Thanks. I needed that.
You just made me even more satisfied with my own life choices.
At the time, I was too busy studying to notice all the hippy twittery was going on. The Beatles were just another annoying band this git would play all night in the lab on a radio he'd sneak into the lab. They still are.

I know you spent a lot of time on this, but why?
John Lennon was one of the great rock 'n' rollers, the Beatles were a true entertainment phenomenon, and their music still rocks and has a lot to say. They're not dated, not a bit.
That's an extraordinary accomplishment. Politics ain't everything.
Yes, John Lennon is missed. His death was a tragedy. Had he lived, there is very little doubt the Beatles would have made more music together, after rifts had been healed by time, and might even have toured.
John -- and George -- were a big part of lots of our lives. Lots of us are sorry they are gone.

Chapman was a complete ass, if it weren't for him the sh1tbag hippy would have been forgotten about.

The man was a brilliant musician and regardless of his antics (if we were to hold every public figure to such standards, we'd hate everybody), he deserves the accolades and tribute bestown upon him. Brilliant musician he may have been. I never cared for his stuff myself.
However, if ever there were a worthwhile cause for inventing a time machine, it would be to go back to 1966 and tell Lennon to "Shut Up and Sing". Repeatedly.
That ... and avoid Number 102, Southampton Row. At all costs.

I can forgive Britain for the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, but not for sending the Beatles to America. The Beatles took good American Rock and Roll down the toilet. The musicality of their singing sucked. Acid rock and worse followed. They drove a stake through the heart of American Pop music so thoroughly that today, young singers can't sing. And, soccer moms make their kids listen to the Beatles telling them what great musicians they were. The Beatles SUCK.

What bugs me is that people play and sing his song
"Imagine" as a peace song. It is anything but a peace song. It is basically the communist manifesto set to music.
no heaven, no countries, no possessions, come on join us it is easy if you try....

The answer to that question is 'absopositively.' Lennon was a great musician. Move on.

I have to agree with you. Beatles who. Never was a fan. Same with the Stones. Still do not like their music.

Oh yes, the hippie hippie days. Everyone was a Beatles fan. No. Not everyone.

I was a Beatle freak but I never bought into it to the point I would do totally stupid things... actually, you can do stupid things without being a Beatle freak, without the blessing of John Lennon. But the I did appreciate his music, and still do. I feel sorry that Lennon died the way he did but that is the price of being a celebrity. I believe he was talented, messed up and totally an egotistical hypocrite (I love it when millionaires sing "All You Need Is Love" and don't give away their base lucre) though he did love life and should NOT be considered a candidate for sainthood!!!! He did a lot of over the top mistakes but everybody seems to want to overlook the man for the myth... a myth perpetuated by the record industry. So he has become an icon, a "Legend", a great human being deserving of partial respect for great melody (and some wisdom about love in the Beatle early years)... and, yes, you'll see his face at Hard Rock Cafes when eating a burger... but that should be about it!

Most of those morons think they're burning candles for Lenin.
