I have permission to distribute an excerpt from the new book, "The Cynical Idealist: A Spiritual Biography of John Lennon," by author and artist Gary Tillery (Quest Books).
In the book, Tillery credits Lennon with making significant contributions to many modern spiritual movements, including men's liberation, guided meditation ("Imagine"), and global peace.
An excerpt from the book ponders, What would John Lennon be like today? You can read the excerpt at the link above. Then tell us, where do you think John Lennon would stand on the issues of today, such as Afghanistan or health care reform?
