myth-making

[Doug Millison]

"So even if, against all odds, the revisionist view were proved 
correct and aspects of Lennon's biography were shown to be a myth, 
composed by Lennon and maintained by Ms. Ono, what of it? The 
essentials are undeniable: you can come from a suburb of a moribund 
industrial city, develop a talent that captures the imagination of 
the world, use your success to raise issues of transcendent 
importance and make a lasting mark on the culture. Apart from this 
one's tragic ending, 20 years ago tomorrow, myths don't get better 
than that."
