He beat wome...Lennon was really a loathsome person. He beat women and acted like a prick. His son Julian hated him. From Wiki -<br /><br />"Following his father's murder, Lennon voiced anger and resentment toward him, saying<br /><br />I've never really wanted to know the truth about how dad was with me. There was some very negative stuff talked about me ... like when he said I'd come out of a whiskey bottle on a Saturday night. Stuff like that. You think, where's the love in that? Paul and I used to hang about quite a bit ... more than Dad and I did. We had a great friendship going and there seems to be far more pictures of me and Paul playing together at that age than there are pictures of me and my dad.<br /><br />Lennon was also irked by hearing his father's peace-loving stance perpetually celebrated. He told the London Telegraph, "I have to say that, from my point of view, I felt he was a hypocrite", he said, "Dad could talk about peace and love out loud to the world but he could never show it to the people who supposedly meant the most to him: his wife and son. How can you talk about peace and love and have a family in bits and pieces—no communication, adultery, divorce? You can't do it, not if you're being true and honest with yourself."""<br /><br />That song from Elton is a classic. <br /><br />Celebrities are almost all bad, they are truly the epitome of our age. The question isn't whether one is bad, but whether you wish to trawl through the internet to find evidence of it.<br /><br />I prefer to just go with the assumption.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-42833561587286868342015-10-03T21:18:50.399+10:002015-10-03T21:18:50.399+10:00When Bob Dylan converted to Christianity in 1979, ...When Bob Dylan converted to Christianity in 1979, he wrote an excellent song called "Serve Somebody"(the theme of which was that one had the choice of either serving God or Satan and that there was no neutral ground). In response, Lennon wrote "Serve Yourself", the theme of which ought to be quite obvious. Not very long after, one Mark David Chapman served himself.
