| Purpose of use in article (WP:NFCC#8) | The image supports commentary in a section dedicated to the promotional clip for "Revolution", which is defined as a hard rock song with topical lyrics addressing the demonstrations and civil unrest of 1968. The clip shows the Beatles performing a rock 'n' roll song for the first time since their decision to retire from live performance two years before. The commentary includes interpretation of singer John Lennon's new public image at the time; music journalist Ian Fortnam says that Lennon's absorption in a romantic and creative partnership with Yoko Ono was reflected in a "lean, mean demeanour", which replaced "The moptop-era puppy fat", and in a commitment to authenticity in his art. Ian MacDonald says that the Beatles promos for "Revolution" and "Hey Jude" presented this new image to the public, and that the "deglamourised frankness" that Lennon sought was evidenced also in his choice of guitar, the finish of which he had stripped back to a natural white – a guitar that became a symbol of his image during his latter years as a Beatle. Lindsay-Hogg, the director of the promo, comments that, together with a political song such as "Revolution", the musicians' clothes and hairstyle were "stirring the pot of social revolution" in the late 1960s. |
