Pra Quem Curte....esse post é prato cheio!
John Lennon nasceu em Liverpool, em 1940, em plena segunda guerra mundial e não teve irmãos. Seus pais chamavam-se Julia e Alfred Lennon. John pouco viu seu pai que, trabalhando em navio, ficava longos períodos ausente. Sem uma apropriada condição de criar o filho, Julia o deixou, ainda pequeno, aos cuidados de sua irmã Mary (casada com George Smith), em Woolton, Liverpool. Já aos seis anos de idade, cantava no coro da igreja de São Pedro, em Woolton. Foi na Escola Primária de Dovedale que John iniciou seus estudos e, em 1952, foi estudar na Escola Gramática Quarry Bank, quando, então, iniciou uma amizade com Peter Shotton. Os dois foram amigos inseparáveis mas, juntos, criaram muitos problemas na escola, devido sua rebeldia. Por outro lado, John já demonstrava nesta época seu talento literário. Apreciava a leitura de Lewis Carroll e Richmal Crompton, entre outros. Em 1955, seu querido tio George faleceu. Como a maioria dos jovens da época, John também foi profundamente influenciado pelo movimento musical skiffle e, em 1955, montou com seus colegas de escola uma banda chamada The Quarry Men. Houve muitas mudanças no grupo, mas a mais importante ocorreu em 1957, quando outro estudante se incorporou ao grupo, ele chamava-se Paul McCartney. Vários estilos influenciaram os Quarry Men, um deles foi Elvis Presley. Logo, John e Paul, tornaram-se uma dupla perfeita para escrever canções. O grupo, então, passou a chamar-se Johnny & The Moondogs. Nesta época, a formação era: John, Paul, George e Ken Brown. Houve ainda um quinto integrante, Stuart Sutcliffe. Mais tarde o grupo passou a chamar-se The Beatles, fazendo uma brincadeira com as palavras beat (batida, compasso) e beetle (besouro).
Em agosto de 1962 John Lennon casou-se com Cynthia Powell e com ela permaneceu até 1969 quando se uniu a Yoko Ono, figura forte e misteriosa, a quem muitos responsabilizam como a causa da desagregação do grupo.
Com o fim dos Beatles, Lennon continou carreira solo, com a participação de Yoko. Lançou, entre outros, "Plastic Ono Band" (1970), "Imagine" (1971), "Mind Games" (1973), "Walls and Bridges" (1974), "Rock 'N' Roll" e "Shaved Fish" (1975). Em 1975 interrompeu a carreira para se dedicar à família após o nascimento do filho Sean Lennon. Voltou ao estúdios em 1980 e lançou "Double Fantasy", seu último disco. Em 1982 ganhou postumamente o Grammy por "Double Fantasy". E também postumamente é lançado, entre outros, "Milk and Honey" (1984), "Live in New York City" (1986, gravado em 1972), "Rock 'N'Roll and Walls and Bridges"(1986), "Acoustic" (2004).
Lennon travou batalha jurídica com o Departamento de Imigração norte-americano, desde 1971 quando se mudou para Nova York, e radicalizou seu discusos e sua luta pela paz. Tornou-se amigo de ativistas de esquerda como Jerry Rubin e Abbie Hoffman, além de se aproximar de lideranças dos Panteras Negras. A administração Nixon tentou deportá-lo, mas em 1972 ele conseguiu o visto de permanência. Estava no índice das pessoas investigadas pelo FBI, fato só admitido após a sua morte.
Sem sombra de dúvidas foi um dos músicos mais importantes da história...
