Yeah, not really anywhere else to put this sentiment so I figured the company of strangers would be nice.

He's pretty well known as having been an abusive prick anyways.

Can't argue with that statement, but you can't deny the music being amazing.

I can.  Never was a fan of his music.  Any of it.  While some of it I can tolerate listening to, I would never intentionally listen to anything of his.  With the Beatles, solo, or other.  Pre-Sabbath/AC-DC/Sex Pistols/Ram Jam/etc. I hate "rock" music (blues & jazz on the other hand...).


Atlhough obviously he will go down in history as one of the greatest...my personal feeling is his music was crap.  Can't say I ever knew anything about the man beyond "he founded the Beatles".

Corey just because someone is abusive prick doesn't mean they deserve to be murdered.
Abuse can often be triggered by many things.
1. Abused themselves
2. Alcohol
3. Depression
4. Orphan
5. Being Famous(this one is complicated)
6. mental illness.

honestly I wish John Lennon had help to overcome him abusing others.

That's not in any way what I said or was implying.

Never liked John Lennon nor will I ever, in my opinion he broke up the Beatles in the first place, and he hopped onto whatever trend he could find so he could stay popular. I do like some of the Beatles and Paul Mccartney's work however

Eh it was a combined effort betwixt John and Paul. They both the primary blame candidates.
