McCartney Times

Steve Landes has spent years trying to understand John Lennon, from his look and sound to the thinking and motivations of the singer-songwriter known for his peace activism.He watched videos to learn Lennon’s body language and listened to tapes so he could perfect an English accent.He also travels to Liverpool, England — the band’s birthplace — twice a year to talk to locals and learn about them and the area.”It’s not quite enough,” Landes said. “He’s one of those guys who is so iconic, such a larger-than-life character, that we’ve all developed this idea of who he is, and in some ways it’s outside of reality.”That is a humble admission from a man who makes his living as a member of Rain, the Beatles tribute band, which will be performing in Costa Mesa, near its beginnings in Laguna Beach.
