    I would like to dedicate this thread to the 31st anniversary death of John Lennon. I think he spoke so many wise words above love and peace and against war and greed. I think we should strive for the type of world Lennon strove for, one in which material possessions an obsession with work and money fade, and love and harmony take their place. I think we need to stop thinking about our jobs and money and focus on the only thing which is truly important in this world, love. When one receives the gift of love, nothing else matters. Who cares how much money we have when we have an abundance of love, something which those rounded pieces of gold and silver we carry in our pockets can never measure, nor buy.

    Love is existence and love is reality, money is the curse of mankind, truly destroying the interdependencies and ability to work together which humanity and Gaia need to enter a better future, one in which we break away from the curse of monetary and corporate slavery.

    At least now i know the root cause of your first year Philosophy student rubbish.

    Nowhere Boy the biopic paints him to be a bit of a prick really but he did write some classics such as Cold Turkey and Working Class Hero. I remember when he got shot it was a big shock, but couldnt help thinking the direction he was going in the charts at the time was really boring, syrupy AOR rubbish like the Women single.

    I thought it was good, albeit, a little over the top on the love stuff.

    I like him - he's different.

    Speaking as a close personal friend no doubt.

    Anyway, I think the OP was trying to encourage discussion on his last paragraph, which, I for one, would agree with entirely.

    There is a philosophy, etc section around here for that stuff but the OP has been told this repeatedly by Mods, chooses to ignore them and still post this type of crap in here.

    If the OP wanted a decent discussion, he would be serious and post it elsewhere!
    He don't so I suspect he isn't!

    Just that things could be much better when even hearing the word *love* - people's stomachs wouldn't turn in revulsion.

    He did and that was even before his over indulgence in LSD, which made him spout even more bollix however I'll forgive him because he wrote and sang Nowhere Man as well as loads of others great songs .

    Crazy to think that his son Juilian had to go to auction and bid on his fathers clothes but I don't think he'll be hitting poverty street any time soon either .

    Curious One and Op are too closely aligned for them to be normal. I smell a rat. I believe there may be a breakout of assorted sign-ins syndrome.

    True enough. McCartney was more of a father to him even though he wasn't his kid. Even wrote Hey Jude for/about him. I remember seeing an interview with Julian Lennon and he mentioned that there were many more pictures of him and McCartney playing together than of him with his dad. Lennon was a bit of a typical post war kid who turned into a hippie. Too eager to remove the nastiness of his past when he found Peace maaan. I always found him dishonest in that way. Imagine sums it up.

    Musically he was very bloody gifted, as was McCartney, though IMHO they would have been much less of a success if they hadn't met each other. John would have been some low level folk singer and Paul would have ended up writing musicals. If they were lucky.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    I agree with someone who has an alternative view - I'm a sock-puppet.

    I present an alternative view - I'm a troll.

    Just ridiculous.

    John Lennon, when asked if Ringo Starr was the best drummer in the world, replied, "He's not even the best drummer in The Beatles!"

    :cool:

    I always thought John was a complete prick for making a remark like that. Seriously, FU for that nasty comment John.

    Another one of his "before Elvis, there was nothing"
    After that one, I couldnt take him seriously anymore. He wrote some good tunes, but what a tit.
