John Lennon

And you think I'm here listening to the nonsense you write, I step aside and listen to myself In my life, I'm only sleeping, Across the universe, Oh my love, why not also the controversial Imagine (the music may seem obvious but not really, but the lyrics… if only there were more pacifists who could express such simple yet universal and comprehensible concepts, we need them, now more than ever with how the world is turning, just look at the news every day), I continue with other gems: sexy sadie, julia, strawberry fields forever and whoever has more can add. Excuse me, this is not a matter of being partisan; it's just a matter of recognizing the talent, which is indisputable, just listen. That he might have been an asshole at certain times in his life, I won't contest, but every human makes mistakes, many even, the important thing is to always live up to one’s own soul and Lennon, with his music, was able to do that, with great spiritual and artistic honesty. Perhaps not a genius in the post-Beatle period but definitely a great artist, an important artist, capable of indoctrinating and making people happier and more dream-like.
