John Lennon

This evening, I've been downloading music of John Lennon. Bootlegs,
live versions, trials, etc. etc. ("The complete lost tapes of John Lennon").
Normally I'm not such a "rare-hunter". Too much cult to me.
But this summer evening, listening to known and unknown music by Lennon really lifts my spirit and moves me.
His (Brittish) sense of humor, his political engagement("luck of the Irish"), creativity, vulnerability ("Mother"), sensitivity ("Dear Prudence") and social awareness ("Imagine"), I find impressing.
Of course he could be nasty, irritating, etc. etc. Especially with Ono at his side.
Doesn't matter.
A great composer, performer, artist.
A great man.
A great friend within the human family.
I love the man and his music.
