The man than penned songs about peace and brotherhood, nearly beat a man to death. He was a control freak and used violence as a tool. Such is the human race.
Like Elvis? I loved him but he was a total prick too. But that's topic for a different thread.I have a theory about such people. Your REAL personality comes out when you have more money than god. From outside it seems like someone was a "nice guy" and then they come into a mountain of money and for some people, their personality changes for the better, for some, for the worse. There is no reason to think the John Lennon was a particularly good fellow, shouldn't be surprised when he is revealed to be a jerk.
I like a lot of his music. I love a ton of Beatles songs. I can like an artist's music without liking the artist very much. Elton John, John Lennon, Linda Ronstadt, and others fall into that category.Yes. I think so. "Imagine" was a full on ode to communism. I still love Lennon. He was a brilliant neurotic artist rife with contradictions.
He was a full on Communist as well.

“According to Rolling Stone Magazine, he (John Lennon) claimed to be a “radical leftist.” When you were raised in the 1960s, this is what we call being an ‘anti-war activist.’ According to Yoko Ono, John Lennon was a communist. He was a socialist in the broadest sense. He was an activist in the anti-war movement and, like his music, his art. Lennon was fond of attacking America on numerous occasions, despite his belief in peace. If you were on campus during that time, you would have heard both peace and anti-Americanism.”He was a full on Communist as well.
