Robert F Kennedy's review of JFKU

[Adrian Mack]

Sean Lennon made his feelings clear about this a long time ago. Here's the very sensitive coverage by EOnline.

When Sean Lennon sings, he sounds like John Lennon. But when he talks, he sounds uncannily like...Oliver Stone.

The 22-year-old offspring of Beatle John and Yoko Ono thinks a conspiracy worthy of a three-hour Stone diatribe (see JFK) is behind his father's 1980 shooting death.

"He was a counterculture revolutionary, and the government takes that kind of shit really seriously historically," the Columbia University dropout tells this week's New Yorker.

Adds Sean: "[My father] was dangerous to the government. If he had said, 'Bomb the White House tomorrow,' there would have been 10,000 people who would have done it. These pacifist revolutionaries are historically killed by the government."

The official story fingers Mark David Chapman, noted Catcher in the Rye enthusiast, as the lone assassin in the murder outside Lennon's Manhattan apartment. Sean, who was five years old when his father died, begs to disagree with the official story.

"Anybody who thinks that Mark Chapman was just some crazy guy who killed my dad for his personal interests is insane, I think, or very naive," he says.

Unlike Stone, Sean is not consumed with conspiracy theories. He also tends to a budding music career. His debut record, the Beach Boys-influenced Into the Sun, is building strong buzz.
