US congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has come out and blamed the pro-Israel Lobby in America (AIPAC, ADL, ZOA, etc) for ruining her political career. While in congress she refused to sign the pro-Israel pledge and took a pro-Palestinian stance. Because of this, McKinney said “war was declared” on her by the Jewish lobby. In 2009 she told TIU's Ognir that “more than 99% of Congress work for Pro Zionist Israeli interests.”

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. Said by the man him self John Lennon. That just shows that he was very bright person at the age of just five years old. May you for ever R.I.P we will always remember you now and forever!
@redbaron1001 LOL, Yes, I got asked the same question as a child, only I answered differently, I answered with , "Well, I don't know what I want to be, but I know what I don't want to be, blinded by social conventions and oblivious to reality. I was about 9-10 yrs old at the time.
There were many who were feeling sick when mqan look back to the time you have father and mother live, and playing this music. I wish they were still alive <3
a mans strongest bond is to his mother, my mother is passing away tonight in slow motion and even as a grown man with my own family the pain is sickening and shocking. Lennon is the only artist who can capture raw emotion through his words and voice, think of jealousy and love and then listen to his songs. If you have kids sing them 'beautiful boy/girl' at bedtime and you'll see what I mean!
A couple of weeks ago,i vist Liverpool.I bought tickets at the information point for the national trust to visit the houses of Lennon and McCartney.When i where at John`s house called Mendips,i was in his bedroom,.,,,and what i felt on that moment is hard to explain.If you ever had the chance and the money visit Liverpool and feel the beatles.For me it was the greatest moment of my whole life....
@hovis1962 ,what do you mean by,did ya walk home....I`ve been in the houses of Lennon and McCartney where they grew up...McCartney grew up at Fortlin road and John Lennon at menlove avenue.You can visit these houses if you buy a ticket by the national trust..it cost you a 20 pounds....
@hovis1962 'Nobody stole your car then'. What a prick you are. You're 49 years of age and you're recycling tired, unfunny jokes like that. No doubt you're from a shitty small town with no history or identity and have regretted it all your life. Twat.

i really do love this song so much power in only a few words when i hear or see anything that john did or has done i feel made up to be from liverpool
As far as I’m concerned, when my mother taught me doggerel of one form or another, she was simply filling the space that nowadays gets filled with TV adverts and pop songs. She taught me utter rubbish, like:
Supposing supposing,
The park gates were closing,
And you’d got your nose in,
Supposing, supposing.
And she would smile every time me or my brother or sister came out with that.
to all those arguing about lennon being working class or not , well , he wasn't , ringo was working class ( he grew up in dingle area by the docks ) the other three grew up in the suburbs , when working class kids leave school they try to find a job to put food on the table , the other three went to art college
John lennon. I live by his lyrics. Im 18 and have grown up with the beatles and would much rather listen to something educational and meaningful such as this compared to the new music like Akon... Point made. Rest In Peace John lennon.
This is a very emotional song, its 1 of 3 of my favorite songs wrote by Lennon the legend.The other 2 R Imagine & working class hero.There's so much depth 2 his songs as with the Beatles songs, of which most are Johns words, i can tell they R by knowing his ways & personality in detail.He was a genius, of which there is no doubt.Those of U that disagree it just show me how deep inside the cave of a closed mind U really R. Peace out, U will forever B in my heart John, the world was not ready 4 U.
@albuorkka Sadly it is... it's a good thing that his Aunt Mimi was around to take care of him. But after his career with the Beatles, things went down. He's a legend but also a bad man, especially when he insulted Paul McCartney in that song :(
@ToxicTurquoise454 His father did care about him. But due to the circumstances,John was forced to choose between his parents,and he chose his mother. Apparently Mimi wasn't pleased with the conditions,so he took him in. But if you look the situation through a little child's eyes,you'd feel as if you've been betrayed. His mother loved him through,maybe not very motherly though. I advice you to read "John Lennon,the life",it really lightened things for me. Although Yoko has something against it...
A great many who actually knew John Lennon when he was alive refered also refered to him as a ''prick". Lennon was a fake and a fraud. Sang about so many issues but lived his life in total contradiction to them. Example? "Work'n Class Hero"? Lennon was a multi-millionaire who lived in a mansion and condo. "Mother''? He abandoned his 1st wife and son just like his father did to him. "Women"? He abused almost all the women in his life, physically and mentally. I could go on and on but .......
@wovokanarchy well that more like the more complete version of lennon...i knew he abandoned his 1st child and wife, and had a crazy temperament..but he remains a musical genuis.
@satchi123 He was a great artist I admit. But a ''musical genuis''? That's pushing common sense now. I think Lennon was great but according to facts of all the 27 Beatles songs to reach number 1, McCartney wrote 14 of the songs and Lennon only 7 and 5 were co-written Harrison wrote ''Something". I'm not a fan of the Beatles and I think McCartney's songs are too ''bubble-gum'' for my taste(and probably why more#1s)and I think Lennon's musical tastes were more ''hard edge'' which something I like
@wovokanarchy, he was not a genius like beethoven..lol..not exactly genuis but to form a band like the beatles and making it have such immense popularity, he must have had amazing creativity and talent.
@wovokanarchy you make some valid points, but he WAS from a working class background. yes the rest is true, but those things happened because of his tough past. this song refers to the fact that he realizes that he's doing the same thing to julian, so he knows that some of what he preaches, he doesn't practice. sometimes you have to be on the wrong side of something to see what exactly is going wrong and unfortunately, he found it too hard to change his ways. he wanted to teach the world to love
@wovokanarchy One HUGE inaccuracy you're propogating here is, though John obviously did acquire large sums of money for his work, he is without a shadow of a doubt a most definite WORKING CLASS HERO. Wealth, intelligence, and/or achievements do not alter what class you're from here in Britain, it's like some sort of anti-deluvian caste system that is ingrained enmasse. His origins are as working class as you're likely to come by, and that's all that matters, and his achievements made a hero.
@DLRS1 That's complete bunk. Bill Clinton and Barak Obama are from poor working class backgrounds are thier past or present policies based on that fact? No, a person's class and values are always altered by a person's wealth and fame. You think Bill Gates values are still the same when he was growing up in a middle class home?? I don't think so. Riding around in a limo and preaching ''peace'' is bullshit.
@wovokanarchy I'm am talking about seeing it through through a British perspective, and you're interpretting it through an American perspective. Britain, unlike America, is not a meritocracy, open your eyes, not everyone's American, and don't tar and feather me I'm not anti-american, but the British class system is almost feudal, and as I stated before, it's practically like a caste system. No matter what you accopmplish, you're still of the class you're born.
@DLRS1 I don't believe that. One only has to look to your future Queen, Kate Middleton, Her life was pretty ordinary and now she stands to be the next Queen of the commenwelth. How about Christopher Hitchens? His views and writings are based on someone whose lived a pretty posh lifestyle but whose origins are ''working class" as you say. Working class in my "American view" is someone who physically works for a living, low pay and no benefits, and most vote Republican. So what does that say?
@wovokanarchy alot of ppl who'd have called him a prick wud also admit to loving him. Sure he's been a hypocrite on a great many occasions, but that doesn't make him a fraud. He's just a human who wore his heart on his sleeve and i think he always sang with an honesty at least to his aspirations. As the man himself said "We're all Hitler inside and we're all Christ inside. It's just to try and work on the good bit of you." I think songs like "Woman" at least show him working to those aspirations
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Well that's the real problem I think. Lennon's fan-base seem to forget he was human with a lot of human failings. Lennon's fan-atics react with horror and anger that is so typical of Lennon's fraudulent claims and beliefs whenever Lennon is criticized. Preach peace but react with threats or hostility. I don't buy the con. Do I like his music? Sure but that doesn't stop me from calling him a fraud.
@wovokanarchy just cus his fans react in such a way doesn't mean he didn't acknowledge the failings in himself, in fact i've listened to interviews where he calls himself and the Beatles the biggest bastards in the business. I love Lennon because he's such a flawed figure even at face value. When he says he's a Working Class Hero i always got the impression he was using the term ironically after all the fanatics labeled him a God and a Working Class Hero, he played with the image
@wovokanarchy because he didn't try to deceive people. He was pretty open about his flaws in his interviews and his music. Doesn't stop sum ppl letting themselves b deceived tho
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Complete rubbish. Watch the Gloria Emerson interview with her and John and Yoko. She has the guts to call Lennon out on the con he presented himself to his fans. He gets very hostile with her candor. Emerson had more depth than all the protests in bed eating caviar and drinking champaign will ever accomplish.
@wovokanarchy Sure she has guts and is in her right to argue against his style of protest, but I wouldn't make it out that Lennon is reacting with hostility to the gall (rather than candor) of calling him a fake. His tone isn't out of line especially considering the tone she takes up. It's not like he's balling out unconfounded, arrogant statements; what he's saying in reply is rater logical (despite keeping faith in an ego which he himself hasn't denied in interviews.)
@wovokanarchy he is arguing for his style of protest, and only for his image insofar as his protests are indebted to his image. You can believe in the effectiveness of what he's done as a peace activist to be null but it is as immeasurable as the depth you claim Gloria Emerson has (I don't know anything about her politics apart from what she says in this interview). You can't put a number on if he has saved a life or not, but his enduring and almost universal image as both a Beatle and a peace..
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Fancy dress just doesn't impress. Wrap it up anyway you like it but it doesn't take away from the fact Lennon was a ''fake'' as Emerson states in her interview. Here you have a multi-millionaire arguing with someone who probably never saw 1 months interest that Lennon recieved in royalties in her lifetime.
@wovokanarchy Do you mean to say he is a fake because he doesn't care about what he's doing so long as it feeds his own ego? Surely you could only guess as much and guess with cynicism at that. The fact that he is rich and she isn't is besides the point anyhow, unless it's to imply that it detaches him from what's really going on. In hindsight it seems Lennon had his finger on the pulse of the times more than she did; she comes across as being very Victorian in the way she regards protesting.
@HuHyaaaaaaagh You summed it all up very nicely actually. Lennon wealth and fame actually ''detached'' himself from the day to day realities of what was actually occurring down on the street in the late 60s. I would say Lennon was more or less a journalist who wrote and sang about what he read in the papers of the day. Big difference from actually experiencing what your singing about from fictionalizing topical subjects into art through hearsay or the media.
@wovokanarchy Well u can only really assume as much. I would say Lennon was a propagandist and saw himself as just that. He knew he had a cult of personality and I always thought the way he exploited it was genius, even back in the days of the Beatles when he was yelling "I am the Walrus" he was being very clever and self-aware, he got exactly the reaction i'd imagine he was looking for. The way he exploited it wasn't fraudulent, I think it was honest to his ego and clever.
@wovokanarchy and the value of experience is hard to measure, like what should he have experienced in order to have the privilege to protest? I don't think experience matters for much in the style of protest he was advocating anyhow. He was like a neon sign pointing you in the direction of experience and I think he knew that through and through. Plus experience? It's too loose a word to hold any conviction
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Yeah, like Porn is a real substitute or alternative to sex. Come on , your obfuscating the original point. He lived his life in total contradiction to what he sang about. Would you think a guy who works and advocates for a women's rights and a women's shelter is a great guy even though he goes home every night and beats the living shit out of his wife ?
@wovokanarchy That Porn comment don't really fit the bill.. He didn't live his life in contradiction to what he sang. When he was young and was a hitter he wrote songs about it, though with a sense of humour like in "You Can't Do That" and "Run for Your Life", and if it didn't have that humour it never would have been put on record. He openly admitted he was a hitter, not trying to put wool over anyone's eyes, but he also said that with Yoko he came to question that attitude and songs like...
@wovokanarchy ..."Jealous Guy" are apologies for that chauvinistic attitude. I don't know where you get the impression that once he was singing on behalf of women's rights that he was using his wife as a punching bag, I've never heard Yoko admit to anything like that.
@HuHyaaaaaaagh There are other forms of abuse other than physical violence although in some books he was known to get physically violent. Oh, and another lesson for you...ever hear of ''battered wife's syndrome"? Look it up.
@wovokanarchy I'm afraid you have failed to enlighten me. What do you mean to imply with that battered wife's syndrome thing? And yes there are other forms of abuse but that's pretty common sense; i'd like to think Lennon was human enough to acknowledge that too when he sought to change his ways with women.
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Look I get it, as with any FANatic of a ''rock star'' or ''movie star'' your unwilling to take any critical comment of your ''gods''. In psychology it says that any attack on symbols or idols that are important to people or person's usually feel being personally attacked also. Radical Muslims or any radical fans typically feel threatened when one's gods are attacked. Lennon is an idol and even a ''god'' to many people around the world but to me he just made some great music. Ok?
@wovokanarchy Well i've actually taken quite a few critical comments concerning Lennon and I don't mind admitting that he could b a straight up bastard and all the rest. I just don't think he was a fraud and I don't think you do get that you don't havta b sum partisan fanatic to believe that to be the case; I wouldn't dismiss or reduce that perspective as mere fanaticism, even though i am a fan and not just a passive observer. If anything ur unnatural cynicism is more radical and obtrusive
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Some really valid points and I have to agree to a point. I admit I have a major problem with multimillionaire celebrities. politicians or even scholars for that matter, telling how people should live, work, vote, or even think. I say they can all go fuck themselves... What's the definition of a cynic? A person who knows the price of every thing and the value of nothing. If that's me...then fuck it, as the Big Lebowski would say.
@HuHyaaaaaaagh activist says something about the influential message he spread after leaving the Beatles. It seems to me like he has the foresight in that interview to recognise the power his own image had and so i don't think he was conning himself or any of his fans, whereas I imagine Emerson didn't anticipate Lennon's enduring image as a staple for peace. Youtube comments don't give enough bloody space..
@wovokanarchy Mm.. Bush was a Motherfucker and a murderer, like every president of USA after WWII, but a fraud is not the word neither, fraud is something that ilegally deceives people, trying to sell you something not useful, etc. Bush and the other pesidents are legal and supported murderers, everyone with common sense knows that vote for them implies war, famine and slavery in other countries.. they don't hide that facts, they are not being fraudulent..
@wovokanarchy This guy, not you, says Lennon was fraudulent because he wrote about peace and understanding, but with his partners and couples he was very violent and somewhat Chauvinist, But i think he was not trying to deceive people with this 2 sides of him... he was just a man with a lot of contradictions, like a lot of people in this world, in wich i include me.. i understand him because i have a similar temperament.. temperamental...
I don't know if Lennon would really have been into the whole writing pointless comments to people who clearly have mush for brains we should pity the poor guy he'll never know true enlightenment if he doesn't love Lennon. Pshh
Very touching song and video. Makes me think a little about Eddie Vedder's story and the father he wished he had known. Pearl Jam songs you might want to listen to # alive # release both in the spirit of JL "Mother"

to all those arguing about lennon being working class or not , well , he wasn't , ringo was working class ( he grew up in dingle area by the docks ) the other three grew up in the suburbs , when working class kids leave school they try to find a job to put food on the table , the other three went to art college

John lennon. I live by his lyrics. Im 18 and have grown up with the beatles and would much rather listen to something educational and meaningful such as this compared to the new music like Akon... Point made. Rest In Peace John lennon.

This is a very emotional song, its 1 of 3 of my favorite songs wrote by Lennon the legend.The other 2 R Imagine & working class hero.There's so much depth 2 his songs as with the Beatles songs, of which most are Johns words, i can tell they R by knowing his ways & personality in detail.He was a genius, of which there is no doubt.Those of U that disagree it just show me how deep inside the cave of a closed mind U really R. Peace out, U will forever B in my heart John, the world was not ready 4 U.

@albuorkka Sadly it is... it's a good thing that his Aunt Mimi was around to take care of him. But after his career with the Beatles, things went down. He's a legend but also a bad man, especially when he insulted Paul McCartney in that song :(
ToxicTurquoise454 11 months ago
@ToxicTurquoise454 His father did care about him. But due to the circumstances,John was forced to choose between his parents,and he chose his mother. Apparently Mimi wasn't pleased with the conditions,so he took him in. But if you look the situation through a little child's eyes,you'd feel as if you've been betrayed. His mother loved him through,maybe not very motherly though. I advice you to read "John Lennon,the life",it really lightened things for me. Although Yoko has something against it...

A great many who actually knew John Lennon when he was alive refered also refered to him as a ''prick". Lennon was a fake and a fraud. Sang about so many issues but lived his life in total contradiction to them. Example? "Work'n Class Hero"? Lennon was a multi-millionaire who lived in a mansion and condo. "Mother''? He abandoned his 1st wife and son just like his father did to him. "Women"? He abused almost all the women in his life, physically and mentally. I could go on and on but .......

satchi123 1 year ago
@satchi123 He was a great artist I admit. But a ''musical genuis''? That's pushing common sense now. I think Lennon was great but according to facts of all the 27 Beatles songs to reach number 1, McCartney wrote 14 of the songs and Lennon only 7 and 5 were co-written Harrison wrote ''Something". I'm not a fan of the Beatles and I think McCartney's songs are too ''bubble-gum'' for my taste(and probably why more#1s)and I think Lennon's musical tastes were more ''hard edge'' which something I like

@wovokanarchy you make some valid points, but he WAS from a working class background. yes the rest is true, but those things happened because of his tough past. this song refers to the fact that he realizes that he's doing the same thing to julian, so he knows that some of what he preaches, he doesn't practice. sometimes you have to be on the wrong side of something to see what exactly is going wrong and unfortunately, he found it too hard to change his ways. he wanted to teach the world to love
n2003cc 11 months ago
@wovokanarchy One HUGE inaccuracy you're propogating here is, though John obviously did acquire large sums of money for his work, he is without a shadow of a doubt a most definite WORKING CLASS HERO. Wealth, intelligence, and/or achievements do not alter what class you're from here in Britain, it's like some sort of anti-deluvian caste system that is ingrained enmasse. His origins are as working class as you're likely to come by, and that's all that matters, and his achievements made a hero.

@DLRS1 That's complete bunk. Bill Clinton and Barak Obama are from poor working class backgrounds are thier past or present policies based on that fact? No, a person's class and values are always altered by a person's wealth and fame. You think Bill Gates values are still the same when he was growing up in a middle class home?? I don't think so. Riding around in a limo and preaching ''peace'' is bullshit.

@wovokanarchy I'm am talking about seeing it through through a British perspective, and you're interpretting it through an American perspective. Britain, unlike America, is not a meritocracy, open your eyes, not everyone's American, and don't tar and feather me I'm not anti-american, but the British class system is almost feudal, and as I stated before, it's practically like a caste system. No matter what you accopmplish, you're still of the class you're born.

@DLRS1 I don't believe that. One only has to look to your future Queen, Kate Middleton, Her life was pretty ordinary and now she stands to be the next Queen of the commenwelth. How about Christopher Hitchens? His views and writings are based on someone whose lived a pretty posh lifestyle but whose origins are ''working class" as you say. Working class in my "American view" is someone who physically works for a living, low pay and no benefits, and most vote Republican. So what does that say?

@wovokanarchy alot of ppl who'd have called him a prick wud also admit to loving him. Sure he's been a hypocrite on a great many occasions, but that doesn't make him a fraud. He's just a human who wore his heart on his sleeve and i think he always sang with an honesty at least to his aspirations. As the man himself said "We're all Hitler inside and we're all Christ inside. It's just to try and work on the good bit of you." I think songs like "Woman" at least show him working to those aspirations
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago 2
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Well that's the real problem I think. Lennon's fan-base seem to forget he was human with a lot of human failings. Lennon's fan-atics react with horror and anger that is so typical of Lennon's fraudulent claims and beliefs whenever Lennon is criticized. Preach peace but react with threats or hostility. I don't buy the con. Do I like his music? Sure but that doesn't stop me from calling him a fraud.
wovokanarchy 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy just cus his fans react in such a way doesn't mean he didn't acknowledge the failings in himself, in fact i've listened to interviews where he calls himself and the Beatles the biggest bastards in the business. I love Lennon because he's such a flawed figure even at face value. When he says he's a Working Class Hero i always got the impression he was using the term ironically after all the fanatics labeled him a God and a Working Class Hero, he played with the image

@HuHyaaaaaaagh Complete rubbish. Watch the Gloria Emerson interview with her and John and Yoko. She has the guts to call Lennon out on the con he presented himself to his fans. He gets very hostile with her candor. Emerson had more depth than all the protests in bed eating caviar and drinking champaign will ever accomplish.
wovokanarchy 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy Sure she has guts and is in her right to argue against his style of protest, but I wouldn't make it out that Lennon is reacting with hostility to the gall (rather than candor) of calling him a fake. His tone isn't out of line especially considering the tone she takes up. It's not like he's balling out unconfounded, arrogant statements; what he's saying in reply is rater logical (despite keeping faith in an ego which he himself hasn't denied in interviews.)
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy he is arguing for his style of protest, and only for his image insofar as his protests are indebted to his image. You can believe in the effectiveness of what he's done as a peace activist to be null but it is as immeasurable as the depth you claim Gloria Emerson has (I don't know anything about her politics apart from what she says in this interview). You can't put a number on if he has saved a life or not, but his enduring and almost universal image as both a Beatle and a peace..
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Fancy dress just doesn't impress. Wrap it up anyway you like it but it doesn't take away from the fact Lennon was a ''fake'' as Emerson states in her interview. Here you have a multi-millionaire arguing with someone who probably never saw 1 months interest that Lennon recieved in royalties in her lifetime.
wovokanarchy 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy Do you mean to say he is a fake because he doesn't care about what he's doing so long as it feeds his own ego? Surely you could only guess as much and guess with cynicism at that. The fact that he is rich and she isn't is besides the point anyhow, unless it's to imply that it detaches him from what's really going on. In hindsight it seems Lennon had his finger on the pulse of the times more than she did; she comes across as being very Victorian in the way she regards protesting.
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago
@HuHyaaaaaaagh You summed it all up very nicely actually. Lennon wealth and fame actually ''detached'' himself from the day to day realities of what was actually occurring down on the street in the late 60s. I would say Lennon was more or less a journalist who wrote and sang about what he read in the papers of the day. Big difference from actually experiencing what your singing about from fictionalizing topical subjects into art through hearsay or the media.
wovokanarchy 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy Well u can only really assume as much. I would say Lennon was a propagandist and saw himself as just that. He knew he had a cult of personality and I always thought the way he exploited it was genius, even back in the days of the Beatles when he was yelling "I am the Walrus" he was being very clever and self-aware, he got exactly the reaction i'd imagine he was looking for. The way he exploited it wasn't fraudulent, I think it was honest to his ego and clever.
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy and the value of experience is hard to measure, like what should he have experienced in order to have the privilege to protest? I don't think experience matters for much in the style of protest he was advocating anyhow. He was like a neon sign pointing you in the direction of experience and I think he knew that through and through. Plus experience? It's too loose a word to hold any conviction
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Yeah, like Porn is a real substitute or alternative to sex. Come on , your obfuscating the original point. He lived his life in total contradiction to what he sang about. Would you think a guy who works and advocates for a women's rights and a women's shelter is a great guy even though he goes home every night and beats the living shit out of his wife ?
wovokanarchy 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy That Porn comment don't really fit the bill.. He didn't live his life in contradiction to what he sang. When he was young and was a hitter he wrote songs about it, though with a sense of humour like in "You Can't Do That" and "Run for Your Life", and if it didn't have that humour it never would have been put on record. He openly admitted he was a hitter, not trying to put wool over anyone's eyes, but he also said that with Yoko he came to question that attitude and songs like...
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy ..."Jealous Guy" are apologies for that chauvinistic attitude. I don't know where you get the impression that once he was singing on behalf of women's rights that he was using his wife as a punching bag, I've never heard Yoko admit to anything like that.

@wovokanarchy I'm afraid you have failed to enlighten me. What do you mean to imply with that battered wife's syndrome thing? And yes there are other forms of abuse but that's pretty common sense; i'd like to think Lennon was human enough to acknowledge that too when he sought to change his ways with women.
HuHyaaaaaaagh 9 months ago
@HuHyaaaaaaagh Look I get it, as with any FANatic of a ''rock star'' or ''movie star'' your unwilling to take any critical comment of your ''gods''. In psychology it says that any attack on symbols or idols that are important to people or person's usually feel being personally attacked also. Radical Muslims or any radical fans typically feel threatened when one's gods are attacked. Lennon is an idol and even a ''god'' to many people around the world but to me he just made some great music. Ok?
wovokanarchy 9 months ago
@wovokanarchy Well i've actually taken quite a few critical comments concerning Lennon and I don't mind admitting that he could b a straight up bastard and all the rest. I just don't think he was a fraud and I don't think you do get that you don't havta b sum partisan fanatic to believe that to be the case; I wouldn't dismiss or reduce that perspective as mere fanaticism, even though i am a fan and not just a passive observer. If anything ur unnatural cynicism is more radical and obtrusive

If that's me...then fuck it, as the Big Lebowski would say.

@HuHyaaaaaaagh activist says something about the influential message he spread after leaving the Beatles. It seems to me like he has the foresight in that interview to recognise the power his own image had and so i don't think he was conning himself or any of his fans, whereas I imagine Emerson didn't anticipate Lennon's enduring image as a staple for peace. Youtube comments don't give enough bloody space..
