He couldn't name 3 Beatles songs??? Did he just think the shirt looked cool or what?

probably just likes the image/rebellion thingy

He should kick his own as[SIZE="2"]s[/SIZE] for being owned like that.

Today is the day and I would like to say a little on John Lennon to commemerate his soul.

Born on October 9th, 1940, John grew up in an englsih town called Liverpool. Having had both parents abandon him, he lived with his Aunt Mimi. It was a tough life for John, but he lived through it. He stared his path to the greatest musical influence of all time when he picked up a banjo.

He instanly became obsessed with the banho, and eventually became a Guiatrist. He started a band called "The Quarry Men," and would play around town. At one of these gigs, his friend Ivan introduced him to another friend of his, a kid by the name of Paul McCartney. They instanly hit it off and soon Paul joined the band. He rode with this kid on the bus who played guitar, and asked him to join them. His Name was George Harrison.

Now all they needed was a drummer. They were tough to come by in Liverpool, but one guy fit the bill. His name was pete best, and he had the one thing that mattered. His own Drum set. So tehy formed, and they started to play gigs around town.

One of these gigs was at a place called "The Cavern, and a music store owner had come by to watch them, Brian Epstien. He was seduced by what he heard, and started to look around for a producer to produce them.

After several refusals, he came across a producer name George Martin, and He agreed to produce them. Brian was estacic, and told the boys right away. There was a condition, he told them. They needed a new drummer, Pete wasn't cutting it. A man name Richard Starkey fit the bill, but he was already in a band called "Rory and the Hurricanes." They saked him if he would join, adn he agreed. And so the path to stardom began. They had widespread popularity all over the Continent, and soon to be all over the world.

The beatles had many succesfull albums (sorry I skipped over the albums but this is a tribute to John, and I want to do a bit on his life after The Beatles and I don't want to take up 2 pages). In 67/68, he met a woman called Yoko One. He was instanly fell in love. It was akward, and they spent alot of time away in his house. Eventually he brought her to the recording sesions. The rest of the band got fed up (once again sorry about skipping stuff) and the band went there seperate ways.

John did some solo albums, and things were going well for him. He had a couple #1's, and enjoyed making music. He then decieded to take some time off making music, and live with Yoko. After a couple years, he decided to come out and make another album.

It was December 8th, 7:50. He walked out of his apartment, and out of the Shadows jumped a man. He shot John in the back. The Shots would sound around the world. He died that day at 8:15, Dead on Arivvial.

Trully a hero of our time, taken from us to soon. John Lennon Rest in piece.

Sorry, I know its a bit long and I cut some stuff out, but It's John, and I could have made it a lot longer.

John We Honour You.

You forgot to mention the guy got his autograph before he shot him. The last Lennon autograph ever. :(

Actually John was shot at 10:50, died at 11:15. Well that's eastern time, I'm not sure if you live in a different time zone.

I wish my parents were cool and would let me go into NYC and go to Strawberry Fields this afternoon. I've just been watching the news and listening to John all day. I wish I was one of the thousands of people at Strawberry Fields. People traveled from fuc[COLOR="White"]king[/COLOR] Scotland and my parents wouldn't let me take a 45 minute train ride to NYC to be there. I'll try to go tomorrow or after the weekend to make up for it though. It's just such an unbelievable tragedy that he died. I wore my Lennon shirt today.

np- Crippled Inside

As I said, I probaly left out some stuff out, like the autograph, and I live in Pacific time, so it was 7:50 here. I still thought I did a half decne job on that bio. I didn't want to make it to long or no one would read it.

Personally I like Abbey Road the most. But all I could buy was a Sgt Peppers shirt. Not dissing Sgt Peppers. That was an awesome album too :)

Wore my Abbey Road shirt today. Sad day. :(

RIP John.

Slow night. I figured that this day among all else would have people posting. Maybe you are all to busy mourning John to post.

Anyone else agree that Watching The Wheels is just about the greatest song ever?

[QUOTE=robo2448]Anyone else agree that Watching The Wheels is just about the greatest song ever?[/QUOTE]

Solo John or just any song ever written?

RIP John Lennon

I never lived to see John Lennon but ive come to be a very loyal Beatle fan and I love Lennon and I miss him so much.

[QUOTE=m30wc0w]Personally I like Abbey Road the most. But all I could buy was a Sgt Peppers shirt. Not dissing Sgt Peppers. That was an awesome album too :)[/QUOTE]
Abbey Road is my favorite also


RIP John

favortie beatles album? Thats such a hard question. Id have to say Sgt Peppers or Magical Mystery Tour. Although I never do admit this, I think the White Album is very overated.

[QUOTE=Magical_Mystery_Tour]Slow night. I figured that this day among all else would have people posting. Maybe you are all to busy mourning John to post.[/QUOTE]Maybe..

Watching the Wheels is an awesome song.

# 9 dream is my fav John Solo song.

I like that song too.

This kid thought I was wearing a Harry Potter shirt today when the shirt said LENNON in big letters. What the hell.. Lennon doesn't look like Harry Potter, at all.

i haven't gone on my lennon song binch yet, probably start as soon as I get offline. Definitally play stuff like Day in the Life, Across the Universe, In My Life, How (best underrated Lennon song), GImme Some Truth, and of course end with the songs to end all songs, Imagine.

That song alone made me want to becoming a rock star, and for that, I give my eternal gratitude to you John, wherever you are :)

Since you mentioned Pete Best you probably should have mentioned Stewart Sutcliffe(sp?) as well, but I thought you did a good job regardless.

Stu was John's best friend, after all

Reading the Anthology book really made me feel sorry Stu for the way they treated him, especially considering the fact that he was John's best friend.

[QUOTE=leppermessiah]Since you mentioned Pete Best you probably should have mentioned Stewart Sutcliffe(sp?) as well, but I thought you did a good job regardless.[/QUOTE]

I thought of mentioning their first bassist Stu, but decided againts it. I'm not really sure why I didn't mention, as he was a key part of the Beatles early career. I just mntioned Pete so I could sort of explain why they got Ringo.

[QUOTE=robo2448]Anyone else agree that Watching The Wheels is just about the greatest song ever?[/QUOTE]
Word. That song is incredible.

Is their no other #9 dream fans out there. Watching the Wheels is a good song, but I like #9 dream better. Anyone agree?

[QUOTE=Magical_Mystery_Tour]Is their no other #9 dream fans out there. Watching the Wheels is a good song, but I like #9 dream better. Anyone agree?[/QUOTE]No, not really..

[QUOTE=blue3]No, not really..[/QUOTE]

Oh, ok. :upset:

/goes and cries in teh corner.

[QUOTE=Magical_Mystery_Tour]Oh, ok. :upset:

/goes and cries in teh corner.[/QUOTE]Haha. I think it's a good song though :)

Yes Watching The Wheels is definetley better than #9 Dream!

Does anyone else like the song Well, Well, Well I think it's a kickass rock song!
