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).

The canonical example of state retaliation against a celebrity activist.
