Death of Samantha (song)

 * ... that Yoko Ono's song "Death of Samantha" was inspired by John Lennon's boorish behavior at a party, and seemed to describe the vigil for Lennon's death?

 * Issues:
 * Was Richard Nixon really Lennon's nemesis? The word choice seems a little strong, is this what the source directly says?


 * Will continue later. Chris857 (talk) 18:35, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The source does not discuss Nixon specifically as Lennon's nemesis, just that Lennon was upset about his re-election. The animosity between Nixon and Lennon is not really the subject of this topic, but an issue discussed in many Lennon biographies and such.  Basically, Nixon felt threatened by Lennon's role as a hippie leader, and was trying to have Lennon deported from the U.S. based on his previous drug conviction. "Nemesis" was just my way of putting into context why Nixon's re-election was problematic for Lennon. Rlendog (talk) 02:26, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I reworded the article to avoid the word "nemesis" and explain the situation more explicitly. Hopefully, I did not get too far on a tangent. Rlendog (talk) 18:19, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I like the rewording and small explanation. Chris857 (talk) 04:05, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
