From what I understand Lennon was a complicated character. I heard storied about he was going to the right when he was murdered.
We will never know now.

I heard the same stories.
I also listened to an interview in which he defended Dylan's conversion to Christianity.
I’ve read that, but I do believe he’d be an Obama-lovin’ thorn in our side by now. I’m not a huge fan of the Beatles, but I do like the music he was doing right at the end. The critics didn’t, but Watchin’ the Wheels and Just Like Starting Over are good. I wish he was a thorn in our side now. To be murdered by a clown you were trying to be nice to. . . .
For one thing, I found the public views of John Lennon and Yoko Ono on the 1970s-vintage nonsense of overpopulation was remarkable:
Another fascinating story I heard some years ago was from a DJ on a New York City radio station who described how he would frequently see John Lennon driving around in Manhattan in his ridiculously expensive Bentley. And almost every time this guy saw Lennon driving in the warmer weather, the windows of the car would be down and he could hear the same song playing on the car stereo.
The song was "A White Shade Of Pale" by Procul Harum.
