Did someone associate John Lennon with great music?  :headscratch:  I must be on the wrong planet.

Were you born in Eastern Bloc???

got butthurt over his pro-peace stance?

Nope not a bit. Didn't like his music, his politics or his choice of women but I never paid much attention to any of it unless the media forced me to while watching other parts of the news. I don't put mere entertainers up on any pedestal or think their opinions carry any weight. As far as I am concerned, he didn't do much of anything that really mattered and IMO the world didn't change for the worse when he died, same for elvis, janis joplin, johny cash or marylin monroe.

Apparently anyone who doesn't share your juvenile hero worship of entertainers bothers you. Tough, get over it.

Well said Mav...

The hero worship or popularity cult reminds me of a November about two years ago...
