John Lennon, that is.  New book.  LOL.  I'm sure he probably had gro-o-own toward the end of his life.  But did he really come so far as this new book alleges?

"If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart, if you're not a conservative at forty you have no brain tumor.”

 Is this a Lennon quote? I'm 54 & am quite thankful that I "have no brain tumor"!!!  Gee, I wonder if John, like his pal Ronnie Raygun, would've been opposed to gun control.   Not a big fan of his later sappy (but not SILLY) love songs output. Maybe Chapman did us a favor after all.

Didn't Lennon write a song called "Happiness is a gun warmed by exercise of the second amendment"?

 And conservatives on the board can be grateful this statement does not imply that all conservatives have brain tumors (even if they're over forty)!

*relief*

Apparently Winston Churchill. It is also quoted in the comment section of the above article.

Too lazy to read AND google! Pfff!   ;-)

I thought the quote was:

"If you're not a liberal at twenty you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're thirty you have not worked hard enough at accumulating wealth and property, and you make me sick. Get out of my office!"

 Didn't see that quote on that link, but did Google it to find that you'd  added the "tumor" part, which clears up a lot... Anyone who prefers the softheaded domesticated latter Lennon to the younger firebrand would likely have voted for the Fat Elvis stamp. I've no use for a non-liberal Lennon... Reagan was the most overrated president of all time & I hope Prince cringes every time he thinks of Ronnie, Talk To Russia...

Move over John Lennon, Mick Jagger a Conservative ?

"BackStage Pass VIP," a new Jagger biography being shopped around for a publisher, exposes the Rolling Stones lead singer as a closet conservative who brought his parents flowers during dinner visits and begged his ex-wife, Bianca, to wear a bra under her see-through shirt during a surprise visit from his mother."

What the hell does buying flowers for your folks & not wanting them to see your wife's tits have to do with being a conservative? Mick is hugely rich & went to London School of Economics & was knighted. But... not a liberal???
