Nineteen-seventy-one was the year John Lennon left London and pop stardom for a life in New York City as a solo artist, record producer and activist looking to help end the war in Vietnam. He settled in Greenwich Village and quickly came to be seen by the leaders of the faltering anti-war movement as someone who was capable of reinvigorating it. The government was acutely aware of Lennon’s power as well, seeing him as a viable threat to Nixon’s reelection hopes, initiating extradition proceedings against him.             Lennon’s second solo album, Imagine, appeared in 1971, followed the following year by Sometime in New York City. Meanwhile, John and Yoko are searching for her daughter, a primary reason they came to America in the first place. And John is struggling to embrace feminism.             The Walrus and the Elephants tells a double-barreled story of music and politics, how the personal is political and the political is personal, of upheavals in one life amid the larger cultural upheavals of an era.

This is not a biography of John Lennon nor a study of the Beatles. It is the story of John Lennon's most radical political phase which resulted in his most controversial and political album Sometime in New York City. It is a time in the US when opposition to the Vietnam War was at its height and some people on both the left and the right saw John Lennon as a potential leader in the anti-war movement. Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin were willing to use Lennon for their radical purposes and the paranoid Nixon regime along with J. Edger Hoover's FBI followed, bugged and harassed Lennon for they feared he could mobilize the young and potentially threaten the 1972 election. The height of the Nixon White House's war on Lennon was their fight to get him deported in the early 1970's. James Mitchell has written a fascinating story of Lennon's radical politics and his fight to remain in the U.S. He interviewed remaining members of the radical NY band Elephants Memory. ( A good companion to this book is the more academic study by Jon Weiner on Lennon's politics as well as the film from a few years ago on Lennon and the FBI.) This book is part music history, part politics and part cultural history. Lennon's humanity is evident in the book as well as his playfulness. In one antecdote Lennon shows up for a rally in Anne Arbor Michigan and when he finds out that Stevie Wonder is there he is star struck. He said" You have to understand. Stevie Wonder is my Beatles." If you are interested in the 60's and 70's,politics, the Beatles and particularly John Lennon this is a must read. If you are familiar with the abuses of Wayergate this story of a government's fear of a musician will capture your attention.
