John Lennon

John Lennon was shot on December 8th, 1980 by Mark David Chapman. Mark was sentenced to 20 years or life in prison. John was shot walking out of the Dakota, a place where he briefly lived, obviously. Personally I love John Lennon to the core and I hope Mark Chapman rots in jail for the rest of his life.

I saw her in a restaurant in Chinatown on 3/28/10 - she was with a guy but of course I have no idea if she's dating him

In a way she did, but she wasn't the main cause. John always had Yoko in the studio, which she shouldn't have been. Paul also had Linda in the studio too, which she shouldn't have been either. But Paul thought he was the only one doing anything for the band, which started a feud. They also wanted to do different types of music. And they were ready to part ways. It was the rest of the world that wasn't ready for them to part ways.

John Argyris was born on August 19, 1913.

Paul McCartney was the only Beatle to finish high school; he was an Art major. John Lennon blew his last final exams by just a few points, and only made it into college on his headmaster's personal recommendation. George Harrison failed his finals, and was encouraged to repeat his last year of school; he walked after an hour back in class. Ringo Starr spent two of his teen years (and one of his earlier childhood) in the hospital, and never made them up in school.

No. He was English. He was married to a Japanese woman, Yoko Ono, when he was killed in 1980.

The connection between the two is that Hinckley thought that Catcher was telling him to assasinate Reagan. The real reason that he did it was to impress Jodi Foster, who he was obsessed with in the movie "Taxi".

John was a fan, especially of the Beach Boys' "Pet Sounds" album, but not to the same extent as Paul McCartney.

John Lennon was 19 when he joined the Beatles

After her parents divorced, her father Anthony Cox remarried. In 1971 her father abducted the then 8 year old Kyoko and followed her new stepmother in a cult called "The Walk." Cox left the group with Kyoko in 1977, becoming fundamentalist Christians. After leaving the cult, as a part of their new found Christian faith, they helped produce a film documentary exposing the cult. Continuing to live an underground existence, Kyoko was given the new name Rosemary.

She would not see or communicate with her mother again for 23 years. "It was very painful losing my mom," Kyoko says, "but I love my dad too." Fearing that he would be prosecuted for kidnapping, Cox kept on the move, Kyoko says, changing names (she went through nine) and addresses constantly. "Mom says [now] that she wouldn't have put him in jail," Kyoko says, "but as a child, I didn't know what was going to happen. I was protective."

According to one report, Kyoko Chan Cox reunited with Yoko Ono and met her half-brother, Sean Lennon, for the first time in 1997. She is the mother of 2 children. Married since 1992 to a successful lawyer, Kyoko contacted her mother in 1994, after deciding to have children of her own. "When Kyoko appeared finally, I was totally in shock," Ono says. "It felt like the part of me that was missing came back."

While Ono and Lennon courted and married in 1969, Kyoko spent most of her time with her father and visited with her mother and famous stepfather. Although Kyoko says Lennon was always "nice to me," she describes him as "this consuming force. He wanted all of my mom, and there wasn't a lot of her left for me. My dad had a lot of problems, but I was his only kid."

The godfather of Sean Lennon would be Elton John. Elton John is a musician, singer-songwriter, record producer, and a composer. He plays the piano, guitar, keyboard, and uses his vocal.

True - in part - 'Eight Days A Week' was sung by both Paul & John - in unison, until the chorus line, "Eight-days-a-week", where John sang above (higher) than Paul, but when they got to the refrain, "Eight days a week......I lo-----ve you", Paul sang the higher part. Generally, it's easy to tell the two apart - John had more of an 'edge' or nasally vocal, where Paul's is more mellow, although he could get raspy in certain songs. The two together, in unison, made for an ideal blend.

The answer is complicated but in general once the Beatles were performing their own songs only, the principle songwriter would take the lead (except eight days a week, principally written by Paul but sang by John). Even in the case of A Day In The Life, John sang the parts that he had written only.

His teachers included Henry Cowell and Arnold Schoenberg, who were well known for radical innovations in music. His major influences; however, were in various East and South Asian cultures. Through studying Indian philosophy and Zen Buddhism, he became interested in aleatoric or chance-controlled music.

School was never his forte. He was completely terrible at math science English and all the other classes. It seemed that the only thing he was good at, was art. He always did love music though, and somehow got into an art college. Art can be painting, or music, and he loved both of them, so music was always his fate I guess.

They got married in 1969 and moved to New York a few years later. They started a band called The Plastic Ono Band. He left the music business in 1975 to raise his son. He decided to go back to doing music in 1980 but was shot outside his home around the time he started his career again.

For the record it's the Beatles not beetles. And he started them.

The Plastic Ono Band, with and without Yoko Ono.

Before he died he made the following non-compilation studio albums:

Two Virgins, Life With The Lions, The Wedding Album, Plastic Ono Band, Imagine, Sometime In New York City, Mind Games, Walls And Bridges, Rock & Roll, Double Fantasy. Some people would count Milk And Honey as it was nearly finished before he died.

John Lennon's father Alfred Lennon (1912-1976) abandoned Julia and john when he was an infant. Alfred was known to be very witty and musically inclined but not very dependable. John didn't see his father again until after he became famous. Alfred Lennon died of stomach cancer April 1, 1976.

John Lennon's mother Julia Lennon (1914-1958) was known to be very outgoing, high-spirited and as having a strong sense of humor. She taught John to play the ukulele and banjo, She also encouraged John to pursue music as a career. Although John lived with his aunt Mimi from the age of five, John stayed in contact with Julia and sometimes stayed overnight in her home until Julia was killed by a drunk off duty police officer July 15, 1958.

Jim McCartney died in 1976. His second wife started a talent agency; his stepdaughter Ruth became a singer. Paul McCartney reportedly has not spoken to either of them since, accusing them of trading in the family name.

Yes. The former lead singer of Creedence Clearwater Revival was recently honored at the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York. The 2010 baseball season marked the 25th anniversary of Fogerty's 1985 hit album "Centerfield." The title track has been played by numerous major-league and minor-league ballparks in the years since.

Fogerty performed "Centerfield" at the most recent Hall of Fame induction activities and donated his baseball-bat guitar to the museum.

John Lennon showed courage by facing the difficult times of his life. After all, it is hard being a famous rock star with millions of people looking up to you and expecting the most out of you. Lennon died a hero, proving to millions of people that violence is not the way to go.
