Good point. I am a Lennon fan... I wouldn't use "douchebag", but I'd definitely agree to the fact that he was naive & almost annoyingly indignant. Or thought he was. I love his "solo" (I put it in quotes because right now I'm listening to Well Well Well from the Plastic Ono Band and I dig it) stuff much more than his Beatles stuff (though I'm also a Beatles fan). Some beautiful songs came from naivety (sp?) and dreams, though. I'll be cliche and say Imagine. And War is Over If You Want It is my favorite Christmas song.
