When we start equating songwriting and singing to genius, you realize just how shallow we have become as a society.
but what do I do know...

To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.

He was a very troubled boy and young man (absent father, slutty mother, who he basically saw killed when hit by a bus, brought up by Auntie, horribly near sighted, not good at school) who managed to take all that adolescent angst and turn it into lyrics, melody, humor, a unique vocal style, and combined that with a natural bent for leadership.
Genius? In the eye of the beholder. Mistakes in his own life? Beyond question. More accomplished than probably anyone who would comment on this topic? Definitely.

Maybe he was a genius,
but Pete was Best!

John Lennon was a genius as a Beatle. What they had and did together was a kind of magic.

Genius? really? John L was a very clever songwriter.
Genius = Mozart, Beethoven, Ravel, Haydn, Handel, JS Bach, Copland, Stravinsky, Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Mahler and on and on..
as far as songwriters I’d say true genius was:
Irving Berlin,George Gershwin and Rodgers and Hammerstein.

Well, let us look at the facts as we know them, and all we need to know about John is that he had no belief in, nor fear of God.
Now we look at Pslams 41:1 and we learn that,
The fool has said in his heart, "There is no God."
Then we look at Proverbs 17:1 which tells us,
The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Then add those to what Proverbs 9:1 tells us,
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
So to answer your question....
No, John Lennon was not only a fool, but he was a very ignorant and unintelligent one at that! 62 posted on
