"As us kids all remember, rock and roll was a great big thing, and it was a revolution, and it was freedom."
"Imagine there's no heaven, it's easy if you try. No hell below us, above us only sky. Imagine all the people living for today."
"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return."
"I've got nothing to hide. I'm not ashamed of anything."
About John Lennon (1940-1980)
English singer-songwriter, founding Beatle, and peace activist whose 'Imagine' (1971) became a 20th-century anti-war anthem; assassinated in NYC December 8, 1980. Closely associated with Paul McCartney (Beatles songwriting partner and lifelong foil) and George Harrison (fellow Beatle). For an intellectual contrast, see Richard Nixon, 37th US President — Nixon's 1972-73 administration tried to deport Lennon for his anti-Vietnam-War activism; declassified FBI files later confirmed the political motivation behind the immigration case. The canonical example of state retaliation against a celebrity activist.
