What the FUCK did he mean by this?
Did he beat Yoko?
>imagine if people with different opinions didnt exist
SO DEEP
>beats his wife
>regrets it and tries to change his ways later in life
>Yea Forums: John Lennon beat his le wife
He wrote imagine long after beating his wife and coming to realize he was living the wrong life and making himself into a better person.
As far as I remember, there's no "Imagine there's no wifebeating" in the song, so he's good
He never sang 'imagine there's no domestic violence' did he?
>writes woman is the nigger of the world
>beats his wife
checks out
do people really not get the point of "Woman Is the Nigger of the World" or is it just a meme to pretend that it's a racist/sexist song?
t. autist
Imagine is the most disingenuous piece of shit song in the history of songs, maybe ever.
It's still insensitive.
Still problematic though. Imagine if Mac DeMarco try saying nigger in any context imaginable. His career would be destroyed.
how?
He's British so he doesn't truly understand what the word implies.
It's a pretty good song
but he had lived in America for years when the song was written. he even consulted with black people and they approved of the use of the word
>>writes Imagine
>>goes home and beats his wife
[citation needed]
Dylan got away with it. If you’re sucking off black guys you have the pass
>beats his sweet white wife
>doesnt beat 2/10 gook banshee
?
>beat his wife and abuse her and his child
>but then he dated a chink and felt bad about beating his first wife, so it's wrong to criticize him
If people didn't want Lennon to be shit on for beating his wife, they shouldn't have pretended he was a great man for selling music about "peace and love"
the older I get more I realise lennon is total shit. closeted, racist, sexist wife beater who only talked about peace and love because George was on that kick and he wanted to distance himself from mccartneys vapid bs.
When Dylan did it?
She had it coming. Fuck women.
Hurricane, very popular song
>Dylan got away with it.
He also got away with beating his wife
Hurricane
>but then he dated a chink and felt bad about beating his first wife, so it's wrong to criticize him
It's wrong to ignore the fact that he felt extremely bad.
And he first told about the wifebeating when they were still together, on Getting Better.
This.
I hate the fact that this racist mysoginist wifebeater is the greatest songwriter of all time. He didn't deserve his talent.
>he felt real bad tho!
Oh I guess he's a hero then!
Listen to more music. Bob Dylan is better than him.
He's not even the best songwriter in the Beatles (appropriate name for his band, all things considered)
>released in 1976
I'm talking about the 2010s pal. The progressive times.
not everything is black and white
he's not simply an evil wifebeater and he's not simply a hero of peace, he's a troubled man who had good and bad qualities
He was totally a better songwriter than Paul.
Paul was a better musician though.
>people aren't allowed to change
kys
When did you mention that?
The song is literally about changing your opinion so you believe in something instead of nothing. Honestly you Yea Forums nihilists just sit here day in day out sucking your own dicks on how authentic you are, and John is right about all of you. You're still fucking peasants as far as I see.
He's not the GOAT, but he's certainly is the best songwriter in the Beatles.
Like the song "Wiggle Wiggle"?
Lennon was the cutest Beatle right?
he beat yoko and fucked trannies
He beat his wife, he's a bad guy that became an annoying prick out of his own guilt
Yup
>imagine there's no heaven
have fun in hell, sodomite faggot
>hell
Based spooky fairy tale
This song is about John Lennon's ego taking over his brain
>When did you mention that?
When I mentioned a 2010s artist here:
No he didnt
Tell yourself whatever you need to make you feel better, peasant.
You mentioned the Lennon song as being problematic in that post, and it was also from the 70s. Why are you giving Dylan a free pass?
He just pushed Cynthia once.
>based John triggering redditors in 2019
He's the most based artist of all time.
>Why are you giving Dylan a free pass?
I'm not, I mean I think people should say whatever they please. Banning words is just stupidity.
I will. Keep listening to a wife beater sing about "peace and love"
>b-but he felt bad and changed
He's a piece of shit. Good people don't beat their wives in the first place, his rebranding as the epic Peace man was only to sell albums to dopes like you.
lol but he actually did tho
He choked her out.
>shit on women
>supported Reagan
>annoying
>almost killed a man for calling him a faggot
He's literally Yea Forums, The Artist.
Everyone pissed with Lennon is R*ddit.
>once
Kek, sure thing
r/JohnLennon
Cynthia herself said it was once in her own biography
>r/music
>supported Reagan
But he hated Nixon.
I'm not a mutt but how bad was Nixon?
Yes. Reagan came after. By the end of his life, he was right-wing.
Based Satan
his wife isn't "all people" so it's fine
seems pretty much everybody loved Reagan for some reason
only one of those blue states (and DC) would remain blue in '84
>I have been a Beefheart fan for about 30 years now and have many stories I could tell about how I feel and about collecting his music etc., but will save all that for another time. One story I would like to tell, though: I saw The Captain at Irving Plaza in NYC the day after John Lennon was killed (12/9/80.)
>The crowd was in a melancholy mood, waiting for the show to start. When the Captain finally hit the stage, he began the show with an improvised soprano sax solo, which lasted for a few minutes. When it was over, he bent over the mike and said: ‘That was from John, through Don, for Sean.’ It was a profound statement that was breathtaking. I’ll never forget it. Pure genius.
Based patrician Beefheart knows who's the greatest
Nips aren't people
>I mean I think people should say whatever they please
Wow, bad opinion
Nah
No.
Just once.
You haven't hear "I Smoke Nigger Newports" by Mac?
lmao you sound like some basedboy who got molested or something
