More from John Lennon
"The women are very important too, we can't have a revolution that doesn't involve and liberate women. It's so subtle the way you're taught male superiority."
"The thing is, we're all part of the same thing. We're all part of God. We're all part of the universe. We're all part of everything."
"Show me a man who isn't a slave and I'll show you a man who doesn't exist."
"Women should be obscene and not heard."
"As us kids all remember, rock and roll was a great big thing, and it was a revolution, and it was freedom."
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.
