Dumb people interpret stuff like this to mean they can be an asshole and its everyone else's problem.

I prefer "It's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth” by the philosopher Benoit Blanc

Didn't Lennon consistently abuse his wife and kids? I remember my teacher telling me that in school. Pointed out the irony during his song "Imagine".

I imagine it's quite a touchy subject there. Almost makes me want to try...

Imagine normalizing spousal abuse and child neglect because you like a dudes music. I enjoy the Beatles music, but seriously, fuck John Lennon and his two-faced existence. I would have been fine with the fab-three. Lennon fans condone his behaviors and make excuses of "it was a different time" or some other bullshit. I do wish he was still alive, because I do believe people can change, but he died an asshole, the same way he lived.
