mte. It's really strange to me that his fans go "Yeah he totally was but YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO BE EDGY BY DISLIKING HIM FOR IT".

I thought the common thought process was Someone is a asshole hypocrite > you dislike them for it, but when it's a famous guy it has to go Someone is a asshole hypocrite > MUST UNDERSTAND HIS INNER SECRET PAIN > like him.

It's different when they're famous obviously, just look at Roman Polanski and Whoopi Goldberg's comment about what he did not being "rape rape."

I understand liking asshole characters, since they tend to be interesting, but a real person who's an asshole hypocrite? Just because he was in the Beatles is no excuse (I don't even like the Beatles, they sounded like everyone else when they first became famous, then they became hippies).

I fail to see what the Polanski business has to do with anything, here. I don't think Lennon gets a favour treatment because he was famous, I think it's rather the contrary.

The point about liking Lennon is that, although he tended to be arsehole-ish, he had huge redeeming qualities. I think people who do know him and like him admire the fact that, although he had a certain tendency to be a bastard, he kept trying to get better, and he eventually did, in the last years of his life. He managed to get a lot of his demons under control and led a rather quiet life as a househusband, going back to music when his son was old enough not to need him all the time anymore.

The Beatles didn't sound like everyone else back then. They sounded like no-one else, that's why they became so famous and started a trend, which was why a lot of bands sounded like them afterwards. And then they became hippies? What's wrong with hippies, they wrote wonderful tunes in these years.
