Well, pretty nearly ANY way of dying is likely going to suck. Some ways suck a lot worse than others. Spending your last five minutes shot and bleeding sucks, but RJ gets it. John got it pretty quick. Could have been worse. No vendetta particularly. Yoko does not especially perturb me, but I tend to find her pretty disreputable. I find THIS little move particularly contemptible.

I think Al is saying that it's better to go out with a bang than a whimper...and it's better to die painfully in five minutes than five years...

Al, this part has to be a joke: I think that the circumstances of his death weren't that bad. It's unfortunate that he got cut short, but from HIS point of view, it wasn't really that bad a way to go. How would you like to spend the last few minutes of your life choking up blood in the back of a police car. I wonder if he thought of his wife, his children... And what is your neverending vendetta aginst Yoko all about? If Lennon loved her, which he obviously did, who are we to jump on her? What exactly has she done wrong? But his 1963 quote was pretty funny. He had a lot of good ones. His songs were usually pretty good, too.
