shareGiven what he was like as a human being it would be interesting to see how it was received. I am not into a the SJW terms they like to throw around but from what I have read about Lennon he was very much a "Toxic Male" in terms of how he abused women and how he treated his son.
All the peace and hippie shit was just a gimmick.
Lennon indeed had major anger issues, due to all that happened in his youth: abandonment by his father, then his mother, then his mother's return as his best friend, only for her to be killed by a drunken off-duty policeman who hit her with his car. Everyone who knew Lennon then agree that's when he started become so cynical & angry & violent.
But he did want to change. He owned up to his youthful behavior in both his songs & in his later life. He was quite sincere about wanting more peace & love in both the world at large & in his own life, and far less hatred & violence.
He may have wanted to change but he never did. Maybe some people just couldn't but I do find it hypocritical nonetheless given what he made money preaching about.
shareActually, it appears that he did change to a considerable degree, as those he knew him in his later years will testify. Doesn't mean he became perpetually blissed-out, but that he took responsibility for his younger days & was actively striving to become a better person. It's never a complete process & it's always ongoingβthe important thing is making the effort. And he was making the effort.
