In which the Curmudgeons muse about the greatness of the rawest, realest Beatle here in the age of cancel culture. Lennon's very public journey from depressive edginess to middle-aged wisdom was inspiring and remains fascinating to study.
First, we analyze how the tension between Lennon and Paul McCartney defined The Beatles' legacy. Then we trace the maturation Lennon evidenced on tape throughout his 30s--how what began as "the dream is over" ended as "I really love to watch them roll."
