December 8th marked the 34th anniversary of John Lennon's death. As the Told Slant lyric goes, "I wouldn't wanna die like John Lennon did.", John Lennon's death was as famous as his music. John Lennon is noted for his beautiful, often inspirational songs about peace, love, and humanity. However, not many are aware of how dark of a person John Lennon was. Both his son and wife, Yoko, have commented on Lennon's behavior. "Both Julian and his mother Cynthia have publicly stated that Lennon was alternately absent, indifferent, drug-addled, and generally unpleasant to be around."
John Lennon was physically abusive to his wife and emotionally and verbally abusive to both his son and wife. Also, John Lennon was also the actual reason The Beatles broke up, not Yoko. "it was Lennon and Lennon alone who brought down the axe, announcing at an otherwise routine meeting that he was leaving the group."
On his anniversary, many will be grieving the death of John Lennon. There is no doubt that he was extremely influential I'm his music. However, he should only be commemorated for his music, but nothing else.
