if only Yoko Ono would get lost in the woods for an extremely long period of time.


Musician -- John Lennon

A self-obssessed, calculating, anorexic family-abandoner who slagged his friends, chased whatever the current zeitgeist was, and reportedly made everyone around him miserable. But, like Lucifer, he managed to pull off one of the greatest tricks in the history of rock 'n' roll -- convincing everyone that Paul McCartney was the a**hole, and that he was just a humble, peace-loving, fame-and-money-shunning second-coming of Christ that the world just didn't understand. Keep in mind, his first recorded Beatles song was "Please Please Me", which was named for his habit of demanding that groupies fellate him before he went onstage.

I have to give the guy credit for making the masses, especially (again!) New York's clueless cultural elite, in the late 70's, swallow his ten-years-too-late hippie New Age bulls**t ("Imagine") as if it were this great new direction in rock. And how about when he sold himself as the GREATEST FATHER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD, when Julian, his first son, very much alive and aware, had to swallow decades of neglect and even scorn? Although he did write that heartfelt song "Hey Jude" for Julian when Julian was so sad about John's divorce from...oh, wait, Paul wrote that one. Sorry.

But wasn't it cool how John Lennon wrote that bad-ass, edgy "How Do You Sleep At Night?" song about Paul -- an unlistenable, plodding number that no one's ever played twice? And what did that a**hole Paul respond with? Oh yeah, "Silly Love Songs", a self-mocking, good-humored pop tune you can hum.

John Lennon -- woman hater, shi**y father, trend follower, bulimic, sour-natured heroin addict and millionaire. Imagine!

I always thought the best post-Beatles Lennon song was "Genius Is Pain", from National Lampoon's Radio Dinner album. Of course, it wasn't really Lennon, but it should have been.

why do morons always ask the same question ?



here's the point, genius :

I don't like John Lennon and the text i posted helps explain why.
 
Please please me...like I please you..
If it has anything to do with oral sex, it actually sounds more like a man who is begging his woman to reciprocate. From what I hear, this is not an uncommon situation.


The lyrics:

Last night I said these words to my girl,
I know you never even try, girl,
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.

You don't need me to show the way, love.
Why do I always have to say "love,"
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.

I don't wanna sound complainin',
But you know there's always rain in my heart (in my heart).
I do all the pleasin' with you, it's so hard to reason
With you, whoah yeah, why do you make me blue.

Last night I said these words to my girl,
I know you never even try, girl,
C'mon...
Please please me, whoa yeah, like I please you.
 
John Lennon was arguably one of the greatest rock-n-roll singers ever and created a legacy of wonderful music that generations have shared. Like many of us, he was flawed when it came to relationships. His efforts on behalf of humanity should not be degraded by the obvious imperfections of the human condition. Nobody's perfect.
 
They were both very talented, artistc egomaniacs. That was a part of the magic of the Beatles, Paul and John trying to outdo each other all the time. I like the work both of them produced, while being aware of their personal flaws.

And Paul put out just as much rubbish as John did. I have just been listening to "Plastic Ono Band" again, and it is brilliant. (Fortunately, even though Yoko has her name on the cover, she isn't hear at all.)

I like John Lennons Music. I like Paul McCartneys music
I don't believe that you have to choose between the two.
And I don't see how JL's reputation as a father, or how many drugs he took, changes his music.

You remind me of someone I once knew, who made the comment " Candle In the Wind. Yeah I used to like that song 'til I found out Elton was a poof". I thought that comment was the product of a total pr4tt. Guess what I think of your comments

Rebecca Walch's guide to categorizing Beatle's songs:

If it sounds like, "oh, oh, oy vey, I'm so depressed," it's a John Lennon song.

If it sounds like, "Do dee doo! Doo de DEE dee do!" it's a Paul McCartney song.

If it sounds like, "Neer neer neer neer boing boing," it's a George Harrison song.

And if you can't sing it, it's a Ringo Starr song.
 
The Stones were better.

1 - They played songs you could dance to.
2 - Their drug and alcohol use was wild party related and not mixed with mystical, spiritual mumbo-jumbo.
3 - They stayed together.

(Note for 2 above - except for Ringo).
 
Oh, admit it NTW, your real goal with this post is the same as ALL your other posts: to convince people the Marilyn Manson is the only true artist who ever lived.

That said, I like some of Lennon's songs, I hate some others, and some are just OK.

Manson, however, is to my ears, excrutiatingly boring at all times.

The Kinks were even better. Most of the things the Beatles and Stones were arguing over who-did-what-first, were done by the Kinks even earlier.

Edited to add:

I am curious, though. Why is drug use in the name of partying, preferable to drug use in the name of spritual exploration?
 
NTW doesn't even have enough brains to post attribution for his quote. Who wrote those words, that auto-fellating wife-beater you worship, Jim Goad? Yeah, he's a big f*cking talent! He makes his name by ripping everyone else and contributing nothing, just like you. Why don't you go please him, jackass?

To Nie Trink,

I'm sick and tired of reading things from neurotic,
psychotic narrow minded hypocritics,
I’m sick to death of seeing things from paranoid,
condescending, mama’s little prima-donnas

John Lennon

:clap:

the Kinks were a much better band for me too.

Shimp, wipe off your mouth and get back to growing bigger love handles.

John Lennon is the archetype of the boring rock star and the quote is from patton oswalt

Oh, you have an interest in OTHER complete losers besides Jim Goad? When professional jerkoff blowhard Patton Oswalt does something that qualifies him to comment on John Lennon, somebody let me know please.

john lennon is far from sacred.

you're just another bad act around here shimp. You talk as if anything that comes off of you lil fingertips in here is worth noting, but I'm afraid your personality is just another mixture of ◊◊◊◊ and a stupid chimp.

thus, shimp.

woop woop.
 
What I never got...

What I never understood is why a guy who could have had any of an assortment of zillions of gorgeous women would choose to marry a hideous skank like Yoko.

And yeah, you, me and Mark David Chapman all agree in our assessment of Johnny's character. I also thought many of his songs sucked, although I did own a number of his post Beatles albums. What happened Jullian's career anyway? Yoko has a big spread up here by me in Cooperstown. A friend of mine has done carpentry work for her once in a while. Turns out she is exactly the jackass she appears to be.
