this is a response to definitions # 16 and 17 for john lennon.
you are an idiot and im sorry your posts were admitted.
John Lennon was one of the most amazing people alive ever, not just because of his amazing ability to write music, but because of his views on the world (so true, listen to imagine, im being a stereotype but jeez) Lennon promoted peace, and everyones right to do what they wanted to do, and speak freely. he had some great ideas on how people should try and make the world a better place (which still aint happening sorry to say) so i dont know where you two get off saying this stuff about him of all people, for invalid reasons...Lennons music wasnt about selling out and being popular, it was about the message if anything, buy the very best of john lennon and dont just listen to it on your way to work while you chug back a mocha latte frappe swankaccino from starbucks, actually listen to it and listen to the lyrics, and see if u can get it, and he wasnt the personification of love and peace or whatever it was, he was a guy who (oh god forbid) wanted open love, peace, and he sang about his ideas, and anything else he felt like, and it was great, so before you go off slamming great people and saying he is only loved because he was murdered, why dont you look at him a bit more before the murder and appreciate it. and as for his comment regarding the beatles being bigger than jesus, john lennon had a sense of humor, he wasnt wound uptight enough to make a big deal out of everything, and who knew if christianity would have lived, he was just speculating.
but hey, im all for opinions, so if you wanna go on hating good people, calling them self righteous arse holes, no ones stopping you.
peace.

John Lennon, Rock Musician / Songwriter
Born: 9 October 1940
Birthplace: Liverpool, England
Died: 8 December 1980 (shot to death)
Best Known As: One of The Beatles
As half of The Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were one of the most successful songwriting teams of the century. Together they wrote dozens of hit tunes, ranging from "Help!" and "Ticket to Ride" to "Penny Lane" and "Let It Be." Lennon's romance with Yoko Ono was a major influence on his post-Beatles career, and he collaborated with her on everything from the modern pop hymn "Imagine" to avant-garde noise and poetry. The Beatles broke up in 1970, and Lennon followed with a solo career marked by uneven recordings and public pleas for world peace. After a reclusive five years as a family man, Lennon released an album with Yoko in 1980, Double Fantasy. As their new song "Just Like Starting Over" was reaching the top of the charts, Lennon was shot to death outside his New York home by Mark David Chapman, a schizophrenic fan.
Lennon published two illustrated books of poetry and wit in the mid-1960s, In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works... His son Julian Lennon is also a singer and musician... Lennon's political positions gained him the enmity of J. Edgar Hoover's F. B. I. and the U.S. State Department, and researchers are still trying to get files on Lennon made public.

John Lennon singing in the Heavenly choir.
An extremely talented artist. Symbol of a new era. He was very enlightened, without doubt, but made several serious mistakes during his career. Paul McCartney always kept trying to shadow him, but all his efforts were in vain; John Lennon was just too big (not in the literal sense of the word, he was actually very skinny).
Lennon was killed by Mark David Chapman, a mentally ill man. Even though this man killed one of the greatest figures of all times, he had a great taste in literature; he loved The Catcher in the Rye which is one of the greatest books of all time written by one of the best authors of all time, J. D. Sallinger.
May John Lennon rest in peace.
I recommend buying any "Best of John Lennon" album. He's seriously great. Anyone who says the contrary is a motherfucking jealous n00b and should be automatically killed.

John Lennon is dead and famous.
1. God.
2. Better than you.
3. Frontman of the Beatles.
4. Cuter than Paul.
John Lennon is better than you, and you, and you, and you... and oh, you too.
John Lennon was the main member of the beatles and co-wrote many of the greatest songs of the centrury with Paul MacCartney. During the 50s, he mainly wrote of love, but as the 60s wore on, he became an LSD junkie with the other Bealtes. After that, most of his songs were about drugs, "seeing beyond your stuff" and sublimal messages about how stupid the government is. After his murder in 1980, he's now revered as a musical God.
