Bang, bang.

So I guess 30 years ago, Mark Chapman did the world a favor and shot John Lennon.
No tears were shed here.
I never could really get worked up about this event because, first of all, I never cared for the Beatles, and secondly, John Lennon was, in my estimation, a dirty commie hippie who conned the world into paying him bazillions of dollars to live the life fantastic while extolling the beauties of collectivism and all that bullshit to us benighted proles. (On the other hand, I figure being married to Yoko was punishment, but not nearly punishment enough.)
Anyway, fuck him and every dirty commie hippie like him, worldwide and forever. He is as much of a faux hero as Che Guevara. The world is better off without both of them.
