Lennon 25 years after his assasination

you're all so glad that he's 5 foot under :mad:

it's ahrd to be glad someone is dead, when all they did was make rubbish music and be responsible for three generations of rubbish music.

no, actually, it's not.
 
He seems to be a hero to many, and in that he isn't a particularly bad one. It's not like praising Oliver Cromwell or Napoleon, or even Cliff Richard.

So he had feet of clay - big suprise.

Christ, are you posting from the playground?

Oh, you don't like what I like, you must be a sheep :rolleyes:

Oh but it's not childish to say

"Oh yeah The Beatles were rubbish..I'm glad he's dead!"

Yeah because



was a cracking argument.


that'll be because a limp attempt to invalidate somebody's considered opinion on the basis that it's FASHIONABLE is so risible it doesn't deserve a fuller response, really.
 
He died on December 8th, a successful musician shot down in his prime by a lone nutter. It seems like only yesterday. :(

Yes folks, I'm talking about Dimebag Darrell.

R.I.P.

:p :o

What more then Martin Luther King? More then Ghandi? more then Mandela? or Rosa parks?....the list continues.
 
I like The Beatles but I honestly believe that he would not be as popular as he is now if he hadn't been killed.

Paul McCartney wrote the best songs anyway :p
 
I like loads of music by The Beatles. However, as others have already pointed out, Lennon was a hypocrite, he had a violent temper, and was prone to jealousy and bitterness.

-Imagine all that... :rolleyes:

In his defence though, at least he wasn't responsible for the horror of The Frog Chorus... :eek: :D
 
Why was he a working class hero?

What did he do for the peace movement that wasn't to further his career?

He lived in a penthouse and treated people like shit.

Anyway he still means a lot to a lot of people so I'll shut up.
 
Maybe he was a bad one, and Yes Gandhi was much more of an inspiration, but "I am the Walrus" sounds great on a good stereo, well engineered.

I suppose John Lennon & Gandhi do have something in common -- public professions of peace, and violence behind closed doors. :)

Fuck the pair of them, I say.

engineering? great. maybe you should listen to a load of those 'Amazing Sounds In Stereo' compilations from Oxfam if that's your fucking criteria.

goo-goo-ga-good grief.
