“Looks like he got his looks from his father.”

With any luck he got his musical talent from his father, not his mother!

When I used to be on twitter, I’d occasionally see re-tweets from Sean Lennon. He’s long seemed like a closet conservative.

But when you talk about destruction
Don't you know that you can count me out

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

His dad became a Reagan supporter right before he was killed.

Say what you like about John Lennon, he was a bad guy, whatever.

But I think he was an intelligent man, he made up his own mind about things, and he didn’t let people lead him around by the nose mentally.

I don’t know how he is as a musician be from what I’ve heard him say he seems to mostly have his head on straight.

Sean really seems like a pretty good dude.

I posted this earlier, but I wonder what it would be like to hear your deceased father sing a song that he wrote about you.

Can ya really hold a grudge against an imperfect father who wrote such a beautiful, sweet song to his baby? I play it for my grandson often and I'm glad John wrote it.

Close your eyes
Have no fear
The monster's gone
He's on the run
And your daddy's here

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day, in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Out on the ocean, sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we'll both just have to be patient

'Cause it's a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
Yes, it's a long way to go
But in the meantime

Before you cross the street
Take my hand
Life is what happens to you
While you're busy making other plans

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Before you go to sleep
Say a little prayer
Every day, in every way
It's getting better and better

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful boy

Darling, darling, darling
Darling Sean

Good night, Sean
See you in the morning
Bright and early

Rejecting DEI is as easier than shooting fish in a barrel. The whole notion of DEI is like low-hanging rotten fruit of ridiculousness. You have to deceive yourself into believing a whole pack of lies to support it.

John Lennon was ahead of his time (by the way, that's Julian in the photo. Not Sean)

There was a book a few years ago where a friend of John Lennon’s said he gotten conservative in his middle aged and was actually a closet Reagan supporter.

When this photo came out I was so thrilled I painted my closeet door with psychodelic colors and my own illustration of John Lennon as a kind of a cartoon drawing.

Looking at it now I still feel those ‘flutters’.

Sigh. That time, those dreams and hopes, my optimistic girlhood.

How old is Sean Lennon now, in his 50s? Older than John Lennon ever got to be. I'd assume if he had any musical talent we'd have heard it by now. But Sean, like Elon Musk and many others, seems to have been red-pilled - good for him.

Born on same day as his dad, Oct 9—
in 1975. Half brother Julian was born in
1963.
So Sean is now 48

We should always call them diversity, inclusion, equity (DIE) initiatives. More reflective of the outcomes.

I searched images of Lennon’s Rolls Royce to double check the license plate, I figured it was shopped. There are many photos with many different front plates, but I found this B&W photo. Maybe “FJB” is legit?
