John Lennon is not trumped by... this... this... abomination.

Well, I've never been one to shy away from blasphemy, but I see your point. The original John Lennon was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. I was also much more innocent then, and I think that song fit me well. Today, however, I am a little more jaded and this version seems to fit our times more then the optimistic revolutionary spirit of the late 60s. It is supposed to be a depressing and creepy version of this song.

Thanks for the info.

"The Holy Mountain" was a surrealist film from the 70's that was partly funded by John Lennon and Yoko Ono and single handedly started the midnight movie phenomenon in the United States. The trailer really isn't the best representation of the movie, but a lot of the unbelievable imagery in it still carries over.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

This comment from the youtube post is interesting:

peepff: The legend says that the promoters got in touch with John Lennon and asked if he could deliver the Beatles. He said no, but he'd come with the Plastic Ono Band, and they refused!! F-ing unreal; if true, Chip Monck should be beaten with a stick.

so, the user profile published posts INCLUDES posts to sift talk, right?

and the member ranking page doesn't?

therefore, me= wrong, siftbot = right

You all need to get off jimmy kimmel's fat nuts. I don't know how he can be so out of touch with the discussion considering his show is all about celebrities and occasionally internet material, but saying something like, "I don't know why anyone would purchase advertising space off a website" appraises his expertise on the subject. Emily Gould seems to be a lot more aware of the legal ramifications and mentions that celebrities are not entitled to the same degree of privacy as non-celebrities. Tack on the fact that anyone can upload a cellphone video of you onto youtube whenever they feel like it, or say anything about you personally that they want and it should come as no surprise that this tool exists. Fat fuck Kimmel, not an actual comedian, is butt-hurt that he was said to be noticeably intoxicated, when considering his attitude, it's not that far-fetched he is intoxicated at any given point. I guess he's so insecure that he needs the gawker audience's approval. Maybe the big baby should sue the weekly world news for convincing his children that a bat-boy will eat them.

Let's not forget about this small, and shrinking, thing called freedom of speech, or the fact that celebrities know the risks (and rewards) of being in the public eye. Just because of the remote possibility that there is a mentally unstable individual who could go to every sighting of a specific celebrity that they have a grudge against and eventually one will be close enough that they could find that celebrity and of their own will commit a crime, you call her immoral and without conscience? I'm sorry, this service is not provided just by her but by the thousands of people who submit sightings, and if one crazy nut-job works up the motivation to do some harm to a celebrity, they would probably find a way to do it with or without the 'Gawker Stalker.' No, wait, you scared little children were right, John Lennon was killed by gawker.

Grow up, get a brain, re-evaluate your laundry list of 'fundamental rights' which you retarded hypocrites regularly violate and when you finally see the light, go towards it so we don't have to deal with you anymore.

Sadly, no one mentioned all the celebrities who have already been murdered, like John Lennon. They let her off the hook on the real time thing. If a given beautiful actress is spotted going into a theater to see a particular film, that and it gets posted in 15 minutes, that give John Q. Stalker more than an hour to get there and find a good spot.

This girl is a drooling idiot. She obviously has not a clue what the word "journalism" or any concept of fundamental rights.

'Cry baby Cry' is a great John Lennon song on the White Album. Submitted for the Lennon v. McCartney Battle in the KidSift.

Props to Independence, Missouri for doing their part to halt the spread early on.

"Imagine no religion. It's easy if you try." - John Lennon

From the movie "Pleasentville". This video was also directed by Apple's then-boyfrien Paul Thomas Anderson. Also check out the cameo of John C. Reilly at the end of the video stealing records out of the juke-box.

This has to be one of my favorite Beatles covers. Apple nails this one. Also, the tags should be changed from just John Lennon to The Beatles as this was a Beatles song and not a solo Lennon song...even though Lennon wrote and preformed it by himself on "Let it Be", it's still a Beatles song.

Look at John Lennon and his pelvis dipping moves. Hot hot!

I'm laughing so hard it's hard to breathe.

Wait a minute, wasn't this made for the Beatles Anthology? If I recall correctly these were just takes of songs that they never completed as a group that got the final mix laid down and published. Okay I just checked Wiki:

"All of the then-surviving Beatles members filmed new interviews to add to older interviews with John Lennon, who was murdered by Mark David Chapman in 1980. The first episode ended with a promotional video for the brand new Beatles track, "Free as a Bird", created from an archive Lennon recording supplied by his widow Yoko Ono."
