This isn't accurate!

[edit]

The article reads, 'Goldman's next biography was about John Lennon. In the book, Goldman made many controversial allegations, among them the charge that Lennon had a homosexual relationship with The Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, and that he may have had something to do with the untimely death of his friend Stuart Sutcliffe, an early member of The Beatles. Yoko Ono was portrayed in an even worse light, and Goldman alleged that the two carried on constant affairs throughout their marriage.' The Lives of John Lennon does not say that Lennon and Epstein had a homosexual relationship; it says, if I remember correctly, that they had sex on one occasion. This isn't a "relationship" by most people's standards. Furthermore, there appears to be an anti-gay bias here, since this could be read as implying that a homosexual relationship would have been a a bad thing.

The biased paragraphs were primarily written by Ted Wilkes alias multiple hardbanned User:DW. See [1]. Onefortyone (talk) 21:52, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

pop culture references

[edit]

There was a pretty funny Saturday Night Live skit about Goldman. It shows him as the trombone player for the Beatles....he has a trombone solo in the middle of the song and the whole crowd stops dancing when he plays. After the show, Elvis comes in and tells the other Beatles that they should dump him because he's ruining their band. They kick him out of the band and that's the reason he goes on to write negatively about them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.148.125 (talk) 09:49, 8 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lennybruce.org as a source

[edit]

I don't see how https://lennybruce.org/about/ is reliable, even if it were not a copy of Lenny Bruce. Any idea who owns the domain and runs the website? --Hipal (talk) 16:50, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It states that it is run/approved by his daughter that would seem to be legitimate but maybe not for you? Maravelous (talk) 23:55, 5 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Again, it's a copy of Lenny Bruce, right? --Hipal (talk) 02:29, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
