Anchored by the buoyant peace-and-love anthem, Mind Games, John Lennons fourth album of the same name, was surprisingly written and recorded during an incredibly tumultuous time in the rock legends life.

A years-long deportation battle with U.S. immigration continued to rage on while his high-profile anti-Nixon campaigning, anti-Vietnam war activism, as well as the overtly political messages on his polarizing 1972 album, Sometime in New York City, made him a target of a newly elected Richard Nixon, leading to surveillance by the FBI.
