John Lennon: The New York City Years

At the Rock and Roll Annex in NYC, “John Lennon: The New York City Years,” an exhibition of memorabilia that opens on Tuesday(May 12th) and provides a glimpse of the nine years he lived in the city, from 1971 until his death in 1980. The show offers a good overview of his creative world, with examples of his art (drawings and collages, some never seen before), video clips of his performances and, most crucially, a collection of lyric sheets and production notes that, if you look closely at Lennon’s changes, additions and annotations, tell a lot about his working methods and his ways of thinking about music.
