>Lennon delighted in mocking Epstein for his homosexuality and for the fact that he was Jewish. When Epstein invited suggestions for the title of his autobiography, Lennon offered 'Queer Jew'; on learning of the eventual title, 'A Cellarful of Noise', he parodied, "more like A Cellarful of Boys". He demanded of a visitor to Epstein's flat, "have you come to blackmail him? If not, you're the only bugger in London who hasn't." During the recording of 'Baby, You're a Rich Man', he sang altered choruses of "Baby, you're a rich fag Jew".
>It was my first experience with a homosexual that I was conscious was homosexual. We used to sit in a café in Torremolinos looking at all the boys and I'd say, "Do you like that one? Do you like this one?"
He had the right idea when promoting peace, he knew that europeans and back then white americans shouldn't die just because of a stupid war in a land that's not theirs. Give Peace A Chance has a pretty good message about ending war, then again he would have been pretty much a European role model for Jow Forums if he hadn't fucked Yoko.

KILL EPSTEIN. KILL THE PEDO, SHOOT THE PEDO
Connor James
He was half jewish his dad was half Jew half Irish.
Lennon was not a communist you fucking fool. It's called imagine for a reason
Jeremiah Thompson
Not really since he mentions no countries and peace as well so not really a commie. Russian Commies took pride in their land back then and were willing to die for it and for the state, so pretty much the opposite of what Lennon was describing
Revolution by the Beatles is totally anti-communist. trust me, they hated them.
Kevin Gonzalez
I love that one, the guitar in it works pretty well
Kayden Anderson
Back in the U.S.S.R is meant to mock the commies too
Grayson Williams
I think Ono actually wrote it
Luis Sanders
"Oh, show me around your snow-peaked mountains way down south Take me to your daddy's farm Let me hear your balalaika's ringing out Come and keep your comrade warm I'm back in the U.S.S.R."
commies are all faggots, for real.
Alexander Roberts
Yes he was.
A hypocritical one at that.
William Gonzalez
Ono gave the inspiration with a quote that said "imagine..." then John made the song
Thomas Reyes
yes dude. didn't you see that Murdoch episode? the Beatles were awesome, but misdirected. responsible for generations of drug abuse and degeneracy. so they go back in time and red pill the Beatles to save the race. awesome episode
Nathan Foster
John lenon gave money to a black power activist named Michael Abdul Malik, he was not our guy
Jeremiah Reed
The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved. In a sense, the Beatles are emblematic of the status of rock criticism as a whole: too much attention paid to commercial phenomena (be it grunge or U2) and too little to the merits of real musicians. If somebody composes the most divine music but no major label picks him up and sells him around the world, a lot of rock critics will ignore him. If a major label picks up a musician who is as stereotyped as can be but launches her or him worldwide, your average critic will waste rivers of ink on her or him. This is the sad status of rock criticism: rock critics are basically publicists working for major labels, distributors and record stores. They simply highlight what product the music business wants to make money from.

Good choice desu

Anyone with a serious (or casual) interest in music should spend some time listening to and analyzing the Beatles, especially the psychedelic years, even if their peak was some 50 years ago now.
Xavier Bailey
check out Miles Mathis, there's good evidence to suggest his death was faked and believe it or not Lennon made a movie with himself playing Lennon who wasn't really dead Let him be I shit you not Check it out mileswmathis.com/lennon.pdf
Not every right winger is a free speech advocate. There are memes that need to be removed from history, which includes the enlightenment and the hippy culture
Carson Baker
There is some racism in this song. After hearing it I wondered if "get back, get back to where you once belong" was like "you have to go back" but the 60's version
>was a degenerate >helped found the hippy movement >sent money to the IRA (literal marxists) >ditched his white wife for a chink ""artist" >has a statue in his honour in Havana, Cuba >was a fucking marxist >was a Tavistock shill cunt Yeah. Definitely ourguy
