COVER STORY: JOHN LENNON When Beatle John and Yoko Ono moved to Manhattan in 1971 they were swept up in a whirlwind of radicalism. Out of it came fierce music, dark dangers, mad ideas and, ultimately, a soberer take on what it meant to be a political artist.
BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Springsteen speaks! The Boss on the long-hidden, now-revealed Electric Nebraska. Plus director Scott Cooper on the new Bruce biopic, Deliver Me From Nowhere.
JIMI HENDRIX Axis: Bold As Love was the guitar god’s bid for total musical freedom, a fusion of poetry, technology and stimulants: “He was tripping off his noodle!”
LUCINDA WILLIAMS The considerable wisdom of Americana’s First Lady on the eve of a 16th studio album release. And how her stroke won’t stop her: “I will play guitar again!”
PRINCE Purple Rain made him a megastar. But the quirky pop perfection of Around The World In A Day proved Prince would do everything his way, and damn the torpedoes.
BRIGITTE FONTAINE A rare window on the uncompromising visionary of French pop, her battles with chauvinism and philistinism. “I was Punk!” she tells Andrew Male.
FINE YOUNG CANNIBALS From ska cast-offs to “one-hit wonders” to global superstars in five years. “We had dinner with Warren Beatty and Madonna,” they tell MOJO today. “That was nice.”
