The Beatles icon John Lennon’s Twitter page has shared rare quotes from the late rock icon about money, and how Lennon claimed he knew nothing about how to handle his money, leaving it to Yoko Ono. He also made a remark about socialism. Lennon making a bold racial remark about the only white musicians he listened to recently resurfaced.
“I cannot do figures and numbers, I’m not good at business, and somebody has to take care of business, whether it was Beatle, Apples, or surviving inflation or whatever you call it. And there’s no way I can do it. I don’t have that talent. So she had to do it.”
He also said, “I worked for money and I wanted to be rich. So what the hell — if that’s a paradox, then I’m a socialist.”
Lennon’s famous drug dealer was recently revealed.
Lennon’s Instagram page has also shared a rare lyrics book photo:
YER BLUES, 1968
Yes, I’m lonely, wanna die
Yes, I’m lonely, wanna die
If I ain’t dead already, ooh
Girl you know the reason why
In the morning, wanna die
In the evening, wanna die
If I ain’t dead already, ooh
Girl you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it’s worth
I’m lonely, wanna die
If I ain’t dead already, ooh
Girl you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eyes
The worm he licks my bone
Feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan’s ‘Mr. Jones’
Lonely, wanna die
If I ain’t dead already, ooh
Girl you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
I die. Yeah, wanna die
If I ain’t dead already, ooh
Girl you know the reason why
‘Yer Blues was written in India, too. The same thing up there trying to reach God and feeling suicidal.’ – JL, 1980
