Glyn Johns, bless his bug-eyed heart, gently tries to warn John that Allen fucking Klein is history’s greatest monster. John is completely oblivious to Johns’ subtle hints such as “he’s very strange isn’t he?”, “Perhaps he doesn’t speak to you the same way he does other people because of who you are”, "I think he's about to invent the car alarm". Fucking hell.For someone who was an interesting character in The Beatles brilliant Get Back documentary & was the Forrest Gump of the British recording studio industry throughout the history of 60s-80s rock & roll, his book is a bit of a snooze.
If John Lennon had listened to Glyn Johns right now about Allen fucking Klein it could’ve saved not only The Beatles, but his own life. If The Beatles were still together in 1980 would Mark David Chapman have had a chance at killing him? Glyn Johns should go down in history as a goddam hero.
Glyn Johns remains undefeated in the jacket game with this lunatic circus ringleader number.
LEMONADE: I give Johns full marks for 100% staying away from typical rocker drama sex/drugs/etc bullshit; he sticks to the nuts and bolts of the recordings which is great, but he never really dives deep into anything.
