    He was a musician, not a leader.

    He wasn't a leader. The Beatles imploded when Brian Epstein died, simply because neither John nor Paul had the leadership skills to guide the band forward in his absence.

    He may have inspired people but he wasn't a great leader. I don't believe that he was inclined to adopt the kind of structured view of society where those skills really mattered.

    Great musical skills, high intelligence and a lot of charisma.

    Leader? Hmm, I must have missed that while growing up.

    He gave peace a chance. I just recently saw him in the 6th and last reel of Jonas Mekas' Walden, and absolutely loved how Mekas' editing skills complimented the beat to Give Peace a Chance with footage of John and Yoko at a Bed - In in Quebec I think it was. That guy who killed Lennon who was obsessed with The Catcher in the Rye, he may have thought at one time that he was a leader, and when he saw differently, it may have triggered him to doing what ought not to have been done.

    Honestly I have no idea. I think there are people who "grab" you at certain times in your life and apparently he "grabbed" a lot of people all at once. Do I think he was talented? Of course I do. Do I think he was more talented than others of his time? No. But he didn't particularly "grab" me at that time. In retrospect I think he has been valued more and worshipped more than he was when he was alive. Sometimes that happens to people. Happy Tuesday pleasent! :)
