Hello everyone.
I'm not sure if this has been discussed here, yet or not, so if it has, please forgive me.
I just got this book called 'The Lennon Prophecy' by Joseph Niezgoda and began reading it last night and.. to be honest, it's really bothering me. The author claims to be a life-long Beatles fan, so how he can feel this way is beyond me, yet I will read the book to find out how and why he came to this conclusion. Here, I provide you good folks with the write up from the back cover so you may judge for yourself:
"Did John Lennon sell his soul? While many Beatles fans are well-versed in the infamous "Paul is dead" clues, "The Lennon Prophecy" offers a new interpretation of the hidden messages and symbols that have ornamented Beatles mythology for years. The book examines the Beatles' recordings, album artwork and other oral and written histories and theorizes that John Lennon's murder may have been eerily foretold. following a fascinating and unique trail of sorcery, mysticism, numerology, backwards masking, anagrams, and literary and theological writings, this book presents the theory that John Lennon may have sold his soul in order to achieve international fame and fortune and subsequently paid the ultimate price for his success."
In no way do I believe for a moment that John would be stupid enough to sell his soul. I just thought it would make for a good read and wanted someone to talk to about it, as no one I know even likes the Beatles. Hard to believe, isn't it?
