John Lennon was no Mother Teresa? Hey, even Mother Teresa was no Mother Teresa. Do a little research and you will find some well-researched, solid criticism of her and her work. I was a big Lennon fan, too, and remember well the shock of his killing. But it's simply not true that he was humble. Geez, if he were, he and Paul wouldn't have had such intense fights. I think it's appropriate in the case of Lennon and all artists to respect them for their work and talent and appreciate the effect it has on us without elevating them to deities. That only invites the temptation to tear them down. And in fact, that is exactly what happened in the form of a sick mind with a gun.
