Nutopia: John and Yoko's Conceptual Country

In an April 1973 press conference, John Lennon and Yoko Ono
declared the birth of Nutopia, a "conceptual country" founded in
response to John's ongoing immigration struggles. In past weeks,
Nutopia has resurfaced online through a new website.


We look at the history of Nutopia's founding, born out of John's
wild journey to U.S. citizenship. And we explore the newest
incarnation of Nutopia as an online presence, just in time for
the  50th anniversary release of John's album, Milk and
Honey.


Plus, we dive in to the brand new Lennon/McCartney song—Sean
Lennon and James McCartney, that is! And we answer the age-old
question: "does a Maccarita contain orange juice?"
