Here’s a true story you will find hard to believe but I swear it’s the god’s honest truth .Once upon a time there was a very talented Portuguese songwriter guitarist living in Los Angeles in 1969 . He wrote a lot of songs and always sent them to a music publisher in Hollywood . One day in mid 1970 the publisher called him and said someone wants to buy a few of your songs but they want the complete rights to them and have offered $10,000.
Well back then $10,000 was an awful lot of money. The musician who wanted them was at the time going cold turkey and had a heroin problem but he needed to produce an album and only had a handful of material. one of the songs was “Working Class Hero ” and yes it was John Lennon.
