Well that's just it, but according to some of the critics here, he couldn't even do that - in the New York years. He was also an intensely jealous person, and did not provide adequately for his wife Cynthia and their son Julian when he left them or, more accurately, after he ordered them out of the house they'd shared - Kenwood, in St. George's estate, Weybridge. Great man? Hmmm...
Two paragraphs about sum up Lennon and the Beatles.
Doesnt matter what the critics here say. Particularly since none have acheived anywhere near either of the following.
When they have. Then they can talk like they know something.
"In his remarkable lifetime, John Lennon and the Beatles achieved spectacular worldwide fame. No band before or after them has come close to the level of success and popularity that they attained.
Throughout the 1960s, Lennon and his bandmates, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and song-writing partner Paul McCartney had an extraordinary influence on rock and roll. Together with McCartney, Lennon wrote dozens of instant classics which lost none of their power in the decades that followed. These songs are so well known that their melodies and lyrics are recognized instantly all over the world."
As far as his split.
I doubt very much they were hurting financially. But either way it shows he was human like the rest of us an on a personal level not much different then millions of other men, and women who do the same exact thing every day
