John Winston Lennon




Today would have been John Lennon's 69th Birthday. Wow, what to say. There's too much to say about this man to fit in one post. Let's just start with one fact. He..was..AMAZING. Great.




Born in Liverpool on October 9, 1940 to Julia and Alfred Lennon during a German air raid in World War II.




Died in New York City on December 8th, 1980 at 11:07pm in the entrance of the Dakota Apartment Building by Mark David Chapman.




John Lennon was widely known as; one of the four Beatles, singer-songwriter, artist, peace activist, writer, and musician, husband, father, and friend.




*His best words:


Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that 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
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one*
