he was a piece of shit but he wasn't any worse than hundreds of millions of liberal pieces of shit of the first world
I will be more precise, I call him a piece of shit because he praised Mao and communist China while living a super wealthy celebrity and sailing in his yacht.
The typical first world leftist that loves first world life praises and defends communist dictatorship where he would never live.
But if we are going to kill people for that, we would have to kill millions of millions of people form Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, from Ireland to Vladivostok. So I don't think his murder could be justified.
>But if you go carrying pictures of chairman Mao
You ain't gonna make it with anyone anyhow > You say you'll change the constitution
Well, you know
We'd all love to change your head
You tell me it's the institution
Well, you know
You better free your mind instead
There were no rock/pop albums or singles as good as what they were making from 1963-1964. By 1965, even when other bands started catching up, they still would continue to make some of, if not the greatest, most influential singles and albums every year until they broke up.
>I don't know how the frick boomers went apeshit over the beatles. Plenty of old music back then is great but the beatles aren't anything special.
Absolutely disgusting opinion.
Anyway though, here's a video if you need someone to spell out for you why the Beatles were the Beatles:
Or you could just listen to their music and not have trash taste.

Beach Boys slaughtered The Beatles. It was only because they made a pact with a israelite they got so big. It was the first israeli run and led band after WWII. Nepotism got them everywhere.
lol >It was early 1967 and Beach Boys frontman Brian Wilson was driving his car under the influence of barbiturates while listening to the radio. The Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever,” recently released, came on, and he pulled over to listen. The song was good. Wilson was devastated. Then-assistant Michael Vosse, who was sitting in the passenger seat, recalls Wilson saying: “They did it already—what I wanted to do with Smile."

They did it better and when they started pushing the envelope they did it first and had the sensibilities to make sure that the quality of the song wasn't sacrificed just because the guitar solo was backwards. Lennon once remarked that the Stones were always a few months behind the Beatles. The Stones recorded You Can't Always Get What You Want 3 months after Hey Jude released.
I wouldn't say it was justified. I will say, though, that it wasn't very surprising, if somewhat extreme. Someone as absurdly arrogant as John Lennon was always going to get a reality check eventually.
>The killer simply felt that his latest albums were commercial fluff and that he had sold out
Neither Lennon nor the Beatles never "sold out" because they were never anything more than entertainers. Everything they ever did was commercial fluff. The modern man's tendency to idolize entertainers as role models is a disease.
Didn't Mark Chapman kill Lennon because he though he himself was Lennon and there couldn't be two Johns so he killed the other?
I remember that being the story a few years after his death.
Yes, I am an old GenX gay.
His main stated reasons were: >Anger over the 'more popular than Jesus' thing >Anger over Imagine lyrics talking about doing away with possessions when John Lennon was a multimillionaire with yachts and luxury real estate >Schizo babble related to Catcher in the Rye
I like them because they're good. My parents tried to get me to like them as a child and I refused. I only started to like them when I listened of my own volition.

Rock n roll is already dead, and Christianity is full steam ahead. Dump hippy druggy.
>Christianity is full steam ahead
Lol no
Yes. Non denominational is exploding. People leaving the false catholic and lutheran/calvinist churches for Christ's actual church.
israelite John the Baptist and his little cousin israelite Jesus Christ are clowns when compared to John Lennon et al.
He got too wienery.

Rutles did it better.
Michael Jackson had better music
That Black was more popular than Jesus too and they both were Black folks.
Not better, but he was clearly exceptional too. Scream was peak 90s futurism.
Beach Boys slaughtered The Beatles. It was only because they made a pact with a israelite they got so big. It was the first israeli run and led band after WWII. Nepotism got them everywhere.
The only Beach Boys album equal to the best of The Beatles is Pet Sounds. The only other one that approaches is Sunflower.
lol

I don't really care for the Beatles but their catalog is very impressive.
They did it better and when they started pushing the envelope they did it first and had the sensibilities to make sure that the quality of the song wasn't sacrificed just because the guitar solo was backwards. Lennon once remarked that the Stones were always a few months behind the Beatles. The Stones recorded You Can't Always Get What You Want 3 months after Hey Jude released.
>move to foreign country
>go on TV every day criticising that country
>get killed by a native of that country
shock horror
no, they were, and still are, more popular.
>imagine

Lennon dabbing on christians almost excuses all of the other cringe parts of his personality
frick atheists
>christians still mad about a bong singing music all these years later
Why did he have such a big butt crack?
Wholly shit!
That crack is growing!
>John's arse goes up to his stomach
>Yoko's arse ends before it begins
Do you think that the length of their respective ass cracks is symbolic of their musical talent?
Yes. Good riddance.
Yes but for entirely different reasons
I wouldn't say it was justified. I will say, though, that it wasn't very surprising, if somewhat extreme. Someone as absurdly arrogant as John Lennon was always going to get a reality check eventually.
That wasn't the reason he was killed. The killer simply felt that his latest albums were commercial fluff and that he had sold out

fricking hippies I swear
homosexualy contrived boy band
You've obviously never listened to them.
You like them bc you think you're supposed to like them and should kys
I like them because they're good. My parents tried to get me to like them as a child and I refused. I only started to like them when I listened of my own volition.
You don't like them because you think it's clever to have contrarian opinions.
