A Conversation for Church of the Beatles
BBC documentary about Lennon's "Imagine" today

Today, saturday sept. 20th, 2003.
I read, there was a documentary by the BBC at 2, about John Lennon's famous and beautiful "Imagine".
The ninety (90) minutes had made me already suspicious.
And yes, it was what I feared.
Besides the still everlasting irritating Ono, the very professional documentary showed ánd confirmed the John Lennon cult; his personality, his singing, his thinking, his hippie behaviour, his this and that.
The warm lava of Lennon's inspiring song had been made to a statue of stone, which is - and should be?- worshipped all over the globe.
The Beatles have always been a cult-group, although that word wasn't used in those days. And that cult went on with Lennon.
I do realize, I am deeply inspired by the music of the Beatles and John Lennon.
But I left all that (mania)history behind, and let inspiration find its very own way in my very own life.
Far away from any cult, that always suffucates life.
That Beatles' and Lennon cult has done a lot of damage. Not the least to the Beatles themselves. Harrison clearly suffered from it, by example. The whole soulmusic was almost pushed aside by it.
Imagine, the whole world filled with John Lennon clones. A very uninspiring picture. It wouldn't be Lennon's goal either, I believe.
Not mine, anyway.

I don't see the BEATLES as a cult group in any manner whatsoever.
Many fans may have blindly adored them, but their music inspired consecutive generations who have their own sight.
