"I'm just a guy who writes songs."
"I don't mind if you don't like my music. I don't mind if you don't like me. But I do mind if you don't like peace."
"That is one of the main reasons the Beatles ended. I can't speak for George, but I pretty damn well know we got fed up of being sidemen for Paul."
"I don't mind if you think I'm stupid, I don't mind if you think I'm foolish, I don't mind if you think I'm a dreamer. All I ask is that you imagine."
"It's all in the mind, you know."
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.
