While I agree that he and the rest of the Beatles were VERY overrated, I have to disagree about him being a wanna be hippie at the end. He was a Reagan supporter and was more about self reliance and family values than you might think. He grew up and looked back on his younger self as a moron. Check out this article. Quite the eye opener.
I don't know if Daily Beast is verboten on FR, so if a mod wants to delete the link, I won't complain.
If Reagan turned conservative, perhaps that would explain why Yoko hired Chapman to bump him off. Besides it was her revenge for May Pang. *
