Biography
Childhood and youth
The house where John spent his childhood in Liverpool
John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 at 6: 30 am, during a German air raid on Liverpool. [8]
[9].
His parents are Julia (English:Julia Lennon 1914-1958) and Alfred Lennon (English:Alfred Lennon 1912-1976).
John became their first and last child soon after his birth, Julia and Alfred separated.
Lennon's house, where he lived with Aunt Mimi
When Julia Lennon found another man, four year old John was taken in by his maternal aunt Mimi Smith (eng. en:Mimi Smith 1906-1991) and her husband George Smith, who had no children of their own.
Mimi was a strict teacher [9], and this often caused rejection in Lennon.
Mimi did not approve of his passion for the guitar.
John was distinguished by a rare wit and malice.
When he was learning to play the guitar, Aunt Mimi grumbled: Later, at the peak of his success, John bought his aunt a luxurious mansion on the coast and decorated the hall with a marble plaque with the words of his aunt.
But Lennon found a common language with his uncle, who replaced his father, but in 1955 George died.
Then John became close to his mother Julia, who lived with her second husband and two children from him.
Lennon could not stand the routine of school life [9], so, despite his sharp mind,he slipped from the category of the best students to the worst.
But at school he managed to reveal his creative abilities — Lennon sang in the choir and published a handwritten magazine, which he illustrated himself.
His favorite books at that time were "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wind in the Willows" [10].
In 1952, Lennon was at Quarry Bank High School (English:Quarry Bank High School).
In his studies, he did not achieve much success here either, quickly finding himself in class C for the most backward students.
At the same time, Lennon regularly violated discipline and drew caricatures of teachers [11].
In the mid 1950s, after the release of Bill Haley's song "Rock around the Clock", a passion for rock and roll began in Liverpool.
Lonnie Donegan's song "Rock Island Line" gave birth to a skiffle, which quickly gained popularity among English youth.
Skiffle was notable for the fact that its performance did not require extensive knowledge of music and the ability to play well on any instrument.
Thanks to this, many youth skiffle groups appeared in England in the 1950s.
Rock and roll finally gained popularity after the appearance of Elvis Presley in the United States.
The new hobby did not pass by Lennon, and in 1956 he and his school friends founded the group The Quarrymen, named after the school where they all studied.
Lennon himself played guitar in the Quarrymen.
Besides him, there were five people in the band: another also played guitar, two played drums, one person played banjo and one, John's best friend Pete Shotton, played on a washboard.
On July 6, 1957, Lennon met Paul McCartney and accepted him into the Quarrymen.
Soon McCartney brought his friend George Harrison to the group.
After Lennon failed his final exams at school, he managed (not without the help of the headmaster[9]) to enter the Liverpool Art College.
There he became friends with Stuart Sutcliffe, whom he also attracted to Quarrymen, and met his future wife Cynthia Powell.
In 1958 (July 15), John's mother died.
When she was crossing the road, she was hit by a police officer with a car.
Julia's death was a severe shock for Lennon [9][10].
Later, he dedicated several songs to her — "Julia", "Mother" and "My Mummy's Dead".
The death of his mother greatly affected him in the future.
Since Lennon was very much attached to Julia, he looked for his mother in almost all women.
The Quarrymen group ceased to exist in 1959, when the name appeared first Silver Beetles, then The Beatles.
Early Beatles
Lennon on stage with the Beatles in 1964
The first visit to the United States, Lennon is the far left
In 1960, The Beatles went abroad for the first time — to Hamburg, Germany, where they performed in the clubs of the Reeperbahn, the center of the city's nightlife.
In Hamburg, Lennon tried drugs for the first time.
The Beatles visited Germany several times between 1960 and 1963.
Over the years, they have managed to achieve local popularity in Liverpool and Hamburg.
Les Paul Jr. Lennon
Stuart (Stu) Sutcliffe, the closest person to Lennon during these years, stayed in Hamburg.
Sutcliffe found a wife in Germany, the photographer Astrid Kircher (eng. en:Astrid Kirchherr b.
May 20, 1938).
On April 10, 1962, Stu died of a brain hemorrhage.
At the end of 1961, Brian Epstein became the manager of The Beatles.
He completely changed their image — the band changed from leather jackets to neat suits with famous jackets without lapels, the musicians stopped smoking and swearing on stage.
Lennon later admitted that the change of image did not really appeal to him.
Nevertheless, the new image contributed to the rapid growth of The Beatles ' popularity.
John Lennon Guitars
On August 23, 1962, John Lennon married Cynthia Powell.
On April 8, 1963, John and Cynthia Lennon had a son, John Charles Julian Lennon.
It was named after Julia, John's mother.
In 1963, Lennon "showed his teeth" for the first time, speaking to the royal family.
Announcing the next number, he exclaimed with mischief: - We ask those who are sitting in cheap seats to applaud.
The rest can limit themselves to jingling their jewelry![12]
"Those who are in cheap seats" met this call with stormy applause.
The "others" - the crowned and uncrowned Windsors were shocked.
The scandalous fame only contributed to the growth of the band's popularity, and Lennon from that time took on the role of leader — he announced the numbers at concerts and was always the first to go on stage, although in fact it could not be said that one or another member of the Beatles was more important to the group than the others.
If in the spring of 1963 they were well known only in Liverpool, then in October of the same year the whole country knew about them, and in 1964 the Liverpool group came to world fame.
In addition, Lennon tried himself as an actor.
Apart from the films created by The Beatles, he once starred in a movie: it was the film " How I Won the War "(English:" How I Won the War " (1967)).
The film was not a success with either the audience or the critics.
However, the film fully corresponded to the spirit of the times, and as a historical artifact (against the background of the events accompanying the Vietnam War) has a very definite cultural and artistic value.
"More Popular than Jesus"
In 1964-1966, The Beatles were at the height of fame.
They constantly toured around the world, released albums twice a year, starred in two films: "Help!"
(English Help!) and "The Evening of a difficult Day" (eng.
A Hard Day's Night).
In March 1966, Lennon dropped an incautious phrase in an interview with the London Evening Standard newspaper, saying the following:
Christianity will go away.
It will disappear and wither.
There is no need to argue;
I am right and the future will prove it.
Now we are more popular than Jesus;
I do not know which will disappear sooner — rock and roll or Christianity.
Jesus was nothing, but his followers are stupid and ordinary.
And it is their perversion that destroys Christianity in me.
In the UK, no one paid attention to this phrase, but when, five months later, the American magazine Datebook placed the phrase that The Beatles were more popular than Christ on the cover, a scandal began in the United States.
In the south of the country, whose residents are known for their religiosity, publicly burned The Beatles ' records, radio stations stopped broadcasting their songs.
Even the Vatican condemned Lennon's statement (in 2008, however, the Vatican forgave the musician, saying that his phrase could be regarded as a "joke" [13]).
At the same time, the Beatles were preparing for a tour of the United States.
Lennon was forced to apologize for his words, but the concerts during the tour were missed by a huge number of spectators.
Lennon was threatened with death: in Memphis, someone called The Beatles ' room and said that he (Lennon) would be killed during the concert.
After these tours, the Beatles decided to abandon the concerts.
They never performed on stage again.
1967—1968
In 1967, Lennon became interested in drugs under the influence of Timothy Leary's book "The Psychedelic Experience".
He began to distance himself from the rest of the group and refused to play the role of its leader.
After the death of Brian Epstein, Paul McCartney took over the management of the Beatles.
In 1967, McCartney took the lead in the band — the best, according to many, rock album of all time "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band " was conceived and implemented by him, as well as the TV movie "A Magical Mystery Tour".
"The film was made by Paul and for Paul," Lennon later told Rolling Stone magazine.
The songs from the albums 1967-1968, although they were signed by Lennon McCartney, in the vast majority of cases were the fruit of the creativity of only one of the Beatles.
The "White Album", released in 1968, shows how the band members differed from each other during this period.
"Imagine" ad from Billboard magazine, September 18, 1971.
During these years, Lennon composed songs that many later recognized as his best works: the philosophical "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Across the Universe", the psychedelic" I Am the Walrus "and" Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", the gloomy" A Day in the Life "and the solemn" All You Need is Love", which became a hippie anthem.
The appearance of Lennon, like the rest of the band members, has changed a lot.
The Beatles stopped dressing in neat suits, grew long hair, mustaches and sideburns.
The famous round glasses appeared in the image of Lennon for the first time.
In November 1968, Lennon's wife, Cynthia Lennon, divorced her husband.
The reason for this was John's infidelity with Yoko Ono.
Cynthia, returning from Greece, saw her husband and his mistress in her bed.
On November 8, 1968, the divorce was officially registered.
Marriage to Yoko Ono
Lennon met the avant garde artist Yoko Ono in 1966, when he visited her exhibition at the Indica Art Gallery.
Their life together began in 1968, when Lennon divorced his first wife Cynthia.
Soon, he and Yoko became inseparable.
As Lennon said at the time, they are not John and Yoko, but one soul in two bodies, John and Yoko.
On March 20, 1969, the marriage of John Lennon and Yoko Ono was registered in Gibraltar.
After his marriage, Lennon changed his middle name from Winston to Ono, and now his name was John Ono Lennon.
The couple spent their honeymoon in continental Europe Paris, Amsterdam and Vienna, after which they visited Montreal.
Lennon's song about this marriage, "The Ballad of John and Yoko", was released in 1969.
It was recorded together with McCartney (bass, drums)
The breakup of the Beatles
We dreamed of changing something in this world... but everything remained the same.
They still sell weapons to South Africa, and blacks are killed on the street.
People still live in poverty, and rats run over them.
Only crowds of rich idlers walk around London in fashionable rags.
I no longer believe in the myth of the Beatles [14].
Relations within the Beatles finally soured in 1968.
Lennon and Paul McCartney have accumulated a lot of complaints about each other.
Lennon, for example, was not satisfied with the fact that McCartney was pulling the blanket over himself, and he was dissatisfied with Lennon's apathy and constant stay in the studio during the recordings of Yoko Ono (although at the beginning of their career the Beatles agreed not to invite wives and girls to the studio).
In addition, their creative collaboration almost ceased, Lennon was increasingly inclined to psychedelic rock ("Strawberry Fields Forever"), acid rock ("I am the Walrus") and avant garde ("Revolution 9").
In 1968, the Beatles were on the verge of breaking up, and Ringo Starr even announced his departure (although in the end he still remained in the group).
Many recordings on the "White Album" were made in an incomplete composition, and Lennon recorded the song "Julia" alone.
The album "Abbey Road", released in 1969, was also organized by Paul McCartney — the concept of the album belonged to him.
"Abbey Road" actually became the last Beatles album.
Released in 1970, " Let It Be "was almost completely recorded in January 1969 during the studio session that became the basis of the film"Let It Be".
By the time the album was released, Lennon and McCartney had already announced that they were leaving the band.
In 1968, two years before the breakup of the Beatles, John Lennon and Yoko Ono released their first album, Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins.
According to Lennon, the album was recorded in one night.
There was no music on it: the record contained a random set of noises, moans and screams.
The album cover was remarkable — it featured a photo of Lennon and Yoko Ono completely naked.
In 1969, two studio albums were released: "Wedding Album" and "Unfinished Music No. 2: Life With The Lions", which also contained almost no music.
In addition, a live recording of "Live Peace In Toronto 1969" was released.
Lennon and Yoko Ono formed a group called Plastic Ono Band.
Political activity and emigration
External Video Files Lionsgate&vh1 movie "John Lennon vs. the United States"
John Lennon's period of political activity lasted from 1968 to 1972.
The beginning of this period was the song "Revolution", which was released on the single and its variation "Revolution 1", which was released on the"White Album".
By that time, Lennon had not yet finally decided on his position, which can be understood from "Revolution 1", where, unlike the original version of the song, the end of the first verse sounds like this:
But when you talk about destruction
Donot you know that you can count me out… in
That is, after the words with which Lennon refuses violence, the word "in" follows, which gives the line an absolutely opposite meaning.
Another political song written for the Beatles album was "Come Together", released on the album"Abbey Road".
At this time, Lennon had already taken a very definite position — he advocated for world peace, and even returned the Order of the British Empire to the Queen — in protest against...
"British intervention in the Nigeria Biafra conflict, against our support for the American war in Vietnam and against the fact that "Cold Turkey" is falling in the charts" [15].
Recording of the song Give Peace a Chance
The first public political actions of Lennon together with Yoko Ono date back to 1969.
After their wedding, they went to Amsterdam and announced that they would conduct a "bed interview".
The journalists, who decided that the star couple would publicly have sex, gathered at the hotel, where it turned out that Lennon and Yoko Ono were just sitting in bed and talking about the world.
Wearing white pajamas and decorating their hotel room with flowers, John and Yoko were sitting in their beds.
The doors of the room were wide open around the clock.
Anyone from the street could enter them.
And he came in.
Television, photographers, and newspaper reporters spent the day and night in Lennon's rooms in Amsterdam and Toronto.
They did not leave the television screens, from the first pages of newspapers and magazines.
And along with the sensation, their call to put an end to the aggression in Vietnam involuntarily seeped into the world.
Henry Ford knew how to sell cars through advertising.
Yoko and I were "selling" the world.
Many people thought it was funny, but many began to think [12].
After Amsterdam, the bed demonstration was repeated in Montreal, where Lennon impromptu composed the song "Give Peace a Chance", which became the anthem of the pacifist movement.
On December 15, 1969, the Lennons organized an anti war concert under the slogan "The war will end if you want it".
On December 30 of the same year, British television showed a program dedicated to Lennon and named him one of the three political figures of the decade (along with John Kennedy and Mao Zedong).
In 1969, John and Yoko had long hair during a bed campaign.
On January 20, 1970, they cut each other's hair in Denmark.
The turbulent political and musical activity led to the fact that in the early 1970s, Lennon began a psychological crisis.
He was brought out of this crisis by Dr. Arthur Yanov, who practiced primal therapy (English)Russian..
With the help of Janov, Lennon managed to return to a normal state, and the methods of treatment made a deep impression on him, which is noticeable on the album "John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band" in 1970, which became Lennon's most outspoken record.
In 1971, the album "Imagine" was released, which told about Lennon's utopian dreams.
At this time, his political position changed dramatically — he, along with Yoko Ono, took part in a rally in support of the Irish Republican Army, and on the cover of the single "Power to the People", the Lennons were depicted in army helmets.
Since September 1971, Lennon and Yoko Ono have lived in New York.
After a long struggle with the US immigration authorities, who refused to give the couple permission to enter because of the drug scandal in 1969, the Lennons still received the right to reside in the United States.
John Lennon never visited the UK again.
Immediately after moving overseas, Lennon joined the political life of the United States.
He advocated the granting of civil rights to Indians, for softening the conditions of detention of prisoners in prisons, for the release of John Sinclair, one of the leaders of American youth, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for marijuana possession (shortly after Lennon's action in support of Sinclair, he was released).
Lennon's last political album was "Some Time In New York City" (1972), after which the radical period of his work ended.
Released in 1973, the album "Mind Games" showed that Lennon's political songs were in the past.
1973—1980
In early 1973, the US authorities issued Yoko Ono an official residence permit in the country, and Lennon, on the contrary, was ordered to leave the United States within two months.
Soon after, the couple separated for more than a year.
Separation from his wife and creative decline again led to a psychological crisis.
Until the summer of 1974, Lennon was practically inactive, and by the beginning of recording a new album in August, he had only one song ready.
In October 1974, a new album was released under the name "Walls And Bridges".
A year later, "Rock'n'roll" was released, an album of songs that The Beatles sang before the arrival of fame.
On October 9, 1975, Lennon's thirty fifth birthday, he had a son named Sean.
After that, Lennon announced that he was ending his musical career and devoted the next 5 years to his son.
In all these years, he only appeared in public twice — when he was finally given official permission to live in the United States.
This happened in 1975, also on October 9.
He was also invited to a private reception of US President Jimmy Carter together with Yoko.
The second time was at the Grammy Award ceremony in 1976.
Lennon's next album was released only in 1980.
It was called "Double Fantasy" and received good reviews from critics.
This disc was destined to be the last in the work of John Lennon, whose life was cut short a few weeks after the release of the record.
Yoko Ono co wrote the album.

On the day of his death, Lennon gave his last interview to American journalists, and at 22: 50 minutes, when John and Yoko were entering under the arch of their house, after returning from the Hit Factory recording studio, Chapman, who had earlier that day taken an autograph from Lennon for the cover of the new album "Double Fantasy", which was released three weeks earlier, shot him five times in the back, of which four reached the target.
