And this came from the same guy who declared to the world press, “(The Beatles) are more popular than Jesus Christ”.

He said that to a British journalist specifically about Great Britain and he was right. He was also being critical of that situation.

“Christianity will go. It will vanish and shrink. I needn’t argue about that; I’m right, and I will be proved right. We are more popular than Jesus now; I don’t know which will go first — rock’n’roll or Christianity. Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It’s them twisting it that ruins it for me.”
— John Lennon

“Good riddance John Lennon”

Correct. He also said more men were on the golf course then at Church services on Sunday mornings. He was pointing out the hypocrisy of some Christians. As for his personal life, obviously a mess. His old man ran off when he was a boy, and his mother was killed by a hit and run when he was 15, if memory serves me correctly. Not excuses, just facts that probably provide some reasons as to his behavior, assuming any of those things are true. Some authors will say anything, anything, to sell a book. Pigs.
