For part 49 of my youtube countdown, I found an awesome clip of John talking about love and relationships before launching into “Jealous Guy,” his song from 1971’s Imagine. “Jealous Guy,” was originally written when the Beatles were in India as “Child of Nature.” The original lyrics were about self discovery, but the new words are about John’s real self discovery, that he was an asshole towards women most of his life. Read any Beatle biography, and the picture one gets of John is that of a misogynist, a cheater, and a hitter. Not a pretty portrait, especially for a guy who fronted so many revolutions for progressive social change, and not to mention, wrote some of the greatest love songs ever written. But we all know that John was never a saint, and this clip is fantastic because you can just tell John is a more mature person, and vulnerable in a completely honest and modern way. Enjoy.
