THE BEAT GOES ON
PALM BEACH - It’s a long way from Liverpool. But there he was, Mr. Funny Hat of 1974, very deep in the lap of luxury (and perhaps face down, more on that later). Yes, John Lennon vacationing in Palm Beach, winter home to many of America’s wealthiest and most powerful dinosaurs.

The Many Faces Of John Lennon
PALM BEACH - It’s a long way from Liverpool. But there he was, Mr. Funny Hat of 1974, very deep in the lap of luxury (and perhaps face down, more on that later). Yes, John Lennon vacationing in Palm Beach, winter home to many of America’s wealthiest and most powerful dinosaurs. And no quiet, incognito respite in the sun for John. Nossir. Posing for photos and making the scene at all the exclusive restaurants and nightclubs, all the must-do’s in glorious Palm Beach. Of course, May Pang, current heartthrob of the exBeatle - revolutionary - peace creep, was in tow, gushing for the eight post-middle-aged intimates at John’s table fit The Colony (a place they think of as wicked in Palm Beach). And, of course, the local paper carried a photo of Gentleman John chatting at poolside with eleven-year old son Julian. It was widely known that hosts for this jaunt south were the Lewis Garlicks (I don’t know). And the story goes that John is going to be a major benefactor (and possibly a trustee) to a medical research foundation Mrs. G. is setting up at Columbia University.
