Fans have been left shocked by disturbing footage of John Lennon mocking disabled people.
The Beatles legend was an inspiration to many, but over the years his darker side has been revealed - and TV show It Was Alright In The 1960s has brought him back under fire.

But he was right - the Beatles were more popular than Jesus at the time. He didn’t say it in a boastful manner, but to point out the ridiculousness of it. He hated and never understood the fascination with the Beatles.
Take a look behind the facades of ALL those posers and you'll find just as much villainy. Your heroes are trash, or at the very least, human beings with feet of clay.
It’s really not that different for Jerry Lewis’ old routine from the same time frame. Different time, different world.
He didn’t say it was a good thing, he said it was pretty sad, nobody ever includes that part of the quote though.
Yoko is standing right next to him and NOT ONE SINGLE BULLET!!!
Explain THAT to me!
Chapman was a bad shot. Or karma ain't all it's cracked up to be.
He also wrote Taxman.
It sure was. I was a teenager in the early '60s and making fun of the handicapped and people with, shall we say mental impairment (we called them "retards"), was an everyday occurrence at school.
Ok pre Maharishi then. Before they got political at least before they let the world know of their politics
That was George.
John was a peacenik, but got fed up with the commies who tried to use him. Today, he'd be more like a libertarian with those views.
I was in high school at the time, and was in love with a girl who was totally devastated by it. Unfortunately, she didn't want me to 'comfort' her. We're still friends all these years later.
“Evidently not so easy he could do it because he was worth 40 million when he died”
I’ve heard it was more like $800 million. McCartney’s worth $1.2 billion now.
I’m shocked and horrified. And I thought ISIS was awful. Need to be a graphic warning label on it.
I’m not.
No, they learned about pills in Hamburg. They used them to stay awake during their 8 hour gigs. Bob Dylan introduced them to pot in the mid-sixties.
Nobody understood it (The Tsunami that was Beatlemania), then or now. That mass hysteria filled a spiritual need at that time. Some think America was still vulnerable after the assassination of President Kennedy, and were eager to glom onto anything positive and hopeful. Another example was Tulip-Mania in Holland around 1630. The intrinsic value of average tulip bulbs shot sky high for a while, some got rich, while others lost everything overnight. The tulip was a rarity in that part of the world then, so there was tremendous status value in owning them.
actually they said towards the end of his life he became a big fan of Ronald Reagan....of course this film was just before the time he became a “peacenik”...
and blind- dude could’ve had any woman in the world and he chose Yoko Ono...

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! :-D
What surprises me here is how so many folks who grew up in the 50’s and 60’s and 70’s are acting so self righteous as though they and their friends NEVER made “idiotic” faces to make each other laugh.
We ALL did that back then. There wasn’t any PC then.
So why are we so happily stomping on a guy who died 35 years ago for doing the same thing WE were doing - 50 years ago?
That is what I find disgusting.. Okay, flame away...
