JOHN LENNON NOT A COMMUNIST THREAT -- WHAT A RELIEF!

From today's Washington Post:

Secret FBI papers revealed that John Lennon was ruled out as a communist threat to the United States because he was always stoned, London's Evening Standard reported yesterday.

Documents show that the FBI suspected that the ex-Beatle was the head of revolutionaries planning to hijack a 1972 Republican conference, and kept him under close watch at first. But Lennon's abuse of heroin, cocaine and marijuana in the early 1970s eventually ruled him out of FBI investigations. An agent concluded that Lennon "appears to be radically oriented" but "does not give the impression he is a true revolutionist, since he is constantly under the influence of narcotics."

Marilyn Monroe , Lucille Ball and Albert Einstein were also among the suspected communists tracked by the FBI from the 1950s to 1970s.

I still have my worries about Jonathon.
