"I hear people (women) say that Lennon should have asked her to give them some space or whatever, and I agree he's as much at fault. But it's just bizarre to me that someone could be such a social spastic to just continue being there when clearly you're not wanted."
"Attacking Trump? Insulting Eric Clapton, John Lennon and classic rock in general? Kissing girls? Please. Maybe if it was still the 60s someone would actually give a fuck."
"She could feel he was a huge pervert who liked to pee and fart on hookers and put cameras in women's bathrooms, that's why she sabotaged that performance with Lennon."
"The thought of an ultra-rich, dead-beat dad, wife-beating hippie lecturing me about how nationalism and religion can cause violence, as if I hadn't paid attention to any piece of history for the last two thousand years, makes my blood boil. I know it's a cute and well-intentioned song but I can't st"
"Wrote 'Imagine' yet was a rich devout materialist. Communist sympathizer yet supported Reagan. Always talked about 'love' yet was a dick to everyone and abandoned his son. Legitimized blatant con artist Yoko Ono as a real artist, who clearly lied to him and manipulated him. Blamed Paul for breaking "
"No they are not the greatest "musicians" or whatever, but the fact is McCartney + Lennon is the most prolific songwriting duo of all time."
"Something about these performative moralizing displays is so slimy to me and it's hard to articulate why without looking like the bad guy. Like, give me a fucking break, I know you aren't this invested in John Lennon's life"
"It's like an endlessly mutating version of guys smugly announcing that oh, don't you know, John Lennon hit his wife."
"If you want to be truly unique you should think Lennon was the best. An option that immediately puts you on the defence and has screenshots of Women is the ****** of the world popping up in your replies, the is world against you and going for your neck, forcing you to condemn anything controversial "
"He gets choked up about liking The Beatles despite John Lennon beating his wife."
"John Lennon should have been shot earlier."
"Do you think Geffen saw the John Lennon murder $$$$ surge and saw the dope sick cash cow on his hands and got to thinking?"
"No longer do men want to become Napoleon, George Washington or Alexander the Great. They want to be John Lennon, James Dean or Kurt Cobain. We have the 27 Club now."
"John Lennon wouldn't be much different except he'd have a smug condescending tone to everything he says and be even grosser physically-wise."
"After playing The Replacements, bauhaus, John Lennon and the like for months it's time to work in some contemporary bands."
"People say "just ignore them" and that works most of the time but it also only takes one very persistent and regarded enough idiot to actually go John Lennon on your ass."
"We were just, 'Brigitte Bardot!' 'Whoo!' and then everyone would thrash a bit more... I think it was John sort of said, 'Winston Churchill!' McCartney remembers, and acts out the aghast, stymied reactions."
"the song is just about peace, love and longing for a world where human beings don't maim each other mercilessly"
"This video of him trying not to cry while listening to Beautiful Boy by John Lennon is so sweet."
