Episode 116: John Lennon's Jukebox with Matt Williamson

To celebrate the recently-passed 7th anniversary of the first episode of Glass Onion way back when, we welcome Matt Williamson of the 'Pop Goes The 60s' you tube channel to discuss an intriguing and entertaining documentary from 2004. From the long-running UK arts and culture programme 'The South Bank Show', which had earlier brought us 'The Making of Sgt Pepper', comes an exploration of John Lennon's influences and musical loves by way of the portable jukebox he apparently brought on tour with him in 1965 and 1966, having loaded it with 40 of his favourite choons. Matt and Antony also touch on the argument and fine line between inspiration and plagiarism, and the differences between 'black' and 'white' voices and music, both of which the documentary explores in a fairly gentle way. We also assess how John's own music stacks up against some of his idols, a lot of whose songs he covered   Enjoy!   Feedback to glassonionpod@yahoo.com   Support the show at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/antonyrotunno OR https://www.buymeacoffee.com/antonyrotunno   Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/glassonionjlpod   Twitter handle https://www.twitter.com/OnionLennon   Matt's 'Pop Goes The 60s' channel https://www.youtube.com/@popgoesthe60s52   Antony's website (music, podcasts, blog, life coaching)  https://www.antonyrotunno.com   Antony's 'Life And Life Only' podcast (on Psychology and Alternative media) https://www.lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com   episode links The documentary, the jukebox and the songs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgABKFLOKj8&t=1s https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Lennon%27s_jukebox https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOtuAJmIXVn8ifjw7pQaTQdNcFyTNkyiu   Money- Barrett Strong vs The Beatles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96XJl7mxDtc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeWjEYhk7Xo   Rock And Roll Music- Chuck Berry vs The Beatles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IRF6nmqcbxo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2w
