For a guy who preferred Lennon least, he sure goes into great depth to explain why. Wouldn't surprise me one bit, if he turns out to be a closet Lennon worshipper.

Btw, Lennon to me is overrated. That's all I needed, one sentence. Big Grin

Damn. Tough crowd.

Like Elvis, The Beatles changed the music forever. John Lennon was, in my opinion, the leader of it all. Hell, everyone had their favorite Beatle, but Lennon was the man.

I miss his music, probably always will.

Agreed, with caveat. With no slight to George or John, Paul was (is) unquestionably(IMO)the most naturally gifted, talented, and versatile, but John was the leader.

John and Paul wrote some incredible music. The certainly rank in the top 10 of song writing duos.
I wasn't a fan of his ego. When you say you are bigger than Jesus, you may get an early trip to visit that subject with Him.

I was out at sea when he was killed. I had his album that was just released. I listened to it a couple of times. The biggest though in my head was, "so much for a Beatles reunion."



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.
