I’m a bit of a Lennon scholar.

I think Lennon would appreciate the pic.

He had no loyalty to a party - he was anti establishment, not a modern American liberal.

He certainly saw the game for what it was - and none of them ever expected to become so rich and famous. He saw it even more so when he was post-Beatles and had the fbi breathing down his neck and learned how the activism really is. He pissed off activists and democrats because he refused to use his image and donate his money after he realized what they are up to. Without digging through my library, I can paraphrase his thoughts:

‘They are all greedy children who want power - they want to destroy/riot vs create and spread peace - they fail to see the backwards ways of being greedy for money/power as a means to spread peace and prosperity. … and they all turned on me as soon as I quit giving them money and using my image after challenging them on some planned activism.’

This dude is legit anti war and like trump for example, Lennon did more to try and create peace than any leaders of his time. One example - He sent a bag of acorns to every leader in the world with a note suggesting they plant trees as a way to communicate/create solidarity among countries. You could say “that’s dumb he did nothing by doing this” - but it’s a fuck load better than geopolitics and coups and shit.

Nothing satanic about the music - open to debate this. The Beatles, John especially, are the most documented artists in modern times … we have demos of demos, notes, producers notes, recordings of conversations about songs, diaries, nothing points to satan.

Now with modern remaster albums, or Paul McCartney in recent decades… there may be something there. But Lennon, George and ringo? Those mf are solid punk rock type mf.
