   I think he's both. I guess you just need to get a little loony to achieve many things. We'll never know for sure. The great ones have that dark side. Einstein, Mozart, Hemingway, etc.

   He was a heroin addict--for a year or two--not a crackhead. Get your facts straight, and remember:
   "time wounds all heels"
   John Lennon

   I have him on all my music blogs. LEGEND.
   
   Be sure to listen to these 80s songs of his. "Woman", "Nobody Told Me", and "(Just Like) Starting Over".

    I think someone is just mad about the recent Adam Sandler thread and lashing out.

    I think Lennon is overrated. McCartney was the real talent in the Beatles. You just have to check out 'Band on the Run' by Wings. The complex soft-prog arrangements and lyrical sophistication are so much more innovative than anything Lennon ever did.

       Imagine there's no heaven
       It's easy if you try
       No hell below us
       Above us only sky
       Imagine all the people
       Living for today...
       
       Imagine there's no countries
       It isn't hard to do
       Nothing to kill or die for
       And no religion too
       Imagine all the people
       Living life in peace...
       
       You may say I'm a dreamer
       But I'm not the only one
       I hope someday you'll join us
       And the world will be as one
       
       Imagine no possessions
       I wonder if you can
       No need for greed or hunger
       A brotherhood of man
       Imagine all the people
       Sharing all the world...
       
       You may say I'm a dreamer
       But I'm not the only one
       I hope someday you'll join us
       And the world will live as one

       I agree with you on that! Besides, it's Paul who wrote Yesterday which came to be the greatest pop song of all time. But John has more social consciousness and character. It was Lennon that made the Beatles an iconic symbol of radical thinking during their time. But music-wise I go with Paul... Yeah, yeah, yeah...

       Both John & Paul are equals who both brought their "musical genius" together

    Being human, no doubt Lennon had his flaws, shortcomings, and addictions. What's important is how he used his beliefs, talent, and dreams, to change the world. To me, the word "legend" has a connotation of the surreal, hype, partly fact/partly fiction - so no, I don't think of Lennon as a "legend" - I view his life as having been "legendary", I view HIM as an inspiration.
