He was a Reagan fan because Reagan kept the cocaine flowing.

this from John Lennon's Playboy December 1980 interview :
LENNON: I've had cocaine, but I don't like it . The Beatles had lots of it in their day, but it's a dumb drug, because you have to have another one 20 minutes later. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. Really, I find caffeine is easier to deal with.

So a guy that worked alongside Lennon for less than a year and "thinks" he met Reagan is an authority on Lennon?

Does this guy work for the same Indian rag that said Obama was spending $2 billion on his trip?

Hahahahahahahah!

You're so gullible McFly

Name a President that didn't.

Name a President that didn't.

George W had a little plaque on his desk which read, "The Flow Stops Here."

No surprise. That's the usual baby-boomer pattern.

That was for the supply of shot-gun shells to Cheney.

 

[rosco rathbone]

Clues abound in his later work...

"I just believe in me/ Yoko and me/ That's reality"

 

[bronzeage]

That was for the supply of shot-gun shells to Chaney.

This guy?

To me it sounds like he was only unsure about the date. He is right.

...which he pilfered from the tampon dispenser in the Bess Truman memorial ladies room.

Makes complete sense. Lennon was widely considered to be brilliant.

My dad says people become conservatives when they have something to conserve. I suppose that's true unless you're talking about hydrocarbon fuels.

this from John Lennon's Playboy December 1980 interview :
LENNON: I've had cocaine, but I don't like it . The Beatles had lots of it in their day, but it's a dumb drug, because you have to have another one 20 minutes later. Your whole concentration goes on getting the next fix. Really, I find caffeine is easier to deal with.

It was a joke, dude.

Name a President that didn't.

Fillmore, Taylor, Polk, Tyler, Harrison, Van Buren, Jackson, Q. Adams, Monroe, Madison, Jefferson, Adams, Washington. Cocaine was first isolated in 1855. Pierce, Buchanan and Lincoln probably didn't even know what it was. It was medicalized during Grant's administration. It was legal during Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, both of Cleveland's, Harrison, McKinley and Roosevelt, then outlawed during Taft, who therefore technically got the first chance to win the Reagan Drug Hypocrite Trophy. Even for most of them, though, cocaine was only sort of marginally illegal. It wasn't until 1970 that it became really illegal, so Nixon had the first honest chance at the trophy.

The rest were probably complicit, though Saint Ronald gets the prize for actually selling it himself.

My dad says people become conservatives when, they have so much money, they don't know what to buy next.

Ok, I edited, sorry,
and I don't even work for a new paper, ,
I only read them.

Just shows what maturation and paying taxes will do to the outlook of someone with a little drive, ambition and talent..

Hah! Too true.

Then again, the ultra rich often seem pretty liberal, too.

No surprise. That's the usual baby-boomer pattern.

Lennon was born in 1940...

...he wasn't a "baby-boomer".

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

Elvis was sucking Nixon's cock pretending to be an FBI agent when he died a bloated, drug addict.

Another guy laughing his way all the way to the bank.

No thanks.

You heard that shit too Vette? I doubt he was a closet Republican though he might have held some Conservative views. We all grow up sooner or later. But I'm sure he was more a Libertarian than anything.

He had a kid whose live he actually became involved with. Everyone I've ever known who switched that was what did it. And yes he was probably Libertarian
