About John Lennon and Beatles classics(song)
At Town Hall, “John Lennon and Beatles classics” frames Lennon’s songwriting as both pop craft and public argument, revisiting Beatles standards alongside his solo work. The night brings together Graham Nash, Judy Collins, Suzanne Vega, Jimmy Webb, Livingston Taylor, and other guests, with Joe Raiola hosting, in a Rock/Pop program that keeps the lyrics in the foreground. Proceeds benefit Theatre Within’s Lennon-related peace and arts work. In New York, where Lennon lived and was memorialized, the music lands less as nostalgia than as civic memory.
