Go rent ‘The U.S. vs. John Lennon,’ it is an eye opener. I really enjoyed it and learned quite a bit. Very interesting. (Did you know that the U.S. government deported John Lennon in 1972 for what the Strom Thurmond letter requesting his deportation phrased, “…if John Lennon’s visa were revoked, it would serve as a ‘strategic countermeasure.‘”???)
