12/08/2005: John Lennon, conservative?!?
Via Scott Lemieux, here's the most self-deceived music criticism you'll ever read -- and that's saying something -- in which the NRO's Ned Rice claims that John Lennon's leftism was "ambiguous." I'm not kidding:
But what of that series of contradictions known as John Lennon's personal politics? Would Lennon today be considered a conservative, a liberal, or more of an Arnold Schwarzenegger type? The answer might surprise you, especially given John's place on the (almost certainly mythical) Nixon's Enemies List.
What's next? Reading Arthur Danto in The Nation arguing that Wango Tango is actually a plea for universal health care?
