Some people don't understand creativity. It confuses them at best, and usually scares them. They can understand "fastest guitar player" because it's a sport, but they will never understand "nuanced note". Butterflies aren't for them.

Yes, it does seem lonely and sad.

It probably cost more than the car, and the cost pales compared to the royalties of Hey Jude. Someone out there must have this car in their collection, I assume.

I'm a huge John Lennon fan. I definitely don't think he was a saint. Neither did he. He was honest, the first guy in the game to say "fuck it, I'm just going to be honest". One of the reasons we know how horrible he could be is because he told us, in detail, to illustrate that even a bastard like him could grow.

So did John, in what turned out to be his final interviews. His relationship with Julian was just beginning to mend when he was murdered.

Chuck Berry, the guy who recorded women pooping in his restaurant bathrooms and had a whole hidden room off his bedroom with the tapes and projection gear? That arbiter of good taste?

Yup. John said he thought the whole song was about him, but I think it's more complicated than that. He probably did too, really.
