The Lennon Prophecy

Offering a new interpretation of the hidden messages and symbols that have ornamented Beatles mythology for years, this examination of the Beatles' recordings and album artwork theorizes that John Lennon's murder was eerily foretold. Following a fascinating and unique trail of sorcery, mysticism, numerology, backwards masking, anagrams, and literary and theological writings, the book posits that John Lennon sold his soul in order to achieve international fame and fortune and subsequently paid the ultimate price for his success.

Despite John Lennon's immense popularity, little attention has been paid to the overall efforts of his work apart from the Beatles. Yet his solo artistry not only illuminates what he gave to the Beatles (and what the Beatles experience gave to him), but also constitutes a significant contribution to popular music in general. Lennon was able to fuse experiments in technology, instrumentation, lyrics, and musical form into recordings that were both artistically and commercially successful.

He was catapulted to international pop-superstardom in the early 60s at the tender age of 21. Now, Paul McCartney finally tells his side of the story as a member of the most popular rock ‘n’ roll band ever in Paul McCartney: Many Years from Now by Barry Miles. Based on hundreds of hours of interviews and complete access to McCartney's archives, Miles presents a highly authoritative biography that offers a personalized glimpse into the life and times of this true musical icon. Here McCartney sets the record straight on his musical partnership with John Lennon and shares a revealing portrait of swinging London in the 60s. Beatle’s fans will also enjoy the more than 32 pages of black-and-white photographs that accompany this definitive guide to Sir Paul.
