"Lennon was a gifted songsmith, period. His political philosophy was puerile and as predictable as sightings of peace symbols in Haight-Ashbury during the summer of love. 'Love' is not all the world needs, and whenever I imagine no possessions I see only a sanguinary free-for-all. I'll continue to enjoy Lennon's music. But his political 'philosophy' is to human enlightenment what, say, a rock concert by Milton Friedman would have been to human entertainment."
--Donald Boudreaux, George Mason University economist on the anniversary of John Lennon's death.
