John Lennon

Today is the anniversary of the day John Lennon was killed in 1980. I remember when I heard the news - I was sitting in my car in my apartment's parking lot, listening to the radio. It was a shock.

John Lennon was my least favorite Beatle. To the teenage me, when the Beatles first came on the scene, he seemed like a mean person, one who likes to mock others (hey, it's not just me - read what Eric Clapton saya about John hi in his autobiography).

But anyway, there's no denying that he was smart, had a sense of humour, and was very talented. Here's one of his songs from the film A Hard Day's Night, If I Fell (1964) ...



And here's what I think was one of his most interesting songs, A Day in the Life (1967) ...

"A Day in the Life" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles that was released as the final track of their 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Credited to Lennon–McCartney, the verses were mainly written by John Lennon, with Paul McCartney primarily contributing the song's middle section. It is widely regarded as one of the finest and most important works in popular music history.
