Why does John Lennon get so much reverence in the counter culture. I just that he and another Beatle once mugged someone at gun point for the fun of it.

Doesn't sound like a very friendly thing to do. I was mugged once at gun point and I thought that was the night I was going to die.

Lennon was just keepin' it real. He was the original gangsta.

Any sources to back up that claim? Sounds like a fun read.

I have a dvd about Pete Best... and they mention mugging somebody... it also tells a story about pissing off a church onto a nun... but I don't remember which Beatles took part in either act

I think a big part of it was that he was apart of the most popular and arguably greatest band in the world, and he spoke freely and fondly of acid - I'm sure that was the convincing factor for people who weren't necessarily your all out free-spiritted flowers-in-the-hair types to go ahead and try acid?

Paul McCartney owned him at songwriting, but John was more full of himself, and I think people latch on to that without thinking about it.
He did a lot of artsy stuff basically for the sake of being artsy, with a tad of meaning behind it. People buy into that stuff too.
Basically in the environment he was living he convinced himself he must be a genious, but due to that descicion was prolly a little more on the mad side.
