Both were equals in the songwriting craft. The problem is that because Lennon died tragically some people tend to think that he was greater. He was great but not greater than Paul, they were just meant to write together.
paul had trouble writing serious songs, and while he may be a part of PETA, his songs never dealt or helped with any sort of charitable matter, paul never meant to make the world a better place with his music, he just wanted to have fun, his songs are just supposed to be fun, where as john was deeply concerned for the wellfare of our planet, and he intended to do everything he could to help the world with his music. so it's hard to say if one was better because they both had different motives.
Martin Luther King,Jr. knew what violence was, he experienced it firsthand and his followers too. He was incarcerated, beaten, and finally shot and he really did change the world we live in.
Fighting evil means suffering in the frontlines, it means being beaten unjustly. Lennon was just flying in his ephemeral world of Lucy in the sky with diamonds. That's why I say he was naive.
yeah that's right, anyone who hasn't experienced descrimination shouldn't care about it, that's a great way to think. you're a fucking idiot, no intelligent person is going to go out and get beaten on purpose, just to gain the respect of assholes like you. the real naive people are the ones who only care about things that affect THEM, and cause THEM pain, I've never been raped before so I guess If i could stop someone trying to rape a little girl I should just stand by and watch right? asshole.
LISTEN TO YOURSELF YOU FUCKING IDIOT! you're suggesting that you have to be beaten to know what violence, john never avoided anything so you're trying to make a point that you simply can't make. you're so fucking stupid it's just fascinating you can manage to breath on your own. you just keep suggesting over and over again '' NOOOOOO! YOU HAVE TO BE BEATEN TO KNOW WHAT VIOLENCE IS!, I'M RIGHT BECAUSE I'M AN IDIOT!'' just accept the fact that you're mildly retarded.
@ledZeppelin7680 I noticed that you verbally abused every single one of the subjects you were talking too. To qoute John Lennon, how do you sleep?? It must be a drag to be a miserable fuck like yourself!
@Yellyist yeah, well when a human is forced to share a planet with apes like you, drugs are the only way around bitterness. I don't give a fuck how pathetic your life is, you trying to start an argument over something 2 years old is just sad. I know, you have no friends so you'll look for conversation anywhere, but I'm not going to ignore how pathetic that is. stop talking.
@ledZeppelin7680 There you go again. Haha, you`re so predictable. I have lots of friends, but i don`t believe you have any. No one likes a asshole like yourself!
@Yellyist maybe you should learn how to speak english before you try arguing with people on the internet. enjoy the rest of your pathetic life, I'm not wasting my time talking to an inbred american.
@ledZeppelin7680 Smoking weed vs. snorting heroin: Apples and oranges. And if you think John didn't also smoke weed until the day he died- I suggest reading Fred Seaman's very detailed book- he was the one who always picked up.
@heatwhisperedtrees yeah, I don't really see the big deal with marijuana, it's alot less harmful than alcohol and ciggarettes. I mean sure, I think using the drug is just pointless and stupid but I still support the legalization of it.
@chinchonchinchon John was not a drug addict when he died, and he was in good health. i don`t know where your so called facts are from, but you`re been duped. Cause John died because of five bullets, not because of drugs, and he was in excellent shape when he died.
@Enslaved10 ... Yeah, John wasn't abusing heavy drugs around the time he died but to say he was in excellent shape is outrageous. He rarely ate, was severely underweight and the doctors who tried to save his life are quoted speaking very frankly about the unfortunate state of his body.
@ledZeppelin7680 You`re feeding the stereotypes yeah, Paul was the moron, and John was the cool one! You call yourself LedZeppelin so i guess you`re no expert on McCartney. Paul McCartney is first and foremost the best popsongwriter that has ever lived. Look at his catalogue. No one comes close to having so many classics in his songbook You also seem to forgive and forget Johns violent behaviour and his treatment of his first wife and Julian. They`re both scared to this day because of John.
@chinchonchinchon {aul seems worried that John got shot, George had brain cancer, & Paul had a heart surgery for fast pulsating heartbeat that he'll be gone pretty soon. Ringo dies after Paul from hard work exhaustion?

Yes, while he wrecked his own body with drugs...
nice way in which to help the cause...

lol john stopped using drugs in 1976 and paul got arrested for using marijuana in 1982. you're fucking retarded.
ledZeppelin7680 2 years ago
Oh, such a thing is personal, Were you by his side to check if he really did?
Addicts can relapse into use of drugs and they won't tell it.
Lennon was a good man, I don't deny it but he was naive as a politician.
chinchonchinchon 2 years ago
apperantly he was naive because he didn't believe in violence.
ledZeppelin7680 2 years ago
Oh, this is such a naive comment:
Martin Luther King,Jr. knew what violence was, he experienced it firsthand and his followers too. He was incarcerated, beaten, and finally shot and he really did change the world we live in.
Fighting evil means suffering in the frontlines, it means being beaten unjustly. Lennon was just flying in his ephemeral world of Lucy in the sky with diamonds. That's why I say he was naive.

get your head out of your ass and try to reply in a coherent manner before I laugh and shit on my pants.
Your reply doesn't make any sense at all!
chinchonchinchon 2 years ago
maybe to someone who doesn't understand basic english, but I think the problem here is that you're willfully ignorant.
ledZeppelin7680 2 years ago
No, Martin Luther King didn't go out on the streets to get beaten on purpose. You are an ignoramous child, so was Lennon regarding peace.
To attain peace it is necessary to suffer tremendously, not just write crappy tunes like: If there were no heaven...
