John Lennon's House For Sale {Luxist}
Oct 20th 2006 10:09PM I think # 144 says it well...but even if I had the money, I don't think that I would buy the house. The past is the past and none of us was meant to live there forever. The Beatles music was meant for that time and all of life that was going on at that time.
The musical genius will never really fade but anyone who did not live the late 50's and early 60's can never completely appreciate what a difference Beatle music was to what was already popular from the 50's.
Anyway, unless I was a really serious musician and the house had many affects from that era, I would not pay any more money than it would normally draw in the market for that neighborhood.
John Lennon's House For Sale {Luxist}
Oct 15th 2006 5:58PM As for the Lennon house. A very nice house as by the pictures...as for the man...definitely human! A great musician but he had a lot of turmoil inside.
As I remember things... His parents split and when he was young thought his father ran away. His mother died as a pedestrian being run over by drunk police.{ Bobbies?}Then he lived with Aunt Mimi.He wanted to be a rock star to get "chicks"...got Cynthia pregnant and they got married, then the Beatles skyrocketed to fame and fortune. He tried to hide the fact from the public that he was married but an interviewer accidentally spilled the beans. Many fights between John and Cynthia
and it seems that fact was inserted into the song Getting Better..." I used to be cruel to my woman... I beat her and kept her apart from the things that she loved...man I was mean but I'm changing my scene now I'm doing the best that I can..."
The rich and famous life really caught up with him.
He had a lot of problems to overcome, like all of us, but he did put in an effort to get off drugs.." Cold Turkey.." stay away from promiscuity and adulterous relationships...Can't remember the exact title of the song where he wrote about that challenge, and getting out of the world of business and music to be a home dad." Watching the Wheels".
Now that he is gone, I just hope that the loving God that created him and died for him has had mercy upon his soul.." You don't take nothin' with you but your soul!...sticks! XXXX..
