Living is easy with eyes closed. Misunderstanding all you see.
-John Lennon
John Lennon:
“It (“Getting Better" ) is a diary form of writing. All that “I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her and kept her apart from the things that she loved" was me. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women.” songs don't make up for being a dick
Yes. I always have the same comeback for Jim Morrison and Bob Dylan.
And John Wayne! And Ted Kennedy....
So many assholes!
The words are profound, but he himself was an asshole.
I think when he wrote these words he knew he was flawed.
