What happened to peace and love, John? | Reviewer: Curt Emich | 9/7/06
The hostility in the lyrics to this song are yet one more example of how ridiculous it is for so many people to cannonize John Lennon as some sort of Rock 'n' Roll saint and champion of peace. Many of the rhymes are forced and the phrasing awkward. The only stength in the lyrics is that they effectively communicate insults to Paul McCartney. The is no ambiguity about that. It's certainly conceivable that it pissed Paul off, and that, of course, is the whole purpose of the song.
The most salient aspect of my reaction to the song is that I don't have any desire to hear it. I have grown weary of being perpetually disappointed by his post-Beatles work. Time has vindicated McCartney as the musical greater of the two, and if Mr. Lennon were still alive and had a modicum of humility (hard to do when you have a messaiah complex) he would sit up straight and eat crowe.
