I Bought John Lennon

For the ultimate Beatles completist, the white suit John Lennon wore on the cover of The Beatles' swansong Abbey Road is being auctioned on October 2nd.

Lennon's ex-wife Cynthia, otherwise known as Julian's mom, already sold all of the stuff John left behind when he shacked up with Yoko, so she's written a second book about her marriage to commemorate the 26th anniversary of cashing in on John's untimely murder at the hands of Steven King, who was trying to impress Judy Foster.

Oh, that's riotous - Stephen King? Great! That whole site is almost as good the "Paul is Dead" hoax site - http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/3674/pid.html

Paul and Ringo are dead. It's John and George who are alive.

Proof that Cynthia Lennon is right about LSD destroying her marriage and John? He married Yoko.

the yoko stuff is so tiresome. It never even made sense, without yoko you wouldn't have half his best songs that he wrote.

I'm probably stating the obvious here, but did anyone else know the supposed Paul is Dead message planted into the cover of Abbey Road, where it was supposed to symbolize a funeral procession? Apparently John was supposed to be God, Ringo was the Priest, Paul was the body and George was the gravedigger. I dunno, that's just something I heard about that I thought was kind of interesting.
