Whether that's cynical, poignant, or just good marketing is moot; what matters is that Lennon's impact, not just as a musician but as a public figure, remains largely undiminished. The film, released theatrically in 1988, will already be familiar to many fans. "Narrated" by Lennon himself and culled from hundreds of hours of footage, much of it home movies shot by John and Yoko Ono, <I>Imagine</I> is a substantial, reasonably illuminating portrait of the man, warts and all, from childhood through the Beatle years, his solo career, and his life with Yoko straight up to his fatal encounter with Mark David Chapman. It's the new bonus features that are the principal draw here; but whether or not they qualify as "deluxe" is arguable. The Lennons' radio interview with a BBC reporter is notable mostly for John's patience in the face of idiotic questions like "Is love very important to young people today?" The ten or so minutes spent with Lennon's school headmaster, William Ernest Pobjoy (love the name), yield little insight, especially considering that the two were at the school at the same time for just one year, half a century ago; likewise, a new "making of" documentary with Ono, writer-director Andrew Solt, producer David Wolper, and others isn't exactly ground-breaking. However, a previously unreleased performance of "Imagine," with Lennon and some unknown accompanists on acoustic guitar, is nice, as is some heretofore unseen footage of the Lennons at home on their Tittenhurst Estate. Add to that a fine transfer and Dolby digital sound, and you have another addition to the filmed legacy of the Beatles--a subject that, for many of us, will never be old news. <I>--Sam Graham</I> Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:30:50 GMT http://www.talk-sports.net/nhra/fan.aspx/Jon_Capps nhra sports 208.96.54.71 3072 <div><a href='http://test.nhra.com/fedmog/2002/news/011601.html' target='_blank'>NHRA Sportsman Series News: Jon Capps tapped to drive Jackson Racing ... </a></div>It's very exciting to drive for a top-notch team owner like Rick and to have him believe in you enough to put you in the seat."-- Jon Capps Fri, 21 Nov 2008 21:29:42 GMT http://www.talk-sports.net/nhra/fan.aspx/Jon_Capps nhra sports 208.96.54.71 3027 <div><a href='http://www.amazon.com/Imagine-Deluxe-John-Lennon/dp/B000AYELY2%3FSubscriptionId%3D15KRB81YEBHXB93R3VG2%26tag%3Dkbcafe%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3DB000AYELY2' target='_blank'>Imagine (Deluxe Edition)</a></div><img src='http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41GjJ%2BQkTaL._SL160_.jpg' align='left' />It can hardly be a coincidence that this "deluxe edition" of <I>John Lennon - Imagine</I> should be issued in late 2005, a couple of months after what would have been the former Beatle's 65th birthday and mere days before the 25th anniversary of his death.
