Lennon was born in Liverpool, England, on October 9 of the 1940. His father, Alfred Lennon, was a sailor and his mother, Julia Stanley was a crazy woman. His parent divorced when John had five years old and he ended up living with his aunt Mimi. She taught him, his first chords in the Banjo. He grew up listening to Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly.
John studied at the school of Fine Arts. In 1956, he met a Paul McCartney. He liked him, because both boys felt realized only with a guitar in their hands. Lennon and McCartney formed his first amateur group “The Quarrymen”. After a while, the group evolves in 1960 “The Beatles”.

Besides, members of group were distinguished by a new style of clothing’s and cheerfully defiant personality. They were manifested as types witty, funny and carefree. John was the man who wielded a rebel with concerns and was the most incisive.
In 1968, Lennon married in Gibraltar with the Japanese Yoko Ono. The financial problems, the died of Brian Epstein member of the group, jealousy between John and Paul, were elements that decreed the dissolution of the Beatles in April 1970. John said “The dream is over”. After that, in the seventies, he became an activist for pacifism. With his wife published a dozen LPS. . His talent as a composer was expressed in songs like "Give Peace a Chance", "Power to the people" or "Some Time in New York City."

For five years, his public appearances were rare and extraordinary. But in 1980 the famous beatleen recorded the album titled Double Fantasy. It proclaimed his undying love for his wife and child with simple and catchy choruses ever.
Days later, on December 8 of the 1980 a fan ,Mark David Chapman, believed that killing to John Lennon would be the most famous person in the world, then shot the singer with a gun five times.

Personal Comment:
I like Lennon, because he was one of the few
people whose music had fought for a better world. He had very liberal ideas and then was very biased. In
the 80s the people were still very closed-minded to the of Lennon is ideas. Only some few people managed
to fall on account of his great talent.
He was also a fantastic musician. His lyrics
penetrated even the hardest of hearts. Lennon was a very wise man and talented
and that is reflected in his legacy. Today, music is very lost, is not the same
as twenty years ago. It shows lack that makes us musicians like Kurt Cobain or
John Lennon.
