Even his ebullient fascination with the ashrams of India and Maharishi Mahesh Yogi anticipated all that. His intellectual curiosity itself was perhaps admirable to a point, and the author of this piece does his best, I think, to offer a sympathetic view of him, also to a point. But in the end, he's just one more paper thin, etiolated lost soul.Pertinacious Papisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213911570586726075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6312447.post-37356667484835567082015-09-06T22:52:37.141-04:002015-09-06T22:52:37.141-04:00The photograph of Lennon on that album cover ought...The photograph of Lennon on that album cover ought to be put in the dictionary next to joyless.

I think that list has been pretty well engraved into the legacy of our Judeo-Christian history, not to mention into the two stone tablets of Moses.
