Drugs, drugs, and more drugs. Delusion - Yoko [Exhibit A, your honor]. Drugs, drugs, Ravi Shankar, Buddah, Hari Krishna hey, hey, hey......finally? More drugs, drugs and drugs......please!
Interesting story.
But EVERY liberal has the same fantasy — that THEY get to control everyone else.
Conservatives want to control their lives and their businesses.
Liberals want to control YOUR life and YOUR business.
Period.
Oh, and liberals love to tax, regulate, and destroy in order to transfer wealth to themselves when they can’t do it on their own.
Lennon was also an avid drug addict which could also explain his strange political thinking.
If he were alive today and on FR, he would be IMO on libertarian threads talking about how great legalizing pot would be for America.
Rumor has it that John Lennon was at a NFL MNF game in the early 70’s and was tutored on the finer points of the American game by Ronald Reagan.
Apparently both got along quite well.
One wonders if Lennon had a change of heart on his political leaning once he hit his late 30’s.
Heh.. I got the “White Album” at Christmastime in 1968. Played it a zillion times and still have it. I always liked the rocking single version of Revolution (which had come out prior to, and wasn’t on the white album) much better than the slow, album version.
“The young, in particular, were on the march, trying to ‘kick out the jams’ as the gritty Detroit band MC5 urged, and to end not only ‘the’ war in Vietnam, but the very idea of war.”
Those who won’t fight for their freedom - including war - will live as slaves. Sadly, a huge number of leftist useful idiots choose the latter.
It’s hard to take seriously someone who sings about having no possessions yet moved into a $10 million dollar penthouse overlooking Central Park to avoid paying taxes in his home country
Exactly. Lennon was a jerk.
Good point!
One of the DJs on a New York City classic rock station once noted how he used to see Lennon driving around Manhattan in his $200,000+ Bentley.
John Lennon never should have been born.
I was never impressed by lennon or his no talent wife.
I’ve heard that Lennon was an admirer of Ronald Reagan. I don’t know if it’s true.
This article is wrong. In an alternate version of Revolution on the same album, Lennon sings “when you talk about destruction, don’t you know that you can count me out - in”.
Lennon spend the last years of his life doped up in the Dakota.
*Bump*
