Happy Birthday John Lennon - Robyn Hitchcock on 'Plastic Ono Band' (REPOST)

To celebrate St Lennon's Day, I'm reposting my podcast with Robyn Hitchcock on Lennon's classic post-Beatles catharsis 'Plastic Ono Band'. Enjoy!

----

Traveler through space and time, British cult icon and legendary singer-songwriter Robyn Hitchcock steers his ship into the podbooth this week, for a chat with host Jeremy Dylan about John Lennon's emotionally confronting classic 1970 album "Plastic Ono Band".

Along the way, they talk about why Robyn identified with Lennon as a kid, Lennon's antipathy toward his Beatles music, the possible influence of Bob Dylan's "John Wesley Harding" album, John and Yoko's primal scream therapy and which Robyn Hitchcock song borrows its arrangement from a Plastic Ono Band tune.

My Favorite Album is a podcast on the impact great music has on our lives. Each episode features a guest on their favorite album of all time - why they love it, their history with the album and how it's influenced them. Jeremy Dylan is a filmmaker, journalist and photographer. He directed the the feature music documentary Jim Lauderdale: The King of Broken Hearts (out now!) and the film Benjamin Sniddlegrass and the Cauldron of Penguins.
