Yep
He had his flaws as a human being but he gave us the greatest and most influential (still to this day) band That's ever walked the Earth and was 1/2 of the greatest songwriting duo of all-time.
Happy birthday, John.

Against my better judgement, I started a Lennon birthday thread over on tOT and it went over like a fart in church.
His politics aside(and he leaned much more right by the time he died), I've never understood the hate the guy gets. Yes, I know he wasn't the best human, far from it, it's still weird.

Yep, a once in a lifetime performer.

Tomorrow Never Knows and Helter Skelter are my personal favorites. Some of the experimental stuff completely flopped, but some of it also was pioneering. The Ballad of John and Yoko and While My Guitar Gently Weeps are also excellent.

Screwing around on YouTube I found this band from Glasgow called The Fratellis. Apparently they've been around for a while but I had never heard of them. Very strong Beatles type energy but without being a straight rip-off. Beatles fans might enjoy.

True.
Yoko is just as culpable.

For one extraordinary week beginning on February 14th, 1972, the Revolution WAS televised. Daytime Revolution takes us back in time to the week that John Lennon and Yoko Ono descended upon a Philadelphia broadcasting studio to co-host the iconic Mike Douglas Show, at the time the most popular show on daytime television with an audience of 40 million viewers a week.
What followed was five unforgettable episodes of television, with Lennon and Ono at the helm and Douglas bravely keeping the show on track. Acting as both producers and hosts, Lennon and Ono handpicked their guests, including controversial choices like Yippie founder Jerry Rubin and Black Panther Chairman Bobby Seale, as well as political activist Ralph Nader and comic truth teller George Carlin. Their version of daytime TV was a radical take on the traditional format, incorporating candid Q&A sessions with their transfixed audience, conversations about current issues like police violence and women’s liberation, conceptual art events, and one-of-a-kind musical performances, including a unique duet with Lennon and Chuck Berry and a poignant rendition of Lennon’s “Imagine”. A document of the past that speaks to our turbulent present, Daytime Revolution captures the power that art can have when it reaches out to communicate, the prescience of that dialogue, and the bravery of two artists who never took the easy way out as they fought for their vision of a better world.
