Quote from: MrColossalYes, I would think that the real tragedy was that he died and not that he made some albums you don't like.
Agreed. Agreed with every bone in my body.

Some of his songs gave terrible messages, and some of his albums with Yoko-Ono were plain pornographic.
But that IS what you said. You said the tragedy wasn't his death. Then you said the real tragedy was that his music had some "bad" messages (and let's face it, asking for peace and saying you're a walrus are BAD messages). The way you have weighed things (i.e. placing Lennon's death as "not a tragedy" and his music's messages in the "tragedy" category) means that you think the messages in his music were worse than the fact he was murdered.
Which leaves me to reply, "Umm, have you got your priorities right?"
Also:
QuoteIf Lennon would have been still alive, I'm sure he would have never made that album with the other band members, made a few years back.
Yes, I think that if a musician were alive there'd be less chance of him making a reunion album than if he were dead. I'm also looking forward to Zombie Cobain's reunion with the rest of Nirvana.
