He is still revered around the world as a peace-loving working class hero.
But by the time he died, John Lennon was a closet conservative embarrassed by his radical past, according to his former personal assistant.
Fred Seaman claims that the former Beatle was a fan of Ronald Reagan, who went on to become America’s Republican president in 1981 and forged a close political alliance with Margaret Thatcher.

total bs..
Maybe the quote “If you’ re not a liberal when you’re 20...” is in play here.
Absolutely. Ray Stevens is a good example.
I thought the same after they wrote “Taxman” when faced with a 95% tax rate.
Actually I think this is one of the songs George Harrison wrote and sang.....
It’s the Tax Man?
I think it works like this: You label a bunch of addled lefties “conservative” and then you can call the rest of us “right wing extremists.”
And Herman, he of the Herman’s Hermits, was a closet Pat Paulsen libertarian before he died.
I wonder what was the rhythm guitar player of Dave Clark Five, don’t you?
Well I believe he was also engaged to be married to one of Bobby Kennedy’s sisters. Don’t forget Bobby was the number 2 person on his committee-Roy Cohen was #1.
Thanks for ruining my lunch with the Ronstadt photo. Lennon was/is no different than many younger people. Churchill famously said (paraphrasing), If you are young and a conservative, you don’t have a heart; if you are old and still a liberal, you don’t have a brain.” Nuff said I believe.
I apologize. I should have said “It would suck to me”.
Herman (Peter Noone) is playing Beaver Creek, CO tonight.
Poor poor pitiful her.
John Lennon liked Reagan and Thatcher? Who’d have thought?
You guys buy this?
I wonder how Yoko felt about it.
If so, good for him. I was always a “Paul” fan, but his bilge when he accepted whatever award from Soetoro and his serenading of the First Fata$$ with the song “Michelle” turned me off from him. Perhaps I might land in the “John” camp.
Yoko. Nah, I'll get booted if I type what I'm thinking.
