What Social and Political Significance did Lennon have in the late 60's and 70's?

A few stands he took:

The Beatles were one of the first bands ever to speak negatively about apartheid in South Africa, refusing to play there. (1964-1965)

Commented on the lessening role of religion in modern life (1966, and his words were quite misunderstood, which caused a firestorm)

Returned his MBE (Member of the British Empire) medal in protest of Vietnam (1969)

Involved himself with radical left-wing politics in America, hanging out with the Yippies (1972)

The Beatles, and Lennon, were not among the most political figures of the era; the Beatles tried not to get too explicit, and Lennon toned down his rhetoric in 1972 when the US began deportation proceedings against him.

People followed him, dressed like him, did the same drugs he did

refused to play an segregated concert plus everyone listened to his music

He started a bunch of hippie bullsh*t and supported communism.

Do your own homework
