If it wasn’t for the radio I probably wouldn’t listen to John Lennon at all. And the little bit I heard today…didn’t do much for me.

Don’t get me wrong, “Imagine” is amazing.

“Happy Xmas” is a nice tune, right up to the point where Yoko starts to, ahem, sing.

The Beatles? Please, his guitar drove that sound.

I’m sad that Lennon was shot. I don’t think anyone should have to go that way. Famous people shouldn’t be targets for psychos.

But why the reverence? What’s the deal? He was a pop singer. He wrote pop tunes. Help me out. Explain it to me.
