Accepting that John Lennon was a douchebag is much like accepting death (fan, quote)

It's a pretty funny article but I've never met a Lennon fan (an actual Lennon fan, not someone who just runs around going GIVE PEACE A CHANCE) who isn't aware he was a douchebag.

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.

Ive always found it rather easy to accept both.

Yeah, both John and Paul were douchebags, but John was by far the biggest. At least Paul didn't abandon his son at the age of five and ignored him for the next 12 years. The only reason Paul gets so much more crap is because everyone starts to admire a person as soon as they're murdered. Just look at JFK.

lol. The reason John gets more admired than Paul is because John had a solid solo career and Paul McCartney is doing this: YouTube - Official Ever Present Past Video

JFK was a terrible musician.

John Lennon was a misogynistic, grumpy bastard who told people what they didn't want to hear and that's why I love him

I'm still in the denial stage.
