John Lennon was, in addition to being a great songwriter, a self-confessed “jealous guy”. Even when the sentiment was conveyed in a tender ballad, the message was hardly a romantic one.
His misogyny is well documented in his biographies. And if you were listening, it popped up now and then in his songwriting.
Here he is in his own words, from the possessive, to the stalkerish, to the downright menacing:
“You Can’t Do That”
“No Reply”
“Jealous Guy”
“Run For Your Life”
Every Moment Has A Song
