was assigned to Lennon by Yoko.

"Too bad yoko was, like, the least hot asian chick ever."

Lennon didn't really like girls. He was functional, of course. But after the death of Brian Epstein in 1967 (who seems to have been Lennon's secret BFF) you'll notice an odd bitchy tension developed toward the pretty one (Paul McCartney) by John. Earlier, before Epstein, this was ameliorated by the presense in the group of the hunky one, Stu Sutcliff.

Now, with no Brian or Stu, Lennon needed another beau ideal in place of Paul. That "man" was Yoko Ono. (John met her in 1966 but did not pursue her until Brian Epstein died months later.)

Now: to May Pang. Notice that she looks awfully feminine. Well, as if in response, John spent the whole May Pang era (1974) drunk. Or pouting (see picture above.)

NOTE: Not to knock Lennon. Plastic Ono Band and Imagine LPs are Must-Haves. "There's a Place" is one of the most unique songs in the pop catalogue. But John's dream was to be a fashion designer. Luckily he was multi-talented.

No wonder I hate him so much. Thanks for enlightening me to what a horrible, horrible person Mr. Lennon was.
