Dude, although it may seem that way now, you're a freak with blinders on that knows nothing about history.
To this day, many Bible-thumpers in the South still regard The Beatles as The Devil.
It is a fact that the U.S. government (LBJ, Nixon admins) wanted him out of the U.S. and mounted several campaigns to accomplish that goal. Although Lennon was hated by many, he was also beloved by many people of considerable intelligence and he did have quite a bit of political influence. He had also demonstrated a propensity for being fairly politically vocal during his time living in the United States.
