BORN: October 9, 1940, Liverpool, England DIED: December 8, 1980, New York, NY John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 in Liverpool, England. When he was four years old, his parents separated and he ended up living with his Aunt Mimi. John's father was a merchant seaman and John did not see a lot of his father when he was small. As a child, John was a prankster and he enjoyed getting in trouble. As a boy and young adult, John enjoyed drawing grotesque figures and cripples. One of the reasons for his obsession with cripples and deformities was because of the Death of his Mother Julia. The John's school master thought that John could go to an art school for college, since he did not get good grades in school, but had artistic talent. He made it to art school, a More...

BUT paul put all of his life in time onto it. John didnt at all in fact music was very much on the side. just listen to his song "Watching the Wheels" and John is deff more popular and than paul John and Paul friends | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song How Do You Sleep? performed by John Lennon Your all fighting a battle that can never be won John Lennon and Paul McCarntney were both amazing artisits get over it they were also both great friends and had a falling out like people do sometimes but they got over it why can;t you. Their music was different and thats what made the beatles music so amazing the compromise between the two. John Lennon is a true inspiration | Reviewer: Gwen ------ About artist/band John Lennon I'm only 15 and i've grown up on music from John and the other Beatles since my dad is a big Beatle fan and John is his favorite, when I was a baby my dad would sing John Lennon and or Beatle songs all the time to me and I would love them, I still do love listening to John now. John inspires me a whole lot by the way he tried to bring peace the world, it's sad on how he had died. I wish I could find away to go back in time and save John from being shot, but sadly it hasn't been mastered yet to go back in time. John will forever live in are hearts and NEVER be forgotten! He is the greatest song writer of all time! POP,S SUPER SENSATION JOHAN LENNON | Reviewer: DILBAG RAI ------ About artist/band John Lennon The Pop,s Super Sensation John Lennon who left this world at the age of forty only, a key member of The Beatles, only adds poignancy to the songs he wrote, the music he and his partners made.The origin of the world fame Beatle song " Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds” which was inspired by a picture Lennon’s son, Julian, had brought home from school telling his dad “That’s Lucy in the sky with diamonds and have rightly commented that really there are moments when events almost overwhelm the music as Lennon Senior turned his son’s comment into a song that stole a million hearts away and those who chose to delve deep into the origins of The Beatles’ music and Lennon’s lyrics have wondered often if Lucy in the sky with diamonds referred to LSD, as the lyrics are replete with psychedelic images: “tangerine trees and marmalade skies”, “rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies”, “plasticine porters with looking glass ties”, and so on. A child’s drawing and drug-induced visions came together in a milestone song proving that child is the father of man. John Lennon had created the Beatles and with Paul, Ringo and George and they made great music together.He will always be remembered as a Spirited Messenger with an Eternal Message who expressed in the lyrics to some of the songs he wrote, after the Beatles visited Maharishi Mahesh Yogi at his ashram in India in February, 1968. The message is included in at least five songs-" Revolution " Two Minutes Silence " "Working Class Hero" " Imagine " "Mind Games" and Watching the Wheels ".These songs took the music world with a storm. His message is the timeless message of all mystics and spiritually enlightened ones, expressed most beautifully in the ancient Eastern wisdom of the Upanishads: We are all enlightened, just we have forgotten it. Be aware of who and what you are. To help remember, go within (e.g., using techniques of meditation to go beyond the mind) and thereby directly, immediately experience the innermost center of being, the nondual oneness,where one can experience inner peace, love, freedom, truth, bliss, or whatever name is preferred for the existential experience of the nameless unknowable mystery.John Lennon was no mystic, but he was a poet. John advocated meditation (meditation techniques as well as the meditative state of consciousness). The ultimate state of consciousness known as spiritual enlightenment cannot be reached by artificial,temporary means such as drugs. John had written all the songs of his last album "Double Fantasy" in a period of 3 weeks which was recorded and released in 1980. When John was singing and writing this album, he was visualizing everybody in his age group. Unfortunately, John was shot in front of his apartment complex in New York while he was in the process of releasing another album "Milk and Honey". John died of the age of 40 in the Roosevelt Hospital on December 8, 1980, after receiving multiple gun shot in the back.The Double Fantasy album is a great album, which contain one ironic title songs "Just like starting over" now after John's death. John was not a follower, but a leader and was always fighting for people's right. He was a person that cared for other people and expresses himself by making different political statements. John was not only a great music writer, but also an excellent pop artist and did a lot in the Rock and Roll music world. John can not and will never be replaced by anybody. His songs will live forever in all our hearts and minds. Although his physical presence is no longer with us, his memory and music will live on touching many hearts. John can not and will never be replaced by anybody. His songs will live forever in all our hearts and minds. Just Give Peace a Chance and lets work together to a great and much better world which is the utmost need of the day. Johan Lennon | Reviewer: DILBAG RAI ------ About artist/band John Lennon NOT A LONELY HEART The author is dead, so is the songster. But the words live, as does the music. The tragic end of John Lennon, a key member of The Beatles, only adds poignancy to the songs he wrote, the music he and his partners made. But there are moments when events almost overwhelm the music. Lovers of the music The Beatles created know that the song, “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds”, in the famous LP, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, was inspired by a picture Lennon’s son, Julian, had brought home from school. He told his dad, “That’s Lucy in the sky with diamonds”. Lucy was his friend in school. Lennon Senior turned his son’s comment into a song that stole a million hearts away. Those who chose to delve deep into the origins of The Beatles’ music and Lennon’s lyrics have wondered often if Lucy in the sky with diamonds referred to LSD, as the lyrics are replete with psychedelic images: “tangerine trees and marmalade skies”, “rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies”, “plasticine porters with looking glass ties”, and so on. A child’s drawing and drug-induced visions came together in a milestone song. But when Julian Lennon got in touch with Lucy Vodden, his schoolmate, after 40 years, the song acquired a different dimension that transcends its original inspiration. Lucy today is 46 years old and is stricken by lupus, a chronic disease that affects the body’s immune system and gets it to attack the body’s own tissues. Julian, who lives in France, sent his friend flowers and rekindled their childhood friendship. He offered to help her cope with her illness. Lucy may no longer be in the sky, climbing in the back with her head in the clouds, but she has got a friend who will be with her even when she is sixty-four. The human angle — important and touching though it is — aside, these developments only reiterate how great music comes back with different meanings. Lucy can now “get by with a little help from her friend(s)”. The quoted words hark back to another song from the Sgt. Pepper’s album. That song too, legend has it, has allusions to marijuana: “I get high with a little help from my friends.” (The album was released in June 1967, and so it is not surprising at all that it has references to drugs.) While the world, since the LP hit the charts, has been talking about the space between people, two human beings have come together, obliterating the distance age had created, through a piece of music that in its time made a piece of history. This coming together of Lucy and Julian is perhaps the best tribute that could ever have been paid to the music that The Beatles made. It is testimony too, if one were needed, to the power of music. Music connects people, be it the music of Bach or The Beatles. There may be a diamond in the sky, whatever the cynics say. Imagine | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song How Do You Sleep? performed by John Lennon If you ever watch the movie "Imagine" which is a documentary of john and yoko, John says that he thought it was about Paul and then he realized that it was somewhat about himself...he also goes on to say that he and Paul are okay. And in my opinion, both people are equally AMAZING! Just a question | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song How Do You Sleep? performed by John Lennon Being more popular makes you a better artist??? Please, tell me how many #1 hits did Pink Floyd have... and please, please, tell me they were not awesome artists... John is a hundred, a thousend times bigger than Paul... Not only as an artist, as a musician, as a composer, but as a person... Greetings from Argentina McCartney is Lord | Reviewer: Joe ------ About the song How Do You Sleep? performed by John Lennon All you idiots that think Lennon was better....look at the numbers...more McCartney Beatle Songs went #1 and more McCartney Solo work went #1...after the beatles Paul had 9 #1 Albums and 7 #1 hit songs...Lennon can't stand up to that...all the best Beatles work was Paul..."Sgt. Pepper" "yesterday" "hey jude"(which lennon admidted to having no involvment in) "Let it be"(widely regarded the greatest song of all time) "Long and winding road" "get back" "can't buy me love" "Hello, Goodbye" "I saw her standing there"....I can go on and on...Paul is The Beatle Warlord... Love is truly real... | Reviewer: johnnylennon ------ About the song Love performed by John Lennon Johnny has done it agian. i find this piece one of his greatest. he uses only an acoustic and piano. one of my favourites. its truly a masterpiece. he out-does himself everytime. and he did it agian. Native Americans | Reviewer: John ------ About the song Imagine performed by John Lennon The native Americans believed in peace. Most of them did not fight when the Europeans came to take their land. They avoided conflict and had great respect for all living things, including the land we live in now. Imagine if the warriors from the religious colonists to those looking to expand their lands would have been like NatAmer John Lennon | Reviewer: Bronwen ------ About the song Working Class Hero performed by John Lennon The song in my opinion gives out a true impression of the government and the world as it collapses. When John sings: 'They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool' it can be applied to todays measure - since teachers and parents both hit you with sarcastic comments and the weight of the world comes slamming down onto your shoulders at a young age. I find the original much more biting than the new Green day cover. John Lennon | Reviewer: BJ Murphy ------ About the song Imagine performed by John Lennon Look, John believed in socialism. Which, once all nations would go to socialism, then people could achieve real communism. Peace & prosperity. That was the point of communism. But, then there were people that wanted to be impatient & start controlling people & how they lived. Yes, he's promoting socialism. Who cares. What matters is that what he wants is what we all want. And that is peace! Paul is embarassing | Reviewer: Voodoo GodZ ------ About the song How Do You Sleep? performed by John Lennon Everything abut the Beatles was good - except the embarrassing stupid dull Paul McCartney lyrics. Rocky racoon, Honey Pie etc. - that´s so awfully dumb I can´t listen to that crap. How can any one write this and still want to be seen as a genius? To:anarchist | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Imagine performed by John Lennon if u dont like the wars and shti why dotn u just actully do something eh, im tired of all these hippy-dippy "loving everybody" people. and if "anarchys" are soo great u should maybe go to a war torn country in africa where ppl are killed cuz theres no proper military protecting the children and adults who have dont nothing wrong and see what u think after that. "if u dont stand behind your troops, fell FREE to stand infront" God | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song God performed by John Lennon To me this song is don't saying give to much power in each of these thing in your individual life. It boils down to your essence and being true to that. It is not saying that God or anything doesn't exist, it just says that you must believe in yourself because your thoughts and actions are all you can control. Truly Amazing | Reviewer: aeva ------ About the song Imagine performed by John Lennon So what if he was promoting a communist ideology? I bet the people who are typing that don't actually understand what communism promotes. Ever read the manifesto? Communism is an amazing IDEA. But humans just don't have the capabilities of seeing it to reality. We're not that selfless. As a few have mentioned before, the music isn't mind-boggling. He's done some way better things, although it still is a beautiful song. The point is the message. Somebody (I forget the username) mentioned that Lennon was proposing that we take away everything that has meaning to people. At least for me, and I'm pretty sure that Lennon would agree, if there's love and harmony between all people, what more do we need? Wake up PEOPLE | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Working Class Hero performed by John Lennon John Lennon Was way ahead of our time. Its as if he was a soothsayer of sorts. I remember when he was shot. What was it 6 shots? With Yoko standing next to him? It was clearly a hit or assassin. I also remember when the Feds tried to deport him. He in his LYRICS was sending and telling us a message for today. Look around you, at the headlines and at yourself and tell me that this is what we are and what John wrote about. Were all fucking peasants as far as he could see. War or Peace | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Serve Yourself performed by John Lennon Look at it this way... inside of us we have the voice of war or the voice of peace. Everyone does. It doesn't matter what religion, spirituality or belief system. We either follow the call of peace or the call of war. It doesn't matter who we are, the highest of the highs or the lowest of the lows, we each follow what calls more loudly to us. John Lennon and God | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Grow Old With Me performed by John Lennon There are terrible rummors about Lennon's atheistm. Nonsense! Lennon was not atheist, but he always wanted to find true God. Read lyrics of this song, read lyrics of Lennon's another song "Help Me to Help Myself" where John prays to Lord. Maybe he said some words against religion in his youth, but I think John finally find God at the dawn of his short life. We miss U, I miss U, i miss your songs, your wol | Reviewer: Andrea ------ About artist/band John Lennon i miss u John... your life was very dificult, but i hope that wherever you are, you are better than here in the earth...when the life is every day too dificult for everybody...the dead is one answer............ if there is a place where we have real happiness n_n You could review the artist/band John Lennon in Biography page You could review John Lennon album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review John Lennon song by clicking the song which you like  Download "John Lennon" Music | |
