More from John Lennon
"I'm sick of all these people talking about peace and love. If you want peace and love, go out and get it."
"The price of fame is a lonely life."
"We were all in a band, and that was it. We were like a gang."
"You can say I said jokingly, 'He didn't quit, I sacked him!'"
"I don't like to be told what to do. I like to do what I want to do."
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.
