Alright.. I happen to have a flux capacitor.... so I went back to see what would have happened if John had lived....
1. In early 1981 he would have sobered up and realized what he had let Yoko do to the band..
2. By mid summer he would have hired a hitman to take her out, and recorded an album of McCartney's tunes as a public apology...
3. By 82 the Beatles would have reunited..
4. By late 82 they would have released their reunion album.... promptly entitled "Not so fast EVH"..
5. That album is single handedly responsible for steering popular music away from 80's hair band butt rock...
6. With no hair bands, there's not GnR.... with no GnR... there's no Grunge... With no Grunge... there's no Candlebox.. with no Candlebox, then no one ever records "Far behind"..... and the world is a MUCH better place....
That's the good side...
The bad side, is that instead of the testosterone driven hair bands.... testosterone free Boy Bands rise to world domination... in order to follow the trend, the majority of American males , not only dress like George Michael, Don Johnson, and Donny Walburg but begin taking Michael Jackson's brand of over the counter hormones to circumvent puberty.... by the early 1990's, this testosterone free American society largely loses the ability to breed... Without young to fuel the Video Game industry, Nintendo turns to weapons development and by the early 2000's releases their highly acclaimed WWiii... This "easy to use" Weapon of Mass Destruction, designed for the "not so trained Terrorist" becomes all the rage on the black market.... with demand out growing supply, it becomes impossible for world governments to control the growth of homegrown terrorist cells... by then, there's little choice left... so... nukes start flying, and Steve Jobs never gets to release the iPhone Nano...
so... you see... John died for all of us... we must never forget him...
Merry Christmas....
