First they tore down Gen. Lee’s statue and nobody cared.
John Lennon was all over the place politically. He was eventually totally corrupted by an utterly untalented, gold-digging repulsive skank.
Surprisingly, Sean has turned into a pretty good musician.
Because we now honor the destroyers, not the builders of civilization.
Wow, I did not know that.
John Lennon was killed by a fan allegedly disgusted that he lived so well after imagining a world with no possessions...

Remember...this is the same man who said, at the height of the Beatles’ fame, “We’re more popular than Jesus Christ”.
Not the statement of a clear-thinking man.
The other day, the car in front of me had a license plate frame that said, “Still pissed at Yoko”. LOL
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.
If you listen to what he actually said and his “apology” afterwards (forced by the press) he said he was astonished that youth were holding the Beatles up more than they were holding up God and that it was crazy. He didn’t say The Beatles were greater or better, he said the world was treating them like they were. He wasn’t comparing himself or the group to God...the world was. Context means everything.
And then there was The Rutles:
In the summer of 1966, Ron Nasty was widely quoted by saying that the Rutles were bigger than God. He went on to say that God had never gotten a hit record.
In response to this, many fans burnt their albums, many more burnt their fingers trying to burn their albums. Album sales skyrocketed, as people began to buy the albums, simply to burn them.
It would later turn out that it was all a great misunderstanding. Nasty, whilst talking to a slightly deaf journalist, stated that the Rutles were bigger than Rod Stewart, who would not be big for another eight years.
In an interview on the subject, Ron stated that this proved that “[we’re] all daft— I’ll probably get in trouble for that now.” Nasty apologised to God and Rod to these statements.
