I just watched that documentary and I learned quite a bit from it. Lennon was considered such a threat by the establishment in America at the time that he was monitored by the F.B.I. We're talking wire taps and being followed and evidence that the harassment came all the way from Nixon. They finally found a weakness with Lennon and then tried to have him deported. I didn't know about that stuff until I watched the film. Lennon was also friends with Bobby Seale and Abbie Hoffman.
Anyway, I won't give too much of it away just in case some of you who are younger want to check it out. I was born in '72 and while I grew up listening to the Beatles because of my parents, I didn't know about that other stuff that happened to Lennon. Check it out. I found the video at Blockbuster.
