Source: [None] URL Source: http://reaganiterepublicanresistanc ... of-decade-john-lennon-was.html Published: Jun 29, 2011 Author: reaganiterepublican Post Date: 2011-06-29 11:54:41 by no gnu taxes Keywords: None Views: 12971 Comments: 33 "He was a very different person back in 1979 and 80 than he'd been when he wrote Imagine. By 1979 he looked back on that guy and was embarrassed by that guy's naivete." First Alice Cooper... now this John Lennon was a closet Republican, who felt a little embarrassed by his former radicalism, at the time of his death - according to the tragic Beatles star's last personal assistant. Fred Seaman worked alongside the music legend from 1979 to Lennon's death at the end of 1980 and he reveals the star was a Ronald Reagan fan who enjoyed arguing with left-wing radicals who reminded him of his former self. In new documentary Beatles Stories, Seaman tells filmmaker Seth Swirsky Lennon wasn't the peace-loving militant fans thought he was while he was his assistant. He says, "John, basically, made it very clear that if he were an American he would vote for Reagan because he was really sour on (Democrat) Jimmy Carter. "He'd met Reagan back, I think, in the 70s at some sporting event... Reagan was the guy who had ordered the National Guard, I believe, to go after the young (peace) demonstrators in Berkeley, so I think that John maybe forgot about that... He did express support for Reagan, which shocked me... Post Comment   Private Reply   Ignore Thread   Top • Page Up • Full Thread • Page Down • Bottom/Latest #1.

To: war (#14) (Edited) All I remember was breathing through vinegar rags to counteract the Mace and trying to figure out where the classes were to be held off campus, while avoiding the large crowds roaming up and down Bancroft. Oh and walking into the pitch dark White Hall main lecture hall and almost falling through the floor while trying to find the lights only to find out that it had been burned the night before. No markings, no barracades or nothing. The vinegar rags I breathed through had diminished the smell of smoke. mininggold  posted on  2011-06-29   13:17:33 ET  Reply   Trace   Private Reply   #17.

To: mininggold (#17) (Edited) The Shea Stadium concert on August 15, 1965 was record breaking and one of the most famous concert events of its era. It set records for attendance and revenue generation. Promoter Sid Bernstein said, "Over 55,000 people saw the Beatles at Shea Stadium. We took $304,000, the greatest gross ever in the history of show business."[1] This demonstrated that outdoor concerts on a large scale could be successful and profitable. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beatles%27_1965_US_tour This is the concert my sisters attended.
