Safe! Let's go round and egg his house while he's busy proclaiming himself "the ambassador of rock & roll to the people". (Twat)

Lennon's murder—considered by some to be an assassination due to his high profile—triggered an outpouring of grief around the world on an unprecedented scale. Sales of his music—both with the Beatles and as a solo artist—soared in the months following the murder. Lennon's remains were cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Westchester; no funeral was held. Ono sent word to the chanting crowd outside the Dakota that their singing had kept her awake; she asked that they re-convene in Central Park the following Sunday for ten minutes of silent prayer. On 14 December 1980, millions of people around the world responded to Ono's request to pause for ten minutes of silence to remember Lennon. Thirty thousand gathered in Liverpool, and the largest group—over 225,000—converged on New York's Central Park, close to the scene of the shooting. At least two Beatle fans committed suicide after the murder, leading Ono to make a public appeal asking mourners not to give in to despair. Ono released a solo album, Season of Glass, in 1981. The cover of the album is a photograph of Lennon's blood-spattered glasses. A 1997 re-release of the album included "Walking on Thin Ice", the song the Lennons had mixed at the Record Plant less than an hour before he was murdered. Chapman pleaded guilty to Lennon's murder in June 1981, against the advice of his lawyers, who wanted to file an insanity plea. He received a life sentence, but under the terms of his guilty plea became eligible for parole after serving 20 years. Chapman has been denied parole at hearings every two years since 2000 and remains an inmate at Attica State Prison. Because of the Nixon administration's FBI/CIA surveillance to spy and efforts to deport Lennon in the 1970s, there are those who believe the murder might have had political motivation.

This is true. I believe it might have been politically motivated. But why are you posting this?

Just let it go.

In all fairness, he's being a condescending douchebag. Nobody is bullying him, and rather than arguing with people's points he's responding with "I'm sorry if you're too ****ing stupid to understand my point." Even at points literally calling his points detractors 'dense'.

He's just reiterating the point I was trying to make in my first reply. Expanding it to the 10th level of cartoonish exaggeration, and bring in examples that make no sense. If you can't see the fact that he's not only praising the Beatles which he listens to "5 hours a day", while calling them the overrated fall of all society as a sign of pure trolling.

^^and this is coupled with the fact that he's ignoring valid points here and instead play the "victim" to what he perceives is "bullying"

I think that's a bit off topic too. Not that it isn't interesting...

And you found the on topic stuff interesting? About how the Beatles seduced the USA and how Zappa could have been their saviour......if he`d been marketed properly.
