"CHRISTIANITY will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn't argue about that, I'm right and I will be proved right. Forgot why I disliked Lennon so much.

John and Paul had made up by the time of John's death. John was one messed up guy for a while.

"JOHN Lennon was almost as famous for his biting HALFwit as he was for his music."
Corrected.

My son doesn't know who John Lennon was. My son is a youth minister; perhaps Mr. Lennon's popularity is waning.

Another sub moron from the left. The supposedly erudite Lennon was really a fool.

Genius? From this he sounds more like he was an egomaniac.

Lennon.
A great entertainer.
A lousy world statesman.
That he acheived such Guru status shows the lack of depth and understanding of the looney left.
To: ncountylee
Lennon's overrated.
Genius is what an Einstein or a Mozart or what a shakespeare did. This yuppie-hippe got drugged and wrote some songs that sold a while. OK. so?

"ELVIS really died the day he joined the army. That's when they killed him and the rest was a living death."Yeah, that' pure genius right there.
I don't recall where I read it, but it was a review of a Lennon album where the critic said of Lennon's work (and I paraphrase), "This guy could back up to a microphone and sing out his @ss and he'd sell a million records". Obviously, John did just that on more than one occassion.

"ELVIS really died the day he joined the army. That's when they killed him and the rest was a living death." Here head, have some more crack.
Who discovered that you could call someone special or interesting, then make millions by parading that freak (ummm, "John") in a figurative three-ring circus side-show that we call "entertainment"? And people DREAM of this role?
Celebrities. *PUKE*
(At least Elvis understood his role... shut-up and sing!)

Too bad John is dead. It would be fun hearing him spout off endlessly about Islam, Palestinians, Israel, President Bush, the US, etc, and organizing peace concerts. As long as the money kept coming in.
"Imagine no possesions, I wonder if you can,..."
Actually, I can't imagine that. Even socialists own something -- usually bad breath and a hidden stash of cash. Even John owned something. In fact, he owned millions of those somethings.

ON (GEORGE)HARRISON "HE was working with two brilliant songwriters and he learnt a lot from us. I wouldn't have minded being George, the invisible man, and learning what he learned."
Lennon was always my least favorite of the lot. Harrison of course was my favorite. I'd put Derek W. Dick (Fish - ex-Marillion) up against Lennon in a battle for best songwriter any day.
Lennon was a drugged out socialist/Marxist who wrote some good songs... come to think of it, Fish is a drugged out socialist who writes good songs. What is it about drugged out socialists that they write good songs?

ON ROLLING STONES
"EVERY f****** thing we did, Mick does exactly the same. I think it's a joke."
"In the 80s, they'll be asking, 'Why are those guys still together?' They will be showing pictures of the guy with lip-stick wriggling his ass and the four guys with the evil black make-up on their eyes trying to look raunchy. That's gonna be the joke."
I have to say that he was pretty much right on about this one, though.

So,if John and Yoko really wanted us to "imagine no possessions",does that mean that he didn't leave Yoko or his kids a dime? Did he,instead,leave his dough to the UN?
To: ncountylee
Jesus I know, John is just a faint memory to me and a "who?" to my children.
