I never knew he created his famous line "God is a concept by which we measure our pain" after his doctor told him people in pain usually seek out religion. Wow, and I thought I knew everything about my hero/idol. Thanks for continuing the A-Z countdown. I'm sure I'll find out other things I never knew about him.

Gimme some truth
The only things I can think of from this song is....when he says Tricky Dicky, hes referring to Nixon, and it even became a nickname of him after Watergate.
George plays on Guitar, and Klauss (from Plastic Ono Band, Designer of Revolver Album) plays bass.
He also started working on the song during let it be, which is what the video below is, along with others.

Attica State(John Lennon/Yoko Ono)[Sometime in New York City] The Attica Correctional Facility is a prison in Attica, New York. In September 1971 there was a riot at the prison which resulted in the deaths of 43 people, including both prisoners and guards. John and Yoko wrote the song "Attica State" on the night of John's 31st birthday and recorded it for inclusion on their "Sometime in New York City" album the following March. They performed the song live on several occasions - in December 1971 as part of their "Ten For Two" concert and again at the Apollo Theater, and in January 1972 on both The David Frost Show and The Mike Douglas Show. OMG, isn't that the prison that scumbag chapman is in? That's freaky.
