I heard the same reference after Lennon's assassination. He was
remarking upon the assassination of leftist activist, Allard K.
Lowenstein, in March of 1980, eight months before Lennon, himself, was
murdered. Ironically, Lowenstein's assassin was a disenchanted former
protege (Dennis Sweeney) who "heard voices in his head" and is still
remarking upon the assassination of leftist activist, Allard K.

protege (Dennis Sweeney) who "heard voices in his head" and is still
a mental hospital in New York. Is this just a remarkable coincidence
or were you trying to be cute in using those exact same words?
Apparently, Lennon perceived the murder of Lowenstein as part of an
ongoing conspiracy to get rid of the intellectual elite behind the
leftist political movement of the sixties.
"Intellectual elite"? ROTFLMAO! < (chatroom moron speak)or were you trying to be cute in using those exact same words?

arrogance of the dope-smoking 1960's crowd
Guess you are unfamiliar with the WWII generation, the one guys likeTom Brokaw called "The Greatest Generation."
1960's malcontents.
I didn't hear any of them
complaining that it was arrogant and egotistical to be discussed in
such terms or apologizing for disallowing the Baby Boomers any societal
control at all until the last of the WWII bunch had bought the farm.
Then we have Generation X, the most shallow, arrogant, and egotistical
bunch of nincompoops to come down the pike.
There are some Gen Xers that have their heads screwed on straight, in fact acomplaining that it was arrogant and egotistical to be discussed in

few more than the hippy-dippy boomers.
Anything that came before
they were born they refuse to understand the first thing about. What I
really enjoy are their silly reviews of great old movies and classic
LPs. They don't know shit. I take it your Revolver reference stems
from some recent exposure to that excellent LP because you sure weren't
there grooving with the people when it came out.
My parents used to play it along with Peter Paul & Mary, Bob Dylan, and somethey were born they refuse to understand the first thing about. What I

other folkie stuff when I was a kid living in the SF Bay Area in 1967. It
was OK, but I personally preferred the Seeds, Syndicate of Sound, Blues
Magoos, Mayall/Butterfield, Love, and stuff that would have been considered
a bit more bluesy/electric.
Your stupid remarks prove it undeniably.
Sounds like you're the stupid one. Probably touched a hippie nerve there,loser.
- they were all SO self-important
all, but that doesn't stop you from continuing to sound off.
I know my opinions are quite a bit different from the lamestream, but Iand "dangerous" that they just KNEW that the FBI, CIA, Nixon and the
Birchers MUST have been spending all their waking hours plotting to
assassinate them.
I think the self-important one is you. So far, you've made no sense atBirchers MUST have been spending all their waking hours plotting to
assassinate them.

don't have delusional paranoid fantasies, or more correctly the drug-induced
psychoses of the 60's dregs who thought they were the vanguards of some new
Age of Aquarius.
Sheesh. Lennon was merely another example of a guy who was
the last fifty years was in your estimation "a decent enough
entertainer."
Popular and influential, sure? MOST popular and influental? Hell no. Youra decent enough entertainer
Ha ha, the leader of the most popular and influential musical group inthe last fifty years was in your estimation "a decent enough
entertainer."
whitebread suburban middle-class background is showing. Both Elvis and James
Brown were (and ARE) are more influential.
I think his accomplishments go a little beyond "decent."
Any one of a number of his best songs go well beyond that.
Again, reasonable decent pop/rock songs, but all that later shit is only anAny one of a number of his best songs go well beyond that.
embarrassment.
extrapolating his own abilities into an area he
didn't know shit about. He wouldn't have been such a fucking
didn't know shit about. He wouldn't have been such a fucking
to the world
Speaking of extrapolating one's abilities into an area one doesn't knowshit about and embarrassing oneself in the process, that is precisely
what you are doing right here, only the whole world isn't paying
attention, that much is for certain. I suppose that in your fresh out
of the chute mentality anyone who spoke against the insanity of our
incompetent, years long campaign in Vietnam was an "embarrassment," eh?
Yeah, you gotta love the US military when it comes to getting the job
done. Is that what they did in 'Nam?
know-it-alls (a la McNamara) who tried to fight wars based on a spreadsheet,
and who never realized how asymmetrical warfare works.
Is that what they've done in
Iraq? Meanwhile, GM keeps pumping out those sitting duck Humvees
because it makes them a ton of money,
You have a better design for a vehicle? Let's see it?Iraq? Meanwhile, GM keeps pumping out those sitting duck Humvees
because it makes them a ton of money,
the number of soldiers that get killed in them be damned
How many have been killed in them? Do you actually have any statistics? Oris this merely an opportunity for you to go in a hippie rant and relive the
days of your ignorant, misguided Vietnam-era youth?
just so long as corporate American is in the black.
Funny how it doesn't take long for a hippie to start blathering about"corporate America". It's comes automatically to you, like smoking dope and
not bathing. :O|
Or maybe you had a problem with his, "We're more popular than
Jesus" remark. Did you burn your Beatles records after that one? (just
kidding, cuz you weren't even born yet).
I'm old enough to remember the Summer in Love in 1967 San Francisco, whereJesus" remark. Did you burn your Beatles records after that one? (just
kidding, cuz you weren't even born yet).
my father worked. I remember 7th Street in West Oakland in 1970, and the
Black Power types giving my dad shit when he was doing appraisal work in the
area. I probably remember as much as you did, given the fact I was sober
through the late 60's and early 70's.
When did you come along,
about 1980? Speaking of arrogance, what do you know about the first
thing prior to Ronald Reagan? Something you heard on the G Gordon
Liddy Show?
I remember when Reagan was governor of CA after Pat Brown (you were probablyabout 1980? Speaking of arrogance, what do you know about the first

Liddy Show?
stoned, damn, and missed it). :Oo
if he retired after "Revolver" and moved on to making organic
The Life, I Am the Walrus, Revolution, Imagine, God, Mother, Across the
Universe, Watching the Wheels, Woman, or several other first rate
tunes.
You mean "Music to Smoke Dope By", Right? LOL!!!salad dressing on a farm in upstate New York, or something along those
lines. :O|
Yeah, he wouldn't have penned Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds, A Day inlines. :O|
