Just another reason why we're the greatest nation on earth is all.

True.

Shut the fuck up you retard!

Somebody's still a little sensitive over the fall of the British empire I see.

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.

So you're like those "Sons of the Civil War" we have over here in the United States, um, excuse me, colonies? Glorifying an era you didn't actually live through?

I do also want to remind everybody that not only is Billy Idol much more musically talented than both Lennon and McCartney put together, he is also much better looking, and could beat them in a fight.

True dat!

all you need is bail

A former personal assistant to John Lennon who was accused of stealing hundreds of the late Beatle's personal photographs and letters, issued an apology to his widow, Yoko Ono, in a Manhattan courtroom yesterday.

"I offer no excuses for my conduct, and ask only that you can find it in your heart to forgive me," Frederick Seaman, 49, said in a statement issued as part of a settlement in a case which offered an unprecedented glimpse into Lennon's domestic habits, his falling-out with Paul McCartney, and the insomnia and fear of stalkers which dominated the last months of his life.

"I now realise how much pain and embarrassment I have caused," said Mr Seaman, admitting that he had violated a confidentiality agreement. He agreed to return and surrender the rights to 374 photographs he took of the family as part of his job, to refund $75,000 (£50,000) from selling Lennon's letters, and to pay undisclosed damages.

Confidentiality, Ms Ono told the court, had been crucial to the couple, who lived in New York and feared for the safety of their newborn son.

Also among the stolen documents was the draft of a letter from Lennon to Paul and Linda McCartney in which he condemns the couple for blaming the break-up of the Beatles on his involvement with Ms Ono. "I hope you realise what shit you and the rest of my kind and unselfish friends laid on Yoko and me since we have been together," he wrote.

Ms Ono told the court: "John was a person. He was not just an artist, but a family man."

He was also a demanding employer, judging from the notes Lennon left for Mr Seaman, ordering him to carry out household chores. "Trade in fishy cat food tins for meaty ones," he instructs him.

Another enlisted Mr Seaman's help in getting Ms Ono to have her teeth checked: "Remind YO her teeth will be needed in later life."

A fourth, about his boots, suggested he already distrusted Mr Seaman: "Have you sold them? or rented perhaps."

In another moment, Ms Ono was required to tell the court that Lennon, who was gunned down by a fan outside his apartment in 1980, was "a member of a band called the Beatles".

Why? I can't think of a single U.S. president who's had his birth certificate "demanded" of him before this.

As I mentioned once or twice before, I never really doubted Obama was a natural born citizen because of the fact his mother was a citizen.

Rob's Board is a stinking cosmic sewer! I have fouled the Media X board beyond repair and broken in the mire the shining cities of Rob! I have lost! Is this vanity? Then I will remake the entire thread in the image of G. Gordon Liddy, Paul. And when at last I turn to look upon the eternal desolation I have wrought...I will see The G-shill, as in a mirror....and know what senility is.

But I also regard him as the quintissential hippie scumbag hypocrite prick marxist.

One article I read said beyond his material possesions, he had an enormous porn collection.
