He wasn't the nicest man. He could be cruel and hard hearted. But he was a complicated soul with a talent that was large as it comes. This is so classic Lennon.
Laura, he was intense. But i've read a bunch of biographies of the beatles and he really wasnt a nice man. His ex-wife, Cynthia Lennon, came out with her own autobiography a couple of years ago and his treatment of her during his affair with Yoko was deplorable. Also, Eric Clapton told a few stories about Lennon too, (in his rather new autobiography) and he was just mean to folks. Nevertheless, he was one hell of a songwriter and an extremely charismatic character. I like to think that had he lived longer and watched his son with Yoko grow, his heart would have softened. who knows?
I loved him and this song is amazing. :)

I don't know much about the man, I don't follow music all that much, but we can all be be cruel and hardhearted. Or seem to be to others.
ReplyDeleteYeah, well, some folks think I'm an ass, but it's like Helen says, you just need to get to know me.
