We could be here all day arguing about what a genius is.
I agree Lennon was in his hey day (63 to 67, with another little flash in the early 70’s) like Mozart etc an exceptionally good songwriter. Probably one of the greatest of his day.

I live in Rowayton, Connecticut. It’s a tiny town, around 4,500 people, that sits on Long Island Sound roughly 50 miles up from New York City. Rowayton is famous for… well, it’s not famous really. It’s a sleepy little place that has managed, by applying itself as little as possible, to remain almost entirely obscure.
