I love Lennon. He's one of my favorite lyricists/songwriters of all time.

you suck at lying.. anyways..

john lennon is a amazing song writer.. he is also a good singer.. but not the best singer.. i like his writing more then bob Dylans only because i'm not the biggest bob fan.. but i still think he is a amazing song writer. (but a rather bad actor, but that goes for both of them) john lennon to me was much better off without the beatles. after all we got to see a much more amazing side of him, i think if it wasn';t for yoko John wouldn't have been so inspried to write such great msuic.. considering alot of the songs are about her.. as we all know.. and or should know..

john lennon is amazing man, as he is not with us today he still changes people's lives in my opinion.. which makes him amazing..

^ amen.

in around 69' (abbey road) he was really depressed and suicidal, and if he wasnt with yoko, he said he wouldve killed himself. he thought he was the reincarnation of jesus, walking around in a white suit and a big beard.

1976/7 (when he was making album 'rock and roll') yoko told him he could take a break from married life, and spend a year without her, doing what he pleases. john went on a wild binge, getting drunk every night, passing whisky bottles out of moving cars to his fellow musicians, walking out of womens toilets with a tampons on his head. him and his band were always trashing the studio, uprooting trees, until one day they were finally kicked out after phil spector shot a gun in the cafeteria. anyway, so you get the point, he was nuts without her. so nuts, that one night, after another binge, he got so out of control that phil and one of the backup musicians had to force him into a car, and hold him down, desperately trying to restrain him while he was kicking in the windows from inside, hitting phil in the face, and kicking everything in the car, screaming at the top of his lungs "YOKO, I WANT YOKO ONO, YOKO!!!!!!!!" and so on. as much as i dislike her for ruining the sweet toronto concert, i dont completely hate her, as john lennon worshipped her, and wanted nothing more than to be with her. 'sigh'

im kind of a nerd when it comes to beatles. hope you liked the little anectotes and stories. o well. sad that towards his death, he was at his happiest, he was redeeming himself for hating paul, saying that paul was the only person in the beatles he could relate to. id like to think the beatles could've reformed if he didnt get shot. in the back. 4 or 5 times. grr. me hate humans. horrible species. only upside i can see is some of the great art humans have come up with. (includes muzak)
