Al CrisafulliI think Gerald Early's quote pretty much sums it up.
Two thousand years from now, when history students are studying America, this society is going to be known for three things: the Constitution, jazz music, and baseball.
Granted much of John Lennon's history comes from Britain, but I think the sentiment is the same. In my opinion, for all his great accomplishments, Lennon's contributions as a songwriter, as a celebrity, and as an activist already pale in comparison to others'. But there will only be one Babe Ruth.
