Lennon is actually working on a new album and playing to an adoring public on another planet. He's also glad to be free from Yoko at last.

As long as you don't expect tax exemptions, or influence over legislation because of it - you can make up whatever sh*t you like. Same with scientific theories - nobody is forcing you to pray to the String, or Drake equation, or taking away your liberties because of those theoretical concepts - are they?
On the other hand - I'm supposed to adjust my life-style, because dumb people believe their imaginary friend wants me to.
