They frequently have "charisma" or are fascinating (because they have bits of humanity missing?) and often have apparently special skills? For example I know one who can, within seconds or minutes, elicit a person's most profound emotional vulnerability. This would be a great gift if he had any empathy, but as he doesn't it is just a mind game and a power trip. It makes other people think however, that he is a fabulous healer. <br /><br />Lennon was a Hunt and a Hoon, but to hear peeps on the radio talking about him you'd think he WAS Jesus. Peace? Peace?!lilithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05011676751221508167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-40443543550362202112010-12-08T17:39:22.911+00:002010-12-08T17:39:22.911+00:00Why didn't the guy shoot Yoko too?

The shouting and yelling for Lennon's killer to be strung up is the same ignorant, illiberal oafishness as that now being levelled at Mr Wikileaks. Chapman was just a mad loser/loner who has faded into an irrelevant nothingness, a wandering ghost alone in his misery. Assange though is an international super-traitor who has betrayed us all - or so our masters would have us believe. You can bet your arse on it that there a thousand other murky secrets for every one that he has exposed. So let's just agree that it's a rough and difficult business sifting through megabytes of cant and hypocrisy, and cut the man a bit of slack. The mob, though, is ever with us, easy to prod them to scream for the blood of the Chapmans and the Assanges.<br /><br />And he is probably safer in the jug in Blighty than anywhere else on the planet. Out on the street, he'll be dead by Christmas.mongoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14173341928744479143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-32927736346346736772010-12-08T11:15:47.250+00:002010-12-08T11:15:47.250+00:00Well....Yes....but he made a lovely cup of tea.Well....Yes....but he made a lovely cup of tea.Rafsanchuffchuffnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6065998731267025499.post-38947457778290171182010-12-08T09:13:35.212+00:002010-12-08T09:13:35.212+00:00Ah, the liberating effect of reading the tabooed t...Ah, the liberating effect of reading the tabooed truth...<br /><br />I wouldn't level the accusation of death knell at Sgt. Pepper, which has some nice tunes on it. No, for me it was Revolver, an utterly unlistenable-to self-indulgence that heralded in the Age of the Concept Album. Never mind the music, feel the concept, dude.PT Barnumnoreply@blogger.com
