A great musician, member of the 1960-1970 band The Beatles, assassinated outside his New York apartment in 1980 by Mark Chapman in front of his spouse Yoko Ono, a truly influential great man with an untimely death will be forever remembered.

he IS the greatest man to ever live, second only to Jesus. His ideas of peace, love, and harmony still stand firm...but the word's too fucking ignorant to go with it. As Immortal Technique would say, Lennon truly lived "Revolutionarily."

John Lennon, Rock Musician / Songwriter
Born: 9 October 1940
Birthplace: Liverpool, England
Died: 8 December 1980 (shot to death)
Best Known As: One of The Beatles
As half of The Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were one of the most successful songwriting teams of the century. Together they wrote dozens of hit tunes, ranging from "Help!" and "Ticket to Ride" to "Penny Lane" and "Let It Be." Lennon's romance with Yoko Ono was a major influence on his post-Beatles career, and he collaborated with her on everything from the modern pop hymn "Imagine" to avant-garde noise and poetry. The Beatles broke up in 1970, and Lennon followed with a solo career marked by uneven recordings and public pleas for world peace. After a reclusive five years as a family man, Lennon released an album with Yoko in 1980, Double Fantasy. As their new song "Just Like Starting Over" was reaching the top of the charts, Lennon was shot to death outside his New York home by Mark David Chapman, a schizophrenic fan.
Lennon published two illustrated books of poetry and wit in the mid-1960s, In His Own Write and A Spaniard in the Works... His son Julian Lennon is also a singer and musician... Lennon's political positions gained him the enmity of J. Edgar Hoover's F. B. I. and the U.S. State Department, and researchers are still trying to get files on Lennon made public.

An extremely talented artist. Symbol of a new era. He was very enlightened, without doubt, but made several serious mistakes during his career. Paul McCartney always kept trying to shadow him, but all his efforts were in vain; John Lennon was just too big (not in the literal sense of the word, he was actually very skinny).
Lennon was killed by Mark David Chapman, a mentally ill man. Even though this man killed one of the greatest figures of all times, he had a great taste in literature; he loved The Catcher in the Rye which is one of the greatest books of all time written by one of the best authors of all time, J. D. Sallinger.
May John Lennon rest in peace.

I recommend buying any "Best of John Lennon" album. He's seriously great. Anyone who says the contrary is a motherfucking jealous n00b and should be automatically killed.
