Lennon's music was on a downhill slide, him and Yoko screaming and wailing together like cats having sex wasn't music. Lennon and McCartney together were genius, apart they were a bit shit.

It's always sad when someone's life is taken away , esp intentionally, but I won't be mourning for the loss of that annoying hippy kak he produced. Though later in his non-existant life he might have sold out and done some good stuff, or just continued being a twat and faded away in has-been oblivion.
