Doubling Back on the Fantasy

Soundcheck | Dec 7, 2010

John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s album “Double Fantasy” heralded Lennon’s renewed interest in making music after a five-year hiatus from the public eye. But that potential was never fulfilled. Three weeks after it was released, Lennon was killed. Today: the legacy of the last album Lennon released in his lifetime. Guests include the album’s producer, Jack Douglas, and Ken Sharp, author of the new book “Starting Over: The Making of John Lennon & Yoko Ono’s Double Fantasy.”

Ken Sharp and photographer Roger Farrington appear at Borders at 2 Penn Plaza in Midtown on Wednesday, December 8, 2010 at 6 p.m. For more information please visit the Borders web site.
