About John Lennon

Portrait of John Lennon
Jack Mitchell · CC BY-SA 3.0

English musician, songwriter and activist · 1940 – 1980

John Lennon wrote and sang his way out of postwar Liverpool and, with the Beatles, changed what popular music was allowed to be. His solo work turned inward and outward at once — confessional on Plastic Ono Band, deliberately utopian on Imagine — and his activism made him a target of the Nixon administration. He was shot dead outside his New York home in 1980, aged forty. He is quoted for the idealism, and he was funnier and sharper-tongued than the idealism suggests.
