Thread Name: RIP John Lennon (9 Oct 1940 - 8 Dec 1980)
Subject: RE: RIP John Lennon
round about now is also the 43'rd anniversary of the beatles failing their audition to be Billy Fury's backing band..
.. if history had turned out different
a job as the UKs premier origional rockabilly teen-stars rythm guitarist have better encouraged Lennons true rock'n'roll heartbeat to win out over his latent artsy fartsy pretentious hippy twaddle misadventures..
Fury's mid 60's pop singles might have had more balls with such an efficient rock unit as the beatles behind him
..and the world might have been spared the dire trite perennial torture of 'Imagine'..
would Lennon have developed into the real substantial hard political punkrock icon he surely always had the potential to have become..?
just imagine.. ..Lennon might still be alive and rockin' today..
sod lennon and mccartney..
what a amazing team 'Lennon and Fury' would have been...!!!
