Imagine all those great Beatles songs pre-1967 being tainted with
Vietnam references. They'd suck now. And all those pro-war people who
bought those records and made him famous had to endure his anti-war
crap being preached to them. Sorry, I don't need any rock star doped
out of his mind telling me how to think.
Yoko Ono is all the proof anyone needs to know Lennon was whacked out
of his mind after '66. Like Ringo said, he had his dick out flopping
in the air on an album cover. Yep, there's your leader.

Yeah, right. That's why Bruce Springsteen got Kerry elected and the
Iraq war is over, right?
Lennon had ZILCH to do with ending the war. The war ended because
things were not going well. Protests of any war never acheive anything
except demoralize our troops and aid the enemy, period.
