but we're calling her "the worst" because she's terrible, can't sing, just awful awful awful tuneless voice

no, no, I'm listing that as an example of how her work is so very very terrible, so terrible that people wouldn't listen to her music even after they bought it

HEY GUYS LET'S TALK ABOUT CHRIS BROWN ON THIS JOHN LENNON THREAD HEY HUH WHO WANTS TO TALK ABOUT CHRIS BROWN

this is carrying contrarianism too far, the Past Masters version with the faster tempo and the off-key bleating of those two girls

"Give Peace a Chance" was changed to a John Lennon solo credit in the 1990s

I like the "Stand by Me" cover—there's some real angst on the way he hits those words.  "When the NIGHT has COME"

I've never liked "Woman" very much.  I think that the only really great song on Double Fantasy is "Watching the Wheels"—and then there was "Nobody Told Me", which could have made the album but got held back.

God, he probably would have tried rapping, and it would have been terrible

It's what I'm here for.

If I married her, maybe.  But this is Alexa Vega's job.

"Imagine" is Communism set to music.

He probably would have spent the decade ripping on Reagan, for starters.

but you see, people wanted her to sit in the background because she fucking suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

also, Yoko suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks

She got a raw deal because 1) well, she pretty much did break up the Beatles, no matter what revisionists say, 2) she's a self-promoting famewhore who pretty explicitly tried to ride her husband's coattails, and 3) as a singer and musician she is fucking terrible.

The people who know what "niggardly" means are neither confused nor annoyed since they know it has nothing to do with the racial slur

Well, the "hey, Paul was awesome" memo has been going around for a while now, and obviously you can't like BOTH of them, and nothing says "hipster" like making rigid judgments of people you've never met who have been dead for over 30 years

Wait, are people thinking the song isn't "in character"?  That John was actually threatening Cynthia Lennon with murder?

that's a McCartney song and a McCartney lyric

also, Lennon had talent, and could write songs and sing and play instruments
