More from John Lennon
"I used to be cruel to my woman. I beat her and kept her from the things that she loved. Man, I was mean, but I'm changing my scene and I'm doing the best that I can."
"You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows."
"I'm a working-class hero."
"When you do something beautiful and nobody notices, do not be sad. For the sun every morning is a beautiful spectacle and yet most of the audience still sleeps."
"Part of me suspects that I'm a loser, and the other part of me thinks I'm God Almighty."
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.
