I guess his death was very timely for him.

Do walruses go to their home to die? I thought it was just elephants.

Good thing he didn't it would've been nicked.

It's great to hear some new stories about John so many years after his death. I particularly liked the story about sailing-- imagining him at the wheel in a storm is a great image.

It's rather sappy that he was visiting his apartment just to bid his son goodnight when he was killed.

And the fat worthless piece of shiat that killed him is still alive.

Lennon was great when I was in my teens-early 20s. But now he's so gloomy and emo sounding. I mean the songwriting is par excellence. It's just the direction of it. Just never find myself in the mood to bum myself out on purpose.

The walrus was Paul.

Meh, I don't care. I never even listened to The Monkees.

The Monkeys was Harrison, Lennon formed Wings after the breakup.

They should have killed Paul instead.

Q: What will it take for a Beatles reunion?

A:Two bullets

We were going to deport his sorry ass, but he fought it.

 
FrancoFile 2008-10-08 10:35:57 AM  
Why didn't he just take the ferry?

 
Wolf Flywheel 2008-10-08 11:02:46 AM  
Lennon was a douche.

 
Passive Aggressive Larry [TotalFark] 2008-10-08 11:47:45 AM  
That was actually a pretty good read.

 
Tenebreux 2008-10-08 12:01:37 PM  
He should have just flown in. They have an airport there, although the name of it escapes me.

That joke's so old, the punchline used to be "Three bullets."
(In retrospect, it should have been, "two bullets and terminal cancer").

John Lennon is a massive wanker.

No Deary, John Lennon is dead.
You are an asshat, but at the end of time, John Lennon will still be dead, but you'll be a dead asshat.

Dude! Do you have any idea that he's dead?

/But now!

That contract is still up for grab's as is the one on Ringo.

No. Way.? Dude, your reading comprehension blows. But now, I don't listen to him, or does he still have to be alive for me not to listen to him anymore. I used to listen to a lot of John Coltrane, but now I am worn out on alot of it.

/Next thing you know you'll be telling me he's dead too

//damn, just damn This is one of the stupidesz defenses I've made on fark

I, personally don't get why people are so big on The Beatles.
I mean, don't get me wrong, they were good, but they didn't do anything great for music, despite the fact that everyone and their mothers list them as an "influence".
The Beatles copied shiat from every other band in their day.
They were nothing original.
And the drug-inspired writing of Lennon and McCartney was not "poetry", as many people so affectionately call it.

Alvin did more for music than you ever will!
And Dave was an ARTIST!
