We have the 1918 pandemic, the unemployment rate of the Great Depression, and the race riots of 1968, all at the same time. There’s no need to wait for hindsight to have 20/20 vision about 2020, and the year isn’t even half over!
Something that’s overlooked about John Lennon’s infamous heckling of the Smothers Brothers at the Troubadour in 1974 is that he knew Tommy Smothers. Yeah, Lennon was being a jerk, and he acknowledged it ever after, but in a way he was just being a pain in the butt to a friend.
Barbra and Tommy? Really? I don’t see it.
Totally unrelated, but years before, Tommy and Barbra Streisand had a brief but hot affair. Talk about “The Odd Couple.”
Yes, Lennon could be a Grade A-hole, but so could Paul at times.
