John Lennon is one of my biggest inspirations. His music and his words are such eye-openers to the problems in this world, and what we need to do to fix them. Without his music, I certainly wouldn't have as much direction in life.
A few years ago, while I was working a booth at an organic festival, two older men spotted my John Lennon t-shirt and approached me to inform me, "You're too young to remember John Lennon!" I told them, "True...but I'm not too young to appreciate his music." So they went on to tell me about a concert of his that they had gone to back in the day...and I must say, I was quite jealous.

John Lennon is one of my favorite musicians of all time. i loved him in the betales, but just as much on his own, where he seemed to find his true identity. people often give him a bad rap because he was quite bitter and harsh during his teen years, but almost everyone he loved died before he was twenty! he was a revolutionary musician who was killed by the government because he was getting his message across to well.

"You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one. I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will be as one."
I still remember the first time I went to John's memorial in Central park. There was a group of hippies there and when they saw me they said I was John reincarnated. That is the day I officially became a hippy. Don't ask me why lol it just stuck with me man

My favorite Lennon lyrics....
In My Life
There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
So beautiful....it's my song to my missus, Littlewing
Zen

I really like Johns music to,in fact he is an inspirational being,& as farabovetheclouds so rightly said, Johns music & Lyrics are just as relevent today as when they were writen in the 60s & 70s,& contain timeless wisdom.
Peace & Love
