Stevie Wonder Implies That God Killed John Lennon
Then buzz it up

Stevie Wonder has got some mental musings going on behind those sunglasses.
Like some crazy AM radio Alabama preacher, he has announced that he thinks the death of John Lennon might have been something altogether more supernatural than the tragic action of a maniac gunman.
Apparently the whole sorry shebang of Lennon’s murder was "inevitable"… and all because of the ex-Beatle’s lack of faith in religion.
Stevie Wonder (CDs) admits to being devastated by the news of John Lennon’s death 25 years ago, but remains staunch in his opinion that the death could have been the work of some badass holy karma-army:
"After he died I couldn’t stop crying whenever I heard Imagine, but I wasn’t surprised that he’d been shot. The guy said he shot him because he said he didn’t believe in Jesus, and I remember when I heard Imagine, I thought, ‘Somebody is not going to like that.’"
Is this really the case? Is Stevie Wonder really implying that because John Lennon refused to ascribe to a pre-medieval fairy tale that the ‘Good Lord’ came and struck him down? It would seem so.
Somebody should give Stevie David Icke’s number. hecklerspray thinks they’d get along just fine.

You have, I believe, reached the wrong conclusion, Stevie never said he thought God struck down Lennon, read more carefully, and it become obvious that he meant the song Imagine would cause Lennon trouble because of it’s sentiment that we can choose not to feed the illusion. Now that sentiment brings him into alignment with David Icke, not the idea that Jesus is punishing those not practicing the Christian faith. Reread with this in mind.

Anyone else get the impression that this article might have been intended as a teeny-weeny little bit tongue-in-cheek? Wonder’s statement was superbly ambigious and badly-thought-out and therefore ripe for the mickey-taking (although - on a serious note - I do feel there is definitely a hint of something unsettling in his musings). Agree with me? Disagree? Want to verbally disembowel me? Let’s hear it ….

I did not come to the same conclusion as you about Stevie’s comment. To me Stevie merely felt that there may be a few fanatical people who might have a hard time dealing with the concept in “Imagine”.
If you are truly familiar with Stevie and have followed him through the years you would have known better to assume , twist a comment around, and come up with such a misleading accounting of his statement.
Thank you for such a great example of why nobody trusts what they read in the media today.
