Lennon told Jann Wenner, founder of Rolling Stone Magazine: "The poetry on this album is superior to anything I've ever done because it's not self-conscious...." Of the equally minimalistic music he said: "I always liked simple rock.... I was influenced by acid and got psychedelic like the whole generation... but when you just listen, the piano does it all for you, your mind can do the rest.... I don't need anything else."

This has always been one of my favorite Lennon albums.
I have always loved this album, it is one you have to play all the way through. I want to see "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" when it comes to town, it looks interesting. Would like to get a copy of the soundtrack there are some tracks/versions which I have never heard.
