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).

The song was not written about anyone in particular.
What song has the lyrics crucifying john Lennon?
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.
