More recently, reports have surfaced in a soon to be released documentary that late in life, Lennon had grown ashamed of the political naivete of his early years and though unable to vote for him because of his British citizenship, had become a supporter of Ronald Reagan during his run for the presidency in 1980.
"John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on Jimmy Carter," Seaman told filmmaker Seth Swirsky. "He did express support for Reagan, which shocked me....I also saw John embark in some really brutal arguments with my uncle, who's an old-time communist... He enjoyed really provoking my uncle... Maybe he was being provocative... but it was pretty obvious to me he had moved away from his earlier radicalism...He was a very different person back in 1979 and '80 than he'd been when he wrote 'Imagine.' By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy's naivete."

Not me. I was born conservative. Or maybe it was from watching Conan the Barbarian as a kid.
Hey I was shocked when I saw that Seamen interview at the end of “Beetles Stories” (I think I saw it on Netflix).
FREEPERS bashed me when I tried to tell them that Lennon supported Reagan.
I hope they are still around and notice this...
Apparently didn’t keep the star from being a leftist.
It applied to the hypocrisy of the Left even then.
They’re the same now; they chatter about human rights and equality blah blah but in the end they’re just deranged control freaks who will use violence and terror to get their way, so in what way are they different from the people they supposedly oppose?
McCartney always said they were just musicians, didn’t understand the fuss. Being on the side of peace didn’t mean they agreed with Chairman Mao as John pointed out...
that is not nice. just call her a sick libral besides trying to get hillery to kill yoko is not going to work unless she is due to testify.
John was a walking contradiction. Had he lived he would’ve supported RR, then soured on him and supported Mondull, then every Dem afterwards. He likely would let conservative opinions leak then apologize or clarify to save face with his celebrity friends.
Awww, killjoy...
Steroids screw up your endocrine system
Lol
You’d think given the main side-effect of shrinking your junk, most guys would give steroids a wide berth. Better to have a big love muscle and small pecs than big pecs and a shrunken love muscle.
