How Do You Sleep? by John Lennon – ****

First released: 1971

Lennon’s scathing attack on McCartney from "Imagine" is as appropriate today as it was in 1971, because McCartney has written an awful lot of crap. If he decreased his output to the level of Lennon’s in the same time period and concentrated on perfecting it, Lennon may never have written a song like this. It’s also on 1990’s "Lennon". The instrumental score for this song was first released on "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" in 2006. A demo version appears on 1998’s "The John Lennon Anthology" and "Wonsaponatime".
