I agree - Clap for the Wolfman was a low point in my opinion, too. I
accepted the Randy-less Guess Who, but the novelty song wore thin for
me. Had it remained something else - without the Wolfman's appearance -
I would have liked the beat. That would be an original demo I'd like to
hear.
I do not see John Lennon as a songwriter of positive images, with few
exceptions (Imagine being one). After all, he's the one that said his
mother had him, he didn't have her; he didn't want to be a soldier;
asked how do you sleep?; asked what have you done this Christmas; wailed
on about going cold turkey; demanded truth; and even complained that
we're all f*cking peasants as far as he could see.
