John Lennon
Classic Rock, Jazz, The Blues, Country, Rap and Heavy Metal all have their own chapter assigned to them in the big book of "Music History." Each of these music genres denotes a certain feeling for its listeners; and each style brings to mind a certain icon associated with it. On October 9th, 1940 a man who would forever change the pattern of music history was born. John Lennon; is a man best known for his music, but in addition to that he was a philosopher, artist, visionary, social leader and most importantly a common man with a dream.A troubled Liverpool, England family was blessed with John's birth in early October of 1940. John's father deserted his mother when John was only three, and he was turned over to one of his mothers sisters to raise, whom he affectionately called "Aunt Mimi", a woman he considered the greatest person to ever live. When he was older he and his "mum", Julia a later inspiration for a Beatles song, once again began a relationship, but she became the victim of a drunken off-duty policeman driving late in the night. This feeling of abandonment at such an early age would forever be woven into John's life.In school John was a prankster and known as a rebellious child to his neighbors in the quiet subu

December 8, 1980 began as normal as any day for John, he had just left home to go and do some recording for the album he was working on "Milk and Honey", which was released in 1984. dissolved the Beatles had somehow become an integral part of it, every step of the way. They tried a heart massage to revive John, but his heart stopped. In the spring of 1969, shortly after the trouble-filled "Get Back" sessions were completed, Lennon and a very pregnant Ono embarked on a "honeymoon" to Europe, stopping along the way to get married in Gibraltar on March 20th. Paul McCartney attended a performance in 1957 and shortly afterward became a member. He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. In 1974 Lennon separated from Yoko Ono, relocating to Los Angeles. Lennon, who had been deeply involved with Cynthia Powell since 1957, married her in 1962 when she became pregnant with their first son Julian.
