[BACKGROUND] http://www.beatlesbible.com/people/john-lennon/albums/imagine/ [COMMENTS] From Rolling Stone: "Crippled Inside", Imagine, 1971 Lennon followed the opening peace anthem on his second album with this grenade wrapped in rockabilly rhythm and prairie-saloon piano, with a slinky country-boy solo on dobro by George Harrison. The chorus 'One thing you can't hide, Is when you're crippled inside.' may have been a slap at ex-bandmate Paul McCartney [who would get it full blast on Side Two, in 'How Do You Sleep?']. But when Lennon wrote in the second person, he often did it staring into a mirror." http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/twenty-underappreciated-john-lennon-solo-songs-20101210
