Because someone can develop skill with a box with strings on it so as to conjure hypnotically effective and artistic sounds from it does not make him a Saint. The truth is John Lennon was a narcissist who damaged himself with hedonistic over indulgence and would very likely of destroyed himself if his friends had not tried to slow down the process even if Chapman had not of. Regardless of the mistakes Lennon’s father might of made, Lennon grew up fit and healthy enough as a product of this mans concerns and efforts to change the world, for good and ill, and the man has done his job faithfully. The sooner you can weed out the hogwash from your own nut, the sooner there is room for something else that actually matters. They anthropomorphise their dogs attributing characteristics to them they seldom possess and regularly “their” children, pets, parents, heroes and idols are beyond reproach, but the man that went to sea to school and feed him is invited to tea only to suffer the ravings and threats of a spoilt drug casualty whose sycophants label some sought of Sabre toothed monster because John was nut, regardless that they don’t know the man from Adam.

I sat through it all, completely stunned, hardly believing that this was the kind considerate ‘Beatle’ John Lennon talking to his father with such evil intensity… I was now listening to the result of this treatment as he reviled his dead mother in unspeakable terms, referring, also, to the aunt who had brought him up, in similar derogatory terms, as well as one or two of his closest friends. It seemed he had gone to America, at great expense to have some kind of treatment through drugs, which enabled one to go back and relive from early childhood the happenings, which in his own case, he should have been happier to forget. He launched into an account of his recent visit to America, and as the story unfolded, so the self inflicted torture began to show in his face, and his voice rose to a scream as he likened himself to Jimi Hendrix and other pop stars who had recently departed from the scene, ending in a crescendo as he admitted he was ‘Bloody mad, insane’ and due for an early demise.
