Lennon was a closet Republican: Assistant

That would have proven the famous quote attributed to Churchill: "If you're not Liberal when you're 20, you have no heart. If you're not Conservative when you're 40, you have no brain."

In the end, John was a person who made mistakes. I had a hard time accepting that he was sexist or that he hit Cynthia. John being a huge influence on my life, and me not believing in violence against women, that was hard to accept.
But, that being said, I could care less if John was a Democrat, Republican, or...whatever. He made good music, that's all that really matters.
I also have friends who are Republicans, and they're not all terrible, lol!

That why we shouldn't have idols, we should follow messages and not messengers. Actually that was something John said and I take that message. :)

That's exactly how I always felt. But the more I've read and thought about him the more I understand why he behaved the way he did. And I believe he really evolved as the years went by. I heard a bit of his last interview the other night, where he explained that "Woman" was more than just a love song to Yoko; it was an apology to all women. I'm heartbroken that we never got the chance to see this evolution continue.
