More from John Lennon
"We're not disinterested in politics. It's just that politicians are disinteresting."
"I'm just a human being who has a lot of thoughts and feelings."
"I'm not going to change the world. I'm just going to change me."
"I'm a very complicated person, you know."
"My father and mother split and I never saw my father until I was 20, nor did I see much more of my mother."
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.
