John Lennon committed hippy suicide
John Lennon's hubris and utopian communism were what got him killed
The release of the last Beatles song and the latest Rolling Stones album, has had my mind remembering earlier days. The Beatles song, of course, is a poignant reminder of what might have been if John Lennon had not been shot by the psycho-retard whose name I am not going to include in this article.
I have never been a Beatles fan. My liking for Beatles music is casual at best. So I do not have much direct emotion wrapped in the Beatles or their music. I found the “Beatlemania” thing to be silly, eye-rolling, and something that only a teenage girl in the 1960s could take seriously.
However, I do enjoy their songs from time to time. But whenever one comes on, I always end up wondering what the Beatles might have done if Lennon had not been killed. Consider how long the Stones have been rolling, and then imagine what might have happened if the Beatles had gotten back together and resumed releasing new music.
Well, we’ll never know because a psycho-retard murdered Lennon in 1980.
