The landmark record just celebrated its 50th anniversary, and in this week's deep dish Part 2, Tony & T.J. examine eight more excellent Lennon songs, plus another that remains controversial for those of us who don't think the only thing Paul ever did was "Yesterday".

🍆 Did Chicago Bulls center Luc Longley - a.k.a. "The Australian Olajuwon" - inspire a phallic, early 90s reggae classic?
