Lennon sang in the school choir when a boy, but it was the arrival of rock and roll music in the 1950s that really gave him an interest in music. Also, in the 1950s Lonnie Donegan had a lot of success with skiffle - upbeat music played on, largely, home made instruments. It made people realise that playing music did not necessarily need expensive instruments. Lennon formed a skiffle band - he played guitar, although tuned like a banjo as his mother tuned it for him and showed him how to play banjo chords (the only ones she knew).
He was inspired by early rock n roll (Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Elvis Presley)
John claimed that he chose to become a singer-musician after seeing Elvis being adored by girls. "THAT'S a good job," John said.
A lot of things...his main musical inspiration came from Elvis Presley.
He originally did it for fun, but later in the 70's, he sang to promote peace.
because he liked playing instrument and singing, so he wanted to be singer and he archived his dream. and he was one of the most famous singer in the world.
The song was not written about anyone in particular.
The Ballad of John and Yoko by John Lennon has the lyrics, "The way things are going, they're going to crucify me". The questioner might also be referring to a John Mellencamp song called "Key West Intermezzo (I saw you first)" where a line reads "This loud Cuban band is crucifying John Lennon." I always liked the wordplay of that line, as the band could be singing "The Ballad of John and Yoko", or they could just be doing a really crappy job of singing any John Lennon song.
