This is a story of two John’s. I never saw the more famous one in person; I last saw the lesser known reading his poetry in a little Chicago bar maybe 15 years ago. The author of this piece treats us to his nicely rendered reminiscence, and some great tape of a Lennon performance and taped phone call. Very sweet, makes you smile. Though the anniversary of Lennon’s death just passed, this is still apt airing this month, or any time you want to air a little story about a famous man’s generous act.
