He was a known wife beater who often flew into uncontrollable fits of rage that he directed to the various women in his life. Lennon resented his son Julian, and narcissisticly blamed the boy for a marriage he did not want to be in. After Lennon divorced his wife, he took off with Yoko Ono and dropped out of his son’s life for years. Julian has stated that Paul McCartney was far more of a father to him than John ever was.


John was a pathological liar who claimed he had been raised in a working class family in Liverpool when he was actually raised in a comfortable upper middle class home. He often claimed to be single during his early years of stardom, despite being married. He claimed to have met Yoko Ono at an art show; falling in love at first sight, when in fact, Ono had stalked him for months before he gave in to her.


John claimed to have lost interest in the Beatles due to Paul McCartney’s tendencies toward pop music when in fact, he had spent two years in a daze as a result of a serious addiction to heroin. Together, he and Yoko destroyed the Beatles, then he blamed the breakup on Paul McCartney.
He was politically clueless and gave money to publicity violent and radical groups such as the Black Panthers.


He was no better than an average guitar player who mostly confined his playing to the basic rhythm parts and his piano playing was amateurish. His song writing was no better; The lyrics to Strawberry Fields Forever and Come Together are pure drug induced hippie psychedelic babble.


Lennon was a raging hypocrite who lived the do as I say, not as I do life perhaps more flamboyantly than anyone. All you have to do is look at his songs. Lennon, who sang Imagine no Possessions lived a millionaire’s life in a posh New York hotel. Lennon sang Imagine no Religion, while he was was obsessed with every spiritual and New Age fad that came along, including Hindu meditation, the I-Ching, and astrology of all kinds. And it was Lennon who sang All you need is Love, yet lived a violent, and angry life while abusing his family and friends. And it was Lennon who sang about having nothing to kill or die for helped finance radical and violent political groups.


Lennon was a piece of shit and the world should know this about him.
