Lennon reminds me of James Dean and Marilyn Monroe. Their early, tragic deaths have given them a status above what they would have if they had lived longer lives. I will admit that Lennon had more talent than the other two, but the point remains. Dean only has three films to his name, yet he is a 'legend'. Had he died of a heart attack at age 60, you'd probably never hear of him.
whomod said: I generally don't like it when people decide to play by the rules against people who don't play by the rules. It tends to put you immediately at a disadvantage and IMO is a sign of true weakness. This is true both in politics and on the internet."
