Reminder that John Lennon only slapped Cynthia once at the age of about 17, and by her own admission never laid a finger on her again.

Assault is still assault. That is like saying Paul raped Wendy but he on;y put the tip of his phallus thus it is not rape.

>Mfw all that I'm remembered for is beating my wife.

well yeah, it's just a meme

True, but he did once grab a woman's tit and when she slapped him for it he decked her and tried to put his boot in when she was down

sauce?

He also screamed at his son Sean so hard that his ear started bleeding, because he wasn't cutting a steak right.

he also only slapped her ironically

>tfw lifetime of singing has turned your vocal chords into a weapon

The book "Paul McCartney: a Life"
It was immediately after he beat the shit out of Bob Wooler:

>he only beat her up ironically

>he ONLY beat a woman once
god you're dumb i fucking hate this website

He was literally a child. Also a slap is hardly assault. Especially for back in the 50s.

then leave we don't like you either

Good. Go back to red dit you faggot. I'm sure your white knight posts will get plenty of upboats there!

>thinking assault is bad means le reddit xDDDDD
ha ha! you got me friendo!

seriously, if you hit a woman once when you're 17 that hardly justifies being remembered forever for being a wife beater. I'm sick of people writing off the beatles for this, yeah john lennon was a narcissist but he wasn't the devil people make him out to be

He was a child who slapped a girl one time. Big deal.

>it's bad to hurt women
>but it's ok to emotionally abuse people on the internet
Yikes.

you stick out like a sore thumb. Go back

>That is like saying Paul raped Wendy
Well, his wife claimed he beat her as well

[citation needed]

>implying his wife was the only person he ever attacked

>I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved
>I used to be cruel to my woman, and physically -- any woman. I was a hitter. I couldn't express myself and I hit. I fought men and I hit women. That is why I am always on about peace, you see. It is the most violent people who go for love and peace. Everything's the opposite. But I sincerely believe in love and peace. I am a violent man who has learned not to be violent and regrets his violence. I will have to be a lot older before I can face in public how I treated women as a youngster

you can argue he was contrite and tried to change but you can't act like he dindu nuffin

>calling someone dumb on Sup Forums
>emotional abuse

Yes. Why wouldn't it?

Have you ever told someone kys? or called them a faggot or the n-word?

just say nigger

he also broke a bottle over Pete Best's head without being provoked

he was too cocky

He also killed Sutcliffe

You probably would too if your shitty drummer was holding you back from stardom.

While going through a divorce after having previously went on about how great he treated her. In court she was repeatedly BTFO over her obvious lies.

[citation needed]
>If it's Paul, it's obvious lies
>if it's John, it's not
Stop

i would probably tell him to quit

>if John assault a shitty drummer it's bad
>if Paul verbally abuses a good drummer for not playing precisely what he wants, that's OK
I'm seeing a pattern of apaulogists here

The Beatles is the most overrated "band" of all time. They make pop music disguised as art and you faggots eat it all up like the retards you are. LISTEN, this shit is not NOT art. Everything they did with albums Revolver and onward had been done MANY times before, but they just made them digestible for kissless virgin teens who think to delude themselves into thinking that their taste in music is a sign of intellectual superiority.

John Lennon is a jerk. He's puts on a facade of whatever he thinks will get him an in with the young'uns. The rebel and borderline autistic man he was before The Beatles, the quiet and mysterious yet """cute""" guy he pretended to be in the Rubber Soul era, and then the enigmatic and politically driven individual he pretends to be now. But fools like you don't look past this obvious marketing ruse and think of him as the greatest genius of his generation.

I'd like to piss down the throats of everyone who thinks The Bleates is a good band and make good music. Get some taste you fucking retards.

Yeah but did you know that John Lennon beat his wife?

...

And?

That doesn't make her un-hit. It doesn't take the hit back. It doesn't make him not a woman beater just because he stopped doing it later in life.

Lennon is a piece of shit, and none of these faggot's hero worship of him will undo that.

Um, yeah, trying to make the world a better place through music and spreading world peace does

Give me literally one other song prior to I'm Only Sleeping that utilizes reversed guitar in the same way.

Give me one song prior to Tomorrow Never Knows that uses tape loops over a droney indian influenced pop song that only uses one chord throughout the whole thing.

Give me one song prior to I Feel Fine that intentionally uses feedback as a creative point of interest.

Give me one song that prior to Taxman that uses a guitar solo as distorted and indian influenced as it did.

Give me one song prior to A Hard Days Night where a single chord can be played that immediately identifies the song without any further assistance.

also

>implying technical innovation is the only point of interest within music
>implying John and Paul as songwriters weren't completely ahead of the game melodically compared to other pop acts prior to them
>implying writing a melody as memorable and iconic as Yesterday isn't a feat in of itself and worthy of praise alone

it's a pasta lad

Thousands of protesters chanting "Give Peace a Chance" outside of the White House likely played at least some role in stopping the Vietnam war, saving who knows how many thousands of people from dying. He created a rallying cry for peace that echoed around the world and public consciences that almost certainly aided the deescalation of these types of conflict.

But yes, lets take the fact that a lower class Liverpudlian teenager slapped his girlfriend in 1957 and use that to discredit everything else he did.

>it doesn't make him not a woman beater just because he stopped doing it later in life
it's not that, it's because he did it once as a teenager. There's no reason to judge him as a person because of one mistake he made as a fucking kid.

>mistake
seethere is literally nothing wrong with a backhand now and again

>comparing beating women irl to
some banter on some internet basketweaving forum


mysides

not that user, but follow this link, click the cover of the book, then type "steak" into the search box
(also it doesn't say his ear was bleeding, but it does say he was in pain, his ear was damaged, and he had to go to the doctor)

paul a qt

Its not like that at all.
but yes, assault is assault.
except I guess when it isn't.

is this the conclusion to the Sup Forums John Lennon Domestic abuse trial

yes, he has been found guilty as charged

Reminder that John Lennon killed Pierro Scaruffi's parents

this feels true.

proof was posted

Didn't he say "I hate the way you fucking laugh" to his son?

tru

...

...

John Lennon Beat His Wife

He isn't tho, he is remembered for his amazing pop songs, both with the group and solo. Only edgy contrarians bring up the assault and ,if OP is correct, it sounds like most people grossly over exaggerate it

Chris Brown can use this reason too

Was he autistic? A lot of songs like Glass Onion or I'm So Tired have this very autistic feel to them.

>Thousands of protesters chanting "Give Peace a Chance" outside of the White House likely played at least some role in stopping the Vietnam war
Probably not much of a role tho desu
Heh heh, who here remember that "peace protester" in Forrest Gump who hurts Jenny and forrest goes apeshit on him?

Whoa! Should white knight cucks like you use the word "faggot"?

Have you ever read any of Cynthia's autobiographies? Particularly her first one "A Twist of Lennon"?

I haven't read the latest one that came out before she died, but in A Twist of Lennon, even if John DIDN'T beat her, he still played a lot of mentally and emotionally cruel head games with her. Plus she thought drugs RUINED The Beatles.

Why do Miles Davis and Lou Reed get a pass when they did the same, with even more women involved?

maybe because they were actually the creative talent and driving force of their respective careers? You know and not a sidekick

Now, what is the citation in that actual source?

How would Sean even know? He was like 3.

Wanna piss down my throat, faggot?
I'll emasculate you with a rusty switchblade, faggot!

No, better yet, I'll just shove said switchblade up your urethra!

C'MON! TRY IT!

...

I don't care, he was still a fucking asshole

Oh do you know him perosnally?

He poisoned our water supply, burned our crops, and delivered a plague upon our houses!

>Now, what is the citation in that actual source?
what? what do you mean "what is the citation"
its a quote from sean lennon
>How would Sean even know? He was like 3.
maybe his mother told him, maybe he remembered it. sometimes people are able to remember that something happened to them, even if it happened early in life

>maybe
Not what I'm asking.

Try again

If it did happen, there would have been actual medical evidence
