The Third Night [Lennon's Legacy] - Matthew Chenoweth Wright

[enuminous]

I actually, in retrospect, find it interesting that there was such a wide range of reaction to this video. Thank you to my supporters, and also thank you to those who would attempt to be critical of my expression through art. It shows that there is a healthy discourse in America about the meaning of war and how it affects people in differing ways. From the hippie-bashing to the supportive, I have always relished the opportunities this dichotomy has given for critical analyses of human beings.

The "thirst" for power manifests in many different ways. Your deprecation of people who pursue power through direct ways, is just another more subtle way power is sought. Wish people would stop thinking so one-dimensionally and stop being fucking hypocrits.

Oh yeah, people willingly sign up for the military knowing that they could be sent to war. They made the choice so let them deal with the consequences.

They die for peace? how do you die for peace you dont know what your talking about i think your the one who should get a real job

[enuminous]

Thanks for the hate. I really appreciate it, I do. This is a work of art, not to be taken literally, doofus. Read The Gulag Archipilego. Poetry is for the symbolism. Remember: War kills people. Both in body and in mind. As long as we think that war is ok, we are victims of it.

oh...yes, hippies know the true meaning of terror...are those the smiling clown clothed hippies holding up peace signs like its a fun Saturday Afternoon get-together?...if you need something to do, get a real job...its sad that the "rich kids" sit and march with signs while the real Americans die for peace...as opposed to the "poor fighting for the war"...what a spin...go smoke a bowl, hippies...

[enuminous]

Wow, what an interesting response. As a matter of fact, I left my cheap job in a Lyon's Restauraunt to go march, and wasn't rich at the time, either. I went to support the troops, to decry the need for death and destruction. It's interesting that war-protesters tend to get characterized and marginalized by comments such as this.

we want more poetry from you

Coming... Just had to move my studio. Back in business, with new videos coming out for 2 new singles within the next week, hopefully. Stay tuned.

Mark David Chapman was a symptom of a disease in our society that cuts down creativity at it's peak, a sickness of accepting that murder is just status quo.

The "crazy mixed up adult world" didn't kill Lennon. Mark David Chapman did.
