A lot of people don't like Lennon because he had a pretty bad attitude in early fame. But to me, he was a much calmer and pleasant person a couple of years before he was murdered. John should have rewritten his Will with Julian in mind. I'll never forgive Yoko for her treatment of Julian. So, so, wrong. I'm glad Sean reached out and he and Julian have hung out, and did a song? Sorry, i should have looked up first.

[@zyxwut321]

Of all the famous pop stars early deaths, John Lennon's is probably the most tragic. He was stalked, hunted and killed for his fame when he was still a relatively young man, was cleaning up many of the troubled aspects of his past and maturing as an individual, had a young son and a close relationship with his wife, loved his life and had so much more to give to the world. Had he been more wary and lived in an estate in the countryside with extensive security he would've lived but by living a relatively normal and open life in New York City he was an easy target. His accessibility to others cost him his life.

That damn clip showing Lennon supposedly showing John saying that the Beatles were bigger than Jesus is just a part of a longer interview. He was making a statement about how the press had treated the Beatles in a ridiculous way that made it seem that the Beatles were more important to teens than Jesus. John was saying it in a very disapproving way. People who know that and still say that John said that as a Beatle statement are devious liars, so ignore them.

Still so sad. He was a great man and a beautiful human being. He didn't deserve the end that he got. If John wasn't such an accessible person , always willing to stop and chat with fans , never hiding behind security, he would not have been shot in the back by a mad man.

These four men,all different in their own way,all talented men,just persecuted by haters. These guys revolutionised music to which the world have never seen in the short years that they were together as a group. I loved all the other bands and the time aswell and I hate to hear people hatred of these guys as individuals,as sometimes it takes different geniuses to gel throughout their own individual differences to make some thing ultimately unique. Richard,a beatles fan but also a fan of all music and a man of eclectic taste. Respect to them and the music they gave us. JPGR🙏 Peace and love ❤

If his last word was indeed “Yes,” at the art exhibit where he met Yoko Ono, he climbed a ladder for a work she had done and looked through a magnifying glass to see a very small word printed on the ceiling, and it said… “YES.”

[@Alekskauff]

Don't spread the assassins name, the reason why he shot John was to become known and famous. So you spreading his name is making him achieve that goal. You could've made the same video but just not mention his name and explain why.

[@johnnyrotten6753]

Amen

[@stuartmcquade3407]

It's kind of hard to get away from it How do you mention John Lennon's death without naming his killer ? I mean I won't here because I don't think he deserves even a thought but you know what I mean,it's the same as you can't mention Lincoln's assassination without mentioning John Wilkes Booth or JFKs death without mentioning Lee Harvey Oswald ( even though it's more than likely BS that he was guilty) or mention RFK without talking about Sirhan Sirhan or MLK and James Earl Ray..these are shocking moments in History and unfortunately emblazoned on our conscious ...so Yes the less his name is mentioned the better but for me as a big John Lennon fan I'll never forget either his name or his face !!

[@Alekskauff]

@@stuartmcquade3407 can just say "john was assassinated by a man who did it purely for fame but used the reason of john mentioning how "he was bigger than jesus" in the mid 60s to justify his motives. Due to the reasoning of the assassination I will not disclose the assassins name." There's a good way to get across the name while still giving good info on the assassination and motives of the assassin without using their name.

[@stuartmcquade3407]

@@Alekskauff I agree I would rather not utter his name but it's kind of hard for me at least to not picture him in my mind or think his name considering how much John Lennon meant to me at the time..I was 17 at the time and going through a lot of personal crap and Lennon's music meant the World to me so I was devastated when that lowlife did the unthinkable and although I try never to say or think his name it's not ever easy..

[@robdangerfield7129]

If he shot John for his Jesus comment, then he waited a very long time to do it. The Beatles did mean more to kids at the time than Jesus. However, his comment was just a popular saying in Britain at the time, like, richer than god, for example. It doesn't mean that you are greater than god, or even being disrespectful. It is just a saying, nothing more.

I was 4 years old when he died. I had no idea who he nor the Beatles were. But when I saw the TV coverage of the sea of people mourning in Central Park, I felt profoundly sad.
