Review about God Save Oz ------Performed by John Lennon | 11/19/2006 10:00:00 AM God save Oz An exciting time this. The song came out in the wake of the obscenity trial of the editors of Oz magazine who were imprisoned because of the "Schoolkids" issue. It wasn't a very pleasant article but obscene? It all co-incided with an atmosphere of "counterculture" and Lennon had been one of the leaders of that posse. Unfortunately he didn't sing it, that was Bill Elliott (from Splinter, an Apple band)who did a good job. It was the Plastic Ono Band with an unknown. Everything seemed possible. Not a bad record but more important as a historical document than a song Thanks to Tony Schofield for submitting the review.
