There would be scandal after scandal in the 'newspapers' constantly harrassing him and turning our opinion of him. Just think David Beckham but 100 fold. If the 'papers' had their way he would become the antichrist cos that is what they like doing.
Destroying our heroes and idols so they can make more money.
gosh i sound so critical of the 'British newspapers'. I AM!!!

You obviously know nothing about John Lennon. He was, arguably, the cleverest of the Beatles and was very outspoken about many issues, particularly the Vietnam war. So much so that the CIA had him on their files as one of the most potentially subversive people in the USA.
He wouldn't leave the USA for any tours because he wouldn't have been allowed back in.
Look him up on Wikipaedia.

I suggest that you dont dismiss what you don't understand.
John Lennon was part of a group that changed the face of modern culture. Not just music, which was revoloutionary, but the actual culture of Britain. He was and is Iconic. He stood up and was counted using his fame and position to take a stance against the Vietnam war that the conservative American class found threatening.
He would have been a political activist still famous and Iconic.
To call the Beatles a famous 60's combo shows you have know idea what or who they were. Far from average look how many today still copy them as for others altering Music and culture WHO? the only other person who could claim to have such an effect, maybe more so, was Elvis Presley.

Again you obviously are not aware of what happened, the Beatles took uppers while in Hamburg to keep them awake while performing, they were not introduced to Pot until Bob Dylan shared it with them in about 1964.
LSD was the drug of the smart set and was already widely in use before the Beatles used.
In addition to this there was a wide drug culture in all the music scenes.
Although the Beatles took drugs it wasn't done to "promote anything" All the Beatles did was do what the other kids were doing at the time. Thier profile meant they were watched like hawks.

So they were all druggies, that's what I have been saying, certainly not hero's or anybody to look up to, when they got caught with drugs as they were often caught they would make jokes about it, a good message to give out to youngsters isn't it!!
Just a load of musically talented yobs!! not my taste in music but obviously talented.

drugs, who cares. the man was, and still is a music legend. my old man raised me on the beatles, john lennon was one of his hero's and my old man never touched drugs, john lennon certainly didn't have anything to do with the drugs i've done. surely your not trying to blame him, for a misspent youth are you ratter?
