John Lennon would be 70 today

[Dawn Meredith]

I believe there was more to Lennon's assassination than a "lone nut." I've always been intrigued by the incredible coincidence of Lennon's last photograph being of him autographing a copy of his new album for the patient, apparent fan Mark David Chapman.

Paul Krassner, who knew Lennon well, assured me in an email years ago that the ex-Beatle, like Paul McCartney, was very interested in the JFK assassination. Although I used to detest the influence Yoko had on Lennon's life and music, she is evidently quite a pro-conspiracy person herself. A year or so ago, I read an online piece about her favorite books, and they were all pro-conspiracy, including JFK and the Unspeakable.

Yes, she said she stayed up all night reading it, crying. And that everyone should read it.
