The Genius of the Century


How do you think about the title above? I really agree about it. Just imagine how that man wrote hundreds of songs which can be adopted into any kinds of music. For my salutation, I put him in this blog as one of the greatests influenced the birth of Rock. This is what I quote about him:


Full Name: Originally John Winston Lennon, later John Ono Lennon
Born: October 9, 1940
Died: December 8, 1980

About John Lennon:
Had two distinct careers, as singer-songwriter-guitarist for The Beatles, then as a solo musician, author, and political activist
Had a major influence on the evolution of rock music as a force for social and political change
Performed with, recorded with, and married Yoko Ono, whom he met at an exhibit of her art n London in 1966
Shot and killed by a deranged fan outside his New York City apartment as he and Yoko returned from a recording session in December, 1980
John Lennon Before and After The Beatles: His mother taught him to play banjo as a child. He formed the group that would eventually become The Beatles, then called The Quarry Men, in the late 50s. After The Beatles split in 1970, he continued writing and performing as a solo artist until 1975, when he retired. He had just released a comeback album shortly before his death in 1980.

John Lennon Quote:

"My role in society, or any artist's or poet's role, is to try and express what we all feel. Not to tell people how to feel. Not as a preacher, not as a leader, but as a reflection of us all."
