Apparently ol' John couldn't "imagine" life with no possessions. His net worth was around $200 million ($620 million in today's money) before he was murdered. It wouldn't surprise me if he carried a picture of chairman Mao.
I just love it when rich people tell me I don't need anything. Like when Bono sang that "what you don't have you don't need it now", or when Bradley Nowell told everyone to "take a tip from me, take all of your money, give it all to charity". Those are easy things to say when you don't want for anything.
I much prefer Daniel Johns' take: "You say that money, isn't everything, But I'd like to see you live without it".
Apologies for the hijack - but this is [obviously] a bit of a sore spot with me.
