Wow, I did not know that.
I was a democrat in my youth...it’s what you do when you’re young ‘cause you haven’t lived yet and don’t know (I’m always gratified to see young Republicans who had more common sense than I had...I just had emotion). John was young when he went through his liberal stage of life (we forget he was still in his twenties when the Beatles broke up and they’d gone through all the nutsiness and drugs and everything else). As he reached his mid-thirties, he started staying at home to take care of his son, stopped making music for five years, and started to grow up.
