Was John Lennon a closet Conservative?

Apparently even he didn't like Jimmy Carter.

I didn't like Carter either. But John did write some really good music.

But by the time he died, John Lennon was a closet conservative embarrassed by his radical past, according to his former personal assistant.

Blasphemy! LOL!
That sentence right there will piss off a lot of people around the world.

Yeah, but aren't they smoking a leaf, the mention of genus is forbidden on this board? Or perhaps a little Timothy O'Leary "sugar cube" imbiber.

I have always consoled myself with John Lennon's death by saying that the assassin was really aiming at YOKO but was just a bad shot.

John Lennon was a brilliant songwriter, and a great showman who had the perfect voice for many of the Beatles Songs, definatly a better vocalist than Paul. I am sure like many people who worked their way out of the getto, he simply wanted to keep more of what he earned.

Most people do stupid shit when they are young. I suppose the old saying that goes, "the older I get, the smarter my parents become", holds true.

John Lennon wasn't a Conservative:

"In England, there are only two things to be, basically: You are either for the labor movement or for the capitalist movement. Either you become a right-wing Archie Bunker if you are in the class I am in, or you become an instinctive socialist, which I was. That meant I think people should get their false teeth and their health looked after, all the rest of it. But apart from that, I worked for money and I wanted to be rich. So what the hell -- if that's a paradox, then I'm a socialist." (John Lennon - 1980 Interview)

But I am willing to bet he would have evolved into a Libertarian; and would think Obama's socialist's agenda is bollocks !!!!

Lennon wasn't a Conservative , just like Whirly isn't!

WTF, you are missing the key ingredient of a conservative - intelligence !

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Sounds just like Romney's stump speech to me!

Romney wasn't a conservative, either.

I think the idea that John was ghetto or working class was a complete myth, no doubt promoted by himself.

Let me look it up....

Yes, he was a chameleon. Very middle class.
