So, your entire argument relies on nothing but hypotheticals and assumptions that either the reporter or Lennon's widow lied.
Wow.
Serious question: what kind of shrine to you have to Lennon in your hut? Does it involve candles or just a lot of photos taped to a mirror? Do you sacrifice chickens to his ghost or just clutch a rosary made of old guitar picks when you pray?
I ask because, between your wild guesses on what "really" happened and your belief that Lennon's more respected than the Pope, that's one hell of a religious devotion you got going there.
