John Lennon, at least in his early life, was not a big believer in the whole God thing. He thought of God as just being a word. I believe, like George, he was much more into spiritualism and such. He was a great man and one of the most important thinkers of our time. His song Imagine is on the best 500 songs ever according to Rolling Stone at number 3. I also like Jealous Guy, Instant Karma!, Love, Mother, Cold Turkey, and Mind Games to name a few. He was great, his post-Beatles stuff was never as good as Paul's in my opinion, but none the less, he was truely special. Thank Goodness Mark David ChapF*uck was denied parole yet again. Too bad, maybe if he got out he could be blown away too.
John is and will continue to be sorely missed. George now too. I have read all the accounts of his death and they are heart-breaking. RIP John. One of our most treasured musical talents ever.

And you liar, teller of tall tales: you trample all the Lord's commandments underfoot, you murder, steal, commit adultery, and afterward break into tears, beat your breast, take down your guitar and turn sin into a song. Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.
