    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.

    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.
