This day in history: John Lennon made headlines on this day in 1974 after an incident at the Troubadour Club, LA. Lennon was turned out for being unruly.
Lennon may have been talented and the public face for worldwide peace and love, but he had a dark side as well. "...the man behind warmhearted classics like 'Imagine' was an entirely different person behind the scenes. John Lennon's dark side often took the form of adultery, drugs, and even spousal aggression. The man who is thought of as an icon for the positive energy of the 1960s was reportedly cruel and callous to those he loved the most." Read more here.
According to Patton Oswalt, Lennon was: "A self-obssessed, calculating, anorexic family-abandoner who slagged his friends, chased whatever the current zeitgeist was, and reportedly made everyone around him miserable. But, like Lucifer, he managed to pull off one of the greatest tricks in the history of rock 'n' roll -- convincing everyone that Paul McCartney was the a**hole, and that he was just a humble, peace-loving, fame-and-money-shunning second-coming of Christ that the world just didn't understand."
