So did the guy who killed him like him or hate him?
The song ‘Imagine’ is THE bourgeois idealist theme song, reality is a very different tune.
They sucked as people (yes except Harrison he did a lot of good), but damn me if they didn’t make so much amazing music.
The Concert for Bangladesh was a big deal. Incidentally, the IRS froze a bunch of the money raised for a decade over failure to register the event with UNICEF in a timely manner. Harrison also endorsed Greenpeace and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.
The cheating sucked. But I’m hard pressed to get too mad at a guy like Harrison being hostile towards paying taxes to a government like Nixon’s.
Non-boomers really don’t. The Beatles were liberal-as-fuck celebrities who spent their entire adult lives in the music industry. I don’t really expect them to be the Vanguard of political change.
But Lennon getting domed just kinda prevented him from becoming another Bono or Sean Penn. After the civil rights assassinations of the 60s and 70s, his death was almost an afterthought.
