  • Yoko Ono's Bold Self-Tribute Album and Vindication

    Yoko Ono's Bold Self-Tribute Album and Vindication
    Jan 17 2026
    # January 17, 1984: Yoko Ono Releases "Every Man Has a Woman"

    On January 17, 1984, Yoko Ono released one of the most fascinating tribute albums in rock history – but here's the twist: it was a tribute album to *herself*.

    **"Every Man Has a Woman Who Loves Him"** featured an all-star lineup of artists covering Yoko's songs, effectively recasting the most controversial figure in Beatles lore as a legitimate songwriter worthy of serious artistic interpretation. It was a bold, audacious move that could have backfired spectacularly, but instead became a genuine moment of vindication.

    The album's roster read like a who's-who of early '80s music royalty: Elvis Costello, Harry Nilsson, Rosemary Clooney, Eddie Money, and Sean Lennon (then just 8 years old). But the crown jewel was **John Lennon's** final recorded performance – a hauntingly tender version of the title track that he completed shortly before his murder in December 1980.

    This recording of John singing Yoko's song carried profound emotional weight. Here was the world's most famous Beatle, in one of his last acts, championing his wife's artistry – the same woman millions had blamed for breaking up the Fab Four. The track became an almost unbearably poignant statement about their partnership, recorded in the summer of 1980 when they were in their creative renaissance during the *Double Fantasy* sessions.

    The album also featured Elvis Costello covering "Walking on Thin Ice," the very song Yoko and John had been mixing on the night of John's assassination. Costello's nervous, jittery interpretation captured the avant-garde essence of Yoko's original while making it accessible to new wave audiences.

    What made this release particularly significant was its timing. By 1984, Yoko had spent over a decade being vilified by Beatles fans, dismissed by critics, and reduced to a punchline. This album forced a reassessment. When credible artists like Costello and Nilsson treated her compositions with respect and creativity, it became harder to maintain the narrative that she was merely a talentless hanger-on.

    The project challenged listeners to separate Yoko Ono the cultural lightning rod from Yoko Ono the artist. Her compositions – quirky, vulnerable, and decidedly uncommercial – revealed themselves as genuinely interesting when interpreted by different voices. Songs like "No, No, No" and "She Gets Down on Her Knees" took on new dimensions through these covers.

    The album didn't set the charts on fire, but it didn't need to. Its importance was symbolic – a statement that Yoko Ono's artistic contributions deserved consideration independent of her role in Beatles mythology. It also represented one of the earliest examples of an artist curating tribute interpretations of their own work, a concept that would become more common in later decades.

    For Yoko herself, the album was deeply personal – a way of preserving John's final gift to her art while also asserting her own creative identity as she navigated widowhood and a changing music landscape.

    Today, "Every Man Has a Woman" stands as a curious artifact of the early '80s and a pivotal moment in the long, slow rehabilitation of Yoko Ono's reputation as an artist in her own right.

  • The Beatles Final Rooftop Concert in London

    The Beatles Final Rooftop Concert in London
    Jan 16 2026
    # January 16, 1970: The Beatles' Final Public Performance (Sort of)

    On January 16, 1970, BBC television aired what would become one of the most poignant moments in rock history: the broadcast of "The Beatles Around the Beatles," but more significantly, this date marks a key moment in the aftermath of the Beatles' legendary rooftop concert.

    However, the *really* juicy story for January 16th in music history is from **1969** (my apologies for the year correction): This was when the Beatles held their final, glorious, completely unannounced public performance on the rooftop of Apple Corps headquarters at 3 Savile Row in London!

    Picture this: It's a cold, grey London lunchtime. Office workers are shuffling about, thinking about their sandwiches, when suddenly the most famous band in the world starts blasting from a rooftop. The Beatles, along with keyboardist Billy Preston, set up their equipment on the roof and just... started playing. No announcement, no tickets, no security barriers between them and several stories of empty air.

    They launched into an impromptu 42-minute set that included multiple takes of "Get Back," "Don't Let Me Down," "I've Got a Feeling," and "One After 909." John Lennon, wearing his partner Yoko Ono's fur coat, Paul McCartney in a sharp suit, George Harrison looking coolly detached, and Ringo Starr bundling against the cold while keeping perfect time.

    The streets below descended into beautiful chaos. Traffic stopped. Secretaries crowded onto neighboring rooftops. People hung out of windows. And the police? They received noise complaints and eventually had to shut it down – making the concert's finale even more legendary. You can actually hear the police arriving in the recordings!

    The performance ended with Paul's now-iconic sign-off: "I'd like to say thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves, and I hope we've passed the audition."

    This wasn't just any concert – it was the last time the Beatles ever performed live together in public. They'd conquered stadiums, appeared on Ed Sullivan, and driven teenagers into screaming frenzies across the globe, and they went out by essentially busking from a rooftop in central London.

    The whole thing was filmed for what would become the "Let It Be" documentary, preserving this spontaneous, raw, and utterly perfect moment in rock history. No pyrotechnics, no elaborate stage design, no massive sound system – just four lads from Liverpool and their instruments, playing together one last time for whoever happened to be within earshot.

    The rooftop concert has since become the stuff of legend, inspiring countless tributes and even finding new life when director Peter Jackson restored the footage for his 2021 documentary series "Get Back."

    So on January 16th, 1969, the Beatles reminded everyone why they were the biggest band in the world by doing the most Beatles thing possible: breaking all the rules and creating magic out of sheer spontaneity.

  • When Convoy Hit Number One and CB Radio Mania Peaked

    When Convoy Hit Number One and CB Radio Mania Peaked
    Jan 15 2026
    # January 15, 1976: The Day C.W. McCall's "Convoy" Hit #1 and CB Radio Mania Peaked

    On January 15, 1976, something gloriously bizarre happened in American pop culture: a novelty song about truck drivers talking on CB radios reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. That song was "Convoy" by C.W. McCall, and it became the anthem of one of the weirdest cultural phenomena of the 1970s.

    **The Song:**

    "Convoy" told the story of a group of rebellious truckers led by a driver with the CB handle "Rubber Duck," who band together to form a massive convoy that grows from three trucks to "a thousand screamin' trucks" as they barrel across America, evading speed traps and "Smokey Bears" (police). The song was performed in a speak-sing style over a driving country-rock beat, peppered with CB radio slang that suddenly entered the mainstream vocabulary. Terms like "10-4," "mercy sakes," "what's your 20?" and "we got us a convoy" became part of everyday American speech.

    **The Mastermind:**

    Here's the kicker: C.W. McCall wasn't even a real trucker. He was actually Bill Fries, an advertising executive from Omaha, Nebraska, who created the character for a series of bread commercials! Fries, along with co-writer Chip Davis (who would later find massive success with Mannheim Steamroller), crafted this character who became so popular that they decided to make full albums.

    **The Cultural Impact:**

    "Convoy" didn't just top the charts—it ignited a CB radio craze that swept America. Suddenly, everyone wanted a CB radio in their car. Sales exploded from 5 million units in 1972 to over 11 million in 1976 alone. People adopted handles, learned the lingo, and turned their daily commutes into performances. The FCC was overwhelmed with licensing requests.

    The song spawned a 1978 movie also called "Convoy," directed by Sam Peckinpah and starring Kris Kristofferson and Ali MacGraw. Yes, the legendary director of "The Wild Bunch" made a movie based on a novelty song about truckers.

    **Why It Mattered:**

    "Convoy" captured a moment when Americans were feeling squeezed by various forces—the 1973 oil crisis had led to a 55 mph national speed limit that truckers particularly hated, and there was a general anti-establishment mood in post-Watergate America. The song's theme of ordinary folks banding together against "the system" resonated deeply, even if it was wrapped in the goofy packaging of CB slang and truck-driving adventure.

    The song stayed at #1 for six weeks and became a worldwide hit, even reaching #2 in the UK. It sold over two million copies and earned a gold record, proving that sometimes the most unlikely songs can capture the zeitgeist perfectly.

    So on this date in 1976, America's #1 song was essentially a citizens band radio fanfiction about trucker solidarity, and somehow, that made perfect sense.
