OK, not a very accurate title. Actually, I was listening to a few of my favorite John Lennon songs and it's amazing how pervasive the influence of Indian music is in them. One of my absolute favorites is Dear Prudence written about Mia Farrow's sister while doing TM in Rishikesh. The eastern influence in the melody is fairly clear. Apparently the melody of Jealous Guy was also written at this time with the words "I'm a Child of Nature". In addition, there is also She Said She Said with its obvious Indian influence. Finally, it is not an accident that a sitar fit so well with Norwegian Wood--the Indian influence was already there.
With Real Love, these are my favorite JL songs.
