JOHN LENNON’S GLASSES
Press Room
“John Lennon and George Harrison began to glow as their human images burned away. Mini-suns appeared in their chests, growing larger and larger, swirling with brilliant blue-white tendrils. They drifted toward each other, pulsing with energy, growing brighter with each orbit, faster and faster, until they were brighter than the sun in Near Heaven. One final brilliant pulse, and they shot off, comet-like, in opposite directions. Harrison, for a cryptic meeting with his guardian angel in Nearer Heaven, and Lennon to his beleaguered ex-planet Earth to bring a weary, desiccated soul a little water.”

Author’s Statement on Why This Book Matters
We are living in complicated, dark and profoundly scary times. John Lennon’s Glasses provides not only an antidote and escape from that, it offers hope and inspiration by pointing to the power of personal transformation to affect positive collective change.
We’ve used our own proprietary blend of humor and playfulness, (overlaid with a fun romp through Rock ‘n’ Roll culture) to examine the psychological underpinnings that holds people back from living their best lives while hinting at a pathway through.
We’re the “spoonful of sugar” that nudges readers to gently explore their own fears and insecurities while they set down their heavy, world-weary backpack for a spell.

About Jim & Kathy Ocean’s Work
Mission Statement
Jim and Kathy Ocean are curious students of the human condition whose satire-infused “thought rock” music and speculative fiction provide lively, light-hearted portals from which to engage the challenges of our times.
Artist Statement
As writers, singer-songwriters, and performers with off-beat sensibilities we like to peek under the façade of modern life. Using satire, comedy and dramedy, we take divergent styles, topics and genres and mash them up to evoke a full range of thought and emotion. With a sense of playfulness, we feel into the flashes of beauty, horror and absurdity that intertwine most everything. Though we lead our audiences to difficult places, we don’t leave them unattended. We encourage hope in the shadows of hopelessness and levity in an atmosphere of heaviness. We point toward positive change and away from well-worn paths to the status quo. We’ve done our job if at the end of our song, book or performance, the audience feels awake and revived, if they taste just a bit of the energy and enthusiasm they had as a young child wowed by the world.
