This day in music history.

March 12, 1974, During a period of separation between John and Yoko, Harry Nielsen and John Lennon are at the Troubador Club in Los Angeles. During Tom Smothers' comedy act the pair start heckling and when Smothers manager tried to get them to shut up John ended up punching him in the face. Lennon and Nilsson were ejected from the club. Once outside John got into a fight with a photographer who had photographed John wearing a tampon stuck to his forehead.
Nobody Loves You When Your Down And Out by John Lennon
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine
I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine
I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see,
ooo wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep,
ooo wee!
Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground
