From Amazon:

To the summer of 66, amid the controversial ‘Jesus’ statement when lead members of The Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney, were given an assignment of walking down memory lane as a way to allay and 'fix' the bad press. Paul chose to write about a bus exchange called Penny Lane, using dirty innuendo throughout. For his retrospective, John chose Strawberry Fields, the name of a communistic orphanage in the Liverpool suburb of Woolton where he grew up after being displaced from his free-spirited mother, Julia. The songs heralded a change in the band, and especially in John.

Nothing to Get Hung About dissembles John's life at the time he wrote, Strawberry Fields Forever, capturing his paranoia and aspiration for a higher consciousness amid war, renaissance, and rebellion. Through his eyes we see the interactions he had with his fellow band members, The Beatles, as well as the unrequited dynamic he and his manager Brian Epstein shared, as well as the fated and sometimes Oedipus-like fracture he had with his mother - the real inspiration for Strawberry Fields Forever.
