More from John Lennon
"We're more popular than Jesus now; I don't know what will go first — rock 'n' roll or Christianity."
"Ritual is important. The wedding ceremony is a ritual that is very important. It's a statement."
"It's better to fade away like an old soldier than to burn out like an old rock star."
"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope someday you'll join us, and the world will be as one."
"It's all happening now. It's not going to happen in the future."
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.
