Who here actually takes him seriously? Don't get me wrong, I love his music. But the man had not the first fucking clue what was really going on.
uhhh yeah, he totally had a major impact on society in his time and is still an icon today. Explain yourself
he was fucked up 99% of the time, so yeah of course he didnt. but i love john lennon, the beatles, and that whole deal so
Look, the man made great music. This is just kind of an overflow from an argument I had with a friend the other day so it's not all in context. It was a long ass discussion, but the short and tall of it was he said something like 'john lennon was a prophet man, if he wasn't killed the world would be a different place today' To which I replied "No man, he was just a stoned hippie that took these acid guru Tim Leary types way too seriously." Don't get me wrong think that whole hippie movement was perhaps the most beautiful failure a society has ever produced, but.. I don't know. Maybe I'm just jaded... Svitlo- using his opinions to ostracize himself since 1994 -_-
the man was an activist before it was cool to try to save the planet.... he was years ahead in both music and world view.... I think you have been buying into the media image too much instead of studying the actual guy. Now, if you had said, that john lennon was a heavy drinker, I think there could be no argument lol
This is pretty much what I was going to say, so I'll just quote it. I mean, I wouldn't go so far as to say he was a "prophet," like your friend. I think even John himself would disagree with that.
Damn now i feel like ive been stoned or something because i just posted a post in support of his music Lol...I love his music lol
