John Lennon is Famous because

Well, when most people hear the name John Lennon they will think “The Beatles.” The name of a band who were loved across the globe. He had started to love music the very first time he heard Elvis. His Aunt later bought him a guitar, from which he put his heart and soul into. In High School he started a band in which he met his new best friend Paul McCartney, who became his lead singer.

ContinuedFrom there Paul brought

George Harrison, 3 years younger than them, became the Bass Guitar. Eventually after years of playing they had found a new Drummer, Ringo Star. Soon the band would take flight. They started in Hamburg, Germany, in 1960 and would travel the world until the April of 1970 when they split up.

Why I Admire John Lennon

I admire John Lennon because even though he had a pretty rough childhood, with suffering from loses and deaths he still over came all of it to express his talents in music. In doing that he created some of the most amazing songs in the world most of them becoming hits. Some of those songs weren’t even made when he was in the Beatles like “Imagine.”

Why I Would have Not Liked to Live His Life

Despite all of Lennon’s fame and wealth I wouldn’t have liked to live his life because as a child he went threw some dramatic times. He grew up not knowing his father because he was in the military. Then when he was a young boy his father came back; so he had to choose between his father or his mother. He eventually chose to stay with his mother. He later lost his uncle when he was a teen, then later his mother, after the Beatles got together.

What I would most like to Ask Lennon Did you ever dream that the

Beatles would have been this big of a phenomenon as they were; because you were all just small town boys out of Liverpool who popped up and touched millions of hearts with your music. From the most cheeriest songs like “I Want to Hold Your Hand” to the most meaningful like “Hey Jude.’’ You brought these songs all over the world. Could a small town boy ever expect this future.
