Find a new side of John Lennon (and his ‘lost weekend') at this Cambridge pop-up
Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up But at Pang's pop-up, a much more personal role comes into focus: her time as Lennon's girlfriend during his 'lost weekend,' a not-so-brief period of separation from Ono that brought Lennon and Pang to Los Angeles. For 18 months between 1973 and 1975, Pang said that their relationship offered the former Beatle some semblance of normalcy. They lived together, signed Christmas cards as a couple, and, according to the 2023 documentary Advertisement Like any smitten partner, Pang frequently took photos of Lennon with her Nikon Nikkormat, documenting the simple beauty of their daily life. 'It was just for us,' she says, looking back at casual snaps that range from Lennon and his son Julian, with whom he had recently reconnected, to Lennon leaning against a motorcycle, wearing a sly grin and Pang's jeans. Advertisement Friday through Sunday, nearly 40 of those photos will be on display at The pop-up exhibition comes to Cambridge after recent visits to cities like Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Toronto, and heads to Southwest Harbor, Maine, later this month. 'People [are] standing there, tears in their eyes, and they see a John they've never seen,' Pang says about guests' reactions to the photos. 'It makes me feel good that they finally see a John that has a smile on his face. They said he looks relaxed. That was our home life.' A source of joy for Lennon at the time was creating 'Walls and Bridges' in a mere eight weeks, Pang says. 'He enjoyed every minute of it,' she recalls, noting how the satisfaction shines in Lennon's face through her photos. Also among Pang's collection is one of the last known photos of Lennon and Paul McCartney together, taken in March 1974, and the only photo of Lennon signing the contract that officially dissolved the Beatles. Only two photos fall outside of the 'lost weekend' era: individual snaps of George Harrison and Lennon, both from 1970. Pang will be on site at the gallery to chat with visitors on Saturday and Sunday, and guests will be able to purchase copies of the photographs all weekend. Sometimes, she'll even re-tell the events that led up to certain photos if visitors decide to take one home. Advertisement Pang launched the pop-up in 2023 in tandem with the release of the documentary 'The Lost Weekend: A Love Story,' which Pang narrates and features many of her photos. Pang said that releasing the documentary was her way of correcting myths about her relationship with Lennon — including a belief that it was Ono who sent the couple to Los Angeles. ('She didn't even know we went out there; we had to tell her later,' Pang says.) That's why Pang is happy to tell guests her version of the 'lost weekend' — both in person and through her photos — even though the fabled period is more than half a century in the rearview. 'He was one of the most famous men of the 20th century and the 21st century, and it just happened that I was with him,' she says. 'Why am I shunning that? I shouldn't.' GIG GUIDE The Xfinity Center serves up an eccentric playlist this week, starting with a A clash of arena rock and metal resounds in TD Garden — courtesy of mellow melange of genres fills the arena on Advertisement Massachusetts's major rock acts seem to perform locally in batches, and this week is no exception; while Pixies plug away at their first night in town, For fresh air fare, catch country singer Advertisement NOW SPINNING Sly and the Family Stone , The earliest live recording of Sly and The Family Stone captures their jaunty soul-rock goodness from 1967. Big Hassle Yola , 'Amazing.' On the heels of her excellent January EP, 'My Way,' Yola returns with the energizing single 'Amazing.' Yola's twisting, soul-pop fireworks carry a subtle undercurrent of electronica without overcrowding the tune — a marvelous balancing act, and another formidable display of stamina from the British singer-songwriter. The Dogmatics , 'Nowheresville.' It's been 39 years since the Dogmatics added a new LP to the archive of Boston rock history, but the group doesn't sound any less gritty for the break. The Boston band's garage rock prowess is a given, but it's their ability to bridge the past (the schoolboy daydream 'Library Girl') with current moment (the social-media-skewering 'No Likes No Comments') that really revs the engine of 'Nowheresville.' Boston garage rock band the Dogmatics release their first LP in 39 years this Friday. Nicole Tammaro BONUS TRACK Rhode Island: where fans of 'The Simpsons' meet fans of The Boss.

The winner takes it all but Leah Williamson won't ‘banish Abba' for Sweden clash
The Swedish band's 'Does Your Mother Know' became a key track on the Williamson-curated dressing room playlist during England's triumphant Euro 2022 campaign, where they beat Sweden 4-0 in the last four – a defeat made 'easier to bear' by the use of the song, according to Abba's own Bjorn Ulvaeus. It was a closer affair when they met in the qualifiers for this tournament, drawing twice, including the goalless July 2024 stalemate that was enough for England to book a direct place in the finals. Hearing some Swedish fans had claimed Abba were better than the Beatles, and therefore Sweden would beat England, Williamson replied: 'I don't (agree with that) I'm afraid. One might be easier to dance to, but no. 'I don't think that will be on the playlist, but it worked in 2022 so I don't want to banish Abba completely.' The England centre-back is gearing up for a battle with Arsenal team-mate Stina Blackstenius. In May, the Swedish forward struck in the winning goal in Lisbon, where the Gunners lifted the Champions League trophy with a 1-0 victory over heavy favourites Barcelona. Blackstenius has already contributed two goals at these Euros for Group C winners Sweden, but is just one of the threats on what Williamson feels is a 'very organised team' that 'work for each other' and 'deserve a bit more recognition'. Williamson and Blackstenius are Arsenal team-mates (Zac Goodwin/PA) 'Stina is an incredibly powerful footballer,' said Williamson. 'I think she's very intelligent with her runs, she's a hard player to play against in that respect. I was celebrating her success at Arsenal, and not so much now. 'So we'll see, but she's a great player and she has been for many years now, so her experience speaks for itself.' Despite their familiarity, an international tournament is a rare chance for the club-mates to properly battle it out. 'It's different,' explained Williamson. 'Obviously playing against each other in training (it's) maybe in a drill with restrictions, but it's very rare that I'll play against her in this setting. 'So I enjoy it. I like Stina, so it's tough to just remove all that to then just go at it, and you don't want to focus too much (on it). 'There's loads of different things that come into play when you play against a team-mate, but I think I've know Stina long enough now that it's kind of fun. 'I know who she is, and it's time for us to focus on us.' Williamson captained England to the trophy at Wembley in 2022 but missed the World Cup after sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament injury in April 2023, just months before the tournament. She added: 'I was part of that squad, and I will forever be proud to have been part of that squad, but we don't want it to be the only one. 'It's a constant driver. You want to do more. You always want to do more, and I'd like to say that on that day I felt as happy as I ever felt, and that probably would have been enough for me, but the next day it creeps around and everybody wants more all the time.'
