Lennon Documentary

I just saw "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" tonight at the Tivoli with Brandon. The few times I've gone, I've enjoyed the films that the After Hours Film Society puts on. The bonus feature at the beginning stunk like a diaper, but I found the Lennon documentary to be very engaging and provocative. I didn't know a lot about John Lennon before seeing the film. But the film helped bring me into a pivotal era and socio-politcal climate that I've always been fascinated in. I'm not sure I'll ever become a Beatles fan, but the film makes it difficult to not be a John Lennon fan.

    paraphrasing Dennis Leary, i don't get it: John Lennon takes six bullets to the chest, Yoko is standing right next to him and not one bullet...please God, explain that one to me
