John and His Music

9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980 

John Lennon was an iconic 20th century English rock and roll songwriter and singer, who gained worldwide fame as founder of The Beatles.

Lennon's songwriting was often full of pain and hope. His melodies were at times beautiful and at times dark. His lyrics reflected his personal and career demands, philosophical outlook, his unease with his fame, and current events.

This lens is about John and his music.

*IMAGINE* - John Lennon & Yoko Ono

Imagine 

These are the lyrics to John Lennon's song

Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

The U.S. vs. John Lennon 

Documentary, Politics/Religion and War

The story traces John Lennon's life from the period 1966 to 1976, where Lennon transforms into an antiwar activist, one in constant conflict with the U.S. government and its views.

"The mild fascination of The U.S. vs. John Lennon is that it puts Lennon together as a political animal, examining how his iconoclastic wit and anger turned into conceptual protest when he fused it with the avant-garde theatrics of Yoko Ono." ~~ Owen Gleiberman

Running Time: 1 hr. 39 min.
Release Date: September 15th, 2006 (limited)
MPAA Rating: PG-13 for some strong language, violent images and drug references.

FBI releases final John Lennon files 

Wed Dec 20, 4:24 PM ET

The FBI has released its final surveillance documents on John Lennon to a university historian who has waged a 25-year legal battle to obtain the secret files.

The 10 pages contain new details about Lennon's ties to leftist and anti-war groups in London in the early 1970s, but nothing indicating government officials considered the former Beatle a serious threat, historian Jon Wiener told the Los Angeles Times in Wednesday's editions.

"Today, we can see that the national security claims that the FBI has been making for 25 years were absurd from the beginning."

Wiener first requested the documents in 1981, several months after he decided to write a book about Lennon following the singer's murder.

The previously released files showed that the FBI closely monitored Lennon from 1971 to 1972.

Check out the Beatles performing a Shakespearean skit on a 1964 British television program. The audience seemed to be having as much fun as the Fab Four were! Where else can you see John dressed up as a woman, playing Paul's love interest? Hilarious! Don't miss it!
