John Lennon, the Opera?

Our congratulations go out to Ivo Josipovic, the new president of Croatia. Josipovic defeated his opponent in the run-off on a pro-EU, anti-corruption platform. Nothing interesting there. But what is interesting, is this aside by the NYTimes:
"[Josipovic's] friends say he still plans to use his spare time to compose his first opera, about the life of John Lennon. "
How's that for box office gold. What says opera like John Lennon?

As Homer Simpson quipped on the opening night of Planet of the Apes -- The Musical, “I love legitimate theater!” But good luck trying to top that staggering work of genius, President Josipovic.

    Um, one of my favorite Simpsons episodes ever!

    "I hate every ape I see, from Chimpan-A to Chimpanzee."

    "Oh my God! I was wrong. It was Earth all along. Well, they finally made a monkey out of me."

    "Can I play the piano anymore?"
    "Of course you can"
    "Well I couldn't before"
