I concede - you've won the Internet for today!! I knew "We're Bigger Than Jesus" Lennon took one too many tabs of the Bad Acid when he threw his own son Julian and wife overboard for that screeching, air-raid siren, talentless dingbat Yoko OH NO!!. I've never been much of a Beatles fan and have yet to be presented with anything to change my perspective. Hip-hip-hypocrisy

YEAH, bay-bee

Me either, they can't even compete with the Rolling Stones, IMO.

Some people go against the grain and are part of the counter-culture. Lennon was that. Today, the counter-culture is MAGA. In my opinion, there is a good chance that Lennon would have rejected fascism and supported free speech. He could have been a positive voice. Lennon was anything but predictable, which is why I think it would be entirely possible.

Good chance? The facts are that he was a wife-beater and a communist. If that hurts your feeling because you like 'she loves me yeah, yeah, yeah', oh well. Facts are facts.

So? Charlie Manson was also "counter-culture", do you want to be like him too?

ridiculous comparison. I'm saying he wouldn't have conformed. It's all speculative anyway.

Even the Liberals admit it and they worship Lennon (and Lenin). The song's name is in this thread.
