    I don't think John was correct about everything, such as we can just come together and have peace, but I love how he was brave enough to say this. Everyone would just say to this, "oh, he's just trying to be a different figure." Or "he isn't being real, he's just trying to influence everyone in a different way." It's very possible he was killed by these maniacs. He said it himself, "I'm liable to be put away for saying this." You can literally tell in plain day, that the government is the issue for what people nowadays enjoy, eat, drink, and how they act, and they are the cause of inflation and much more. In conclusion, John Lennon had the right idea about the government. R.I.P.
