When critics and audiences refused to embrace the radical politics of 1972's Sometime in New York City, John Lennon shifted tracks and made a poppier, sunnier record in 1973. Despite being hunted by the Nixon administration, which sought to expel him from the country because of his views, Lennon seemed to be in a pretty good place.
