DVD review: Plastic Ono Band in Toronto '69

This is a 50-minute film by D.A. Pennebaker about the night a sitting Beatle went to Toronto to play with his idols and unveil "Give Peace a Chance."

Dave Newhouse: Greatest rock 'n' roll song: Your pick

We can blame Muhammad Ali for all this "greatest" noise. Or blame his alter ego, Cassius Clay, who pronounced "I am the greatest" in 1964 and changed Americans into laboratory mice, scampering off crazily in search of other signs of greatness.

KING KHAN ISN'T actually royalty. He's more like a rock 'n' roll savior. Flamboyant like Little Richard and wild like Jerry Lee Lewis , Khan moves with the intensity of James Brown and the relentless energy of Sam & Dave , and Khan sings with the howl of the Thirteenth Floor Elevators ' Roky Erickson and the grit of Love 's Arthur Lee .

A love song for Bobby Lounge, a true original

He summons the barrelhouse piano of Jerry Lee Lewis, the flash of Little Richard, the yarn-spinning bite of Tom Waits and the unsentimental Southern Gothic surrealism of Flannery O'Connor. Bobby Lounge is no lounge act.
