Mmm...you've taken that a bit far. He did some very good work with PiL too, although some would put that down more to Glen Matlock and Jah Wobble. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear, people don't realise how lucky they are when their idols die young. There's a timeline where John Lennon wasn't shot and went on to support Donald Trump. Probably not that big a leap considering his views on tax. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was there not stories that Lennon was a fan of Reagan ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I often like to think about how prominent people who died young would be tarnishing their legacy today. Ian Curtis - Much like Morrissey, he would lean into right wing politics. Could see him as a statue defender. Richey Edwards - Regular column in Spiked, stands for Brexit Party in 2019 European election for South Wales. Kurt Cobain - Successfully off drugs, becomes anti-vax and then QAnon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty good in The Killers with John Cassevettes, Angie Dickinson and Lee Marvin so it's possible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also found out in later years that he called his autobiography "Memoirs of a Geezer". f**k's sake. Folk have gone up against the wall for less. Being petty, I also recall he did B-Side remixes of Dodgy tracks in the Britpop years. I hate Dodgy with an excessive passion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's quoted turning point too which is always a good laugh. I wanted to avoid an echo chamber and was drawn in by their (admittedly impressive) production values but good god their content is laughable drivel. You won't have to look too far past their celebrity quotes to see a post decrying celebrity involvement in politics. National review it ain't.

I am certain John Lennon would have become an insufferable, Bono level bore. He was a prolific domestic abuser when alive, and a seriously dark individual in general. Wouldn't be surprised if he ended up like Phil Spector had he lived.
