When were the Quarrymen formed?
one of the names of the Beatles, before they became the Beatles
John Lennon was the founder of the Quarrymen Band. He met up with a bunch of other boys and they formed a group. When John was about 15 yrs old, he met Paul McCartney in the audience of the gig they were showing. After the show, Paul went up to them and showed them how good he was. The gang was impressed and asked him if he would like to join the group. Paul replied yes, so due to that, the Quarrymen eventually changed their name to the Beatles when they met George Harrison.
Hmmm...Hope this helped.

Where when and how did John Lennon die?
On the evening of Monday, December 8, 1980, 40-year-old John Lennon was shot four times in the back (the fifth shot missed) in the entrance hallway of the Dakota, with hollow-point bullets from a Charter Arms .38 revolver, by Mark David Chapman. Lennon had autographed a copy of Double Fantasy for Chapman earlier that same night.
Two bullets struck Lennon in the lower back and two more in his left shoulder. All four wounds caused serious internal damage, and at least one of them pierced in Lennon's aorta. Lennon staggered up the four steps to the security/reception area and said "I'm shot" and collapsed. Concierge John Hastings at first thought it was a joke, but then summoned the police by hitting the silent alarm button.
Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival in the Emergency Room at the Roosevelt Hospital at 11:15 p.m. The cause of death was reported as hypovolemic shock, after losing more than 80% of blood volume.
On the following day, December 9, 1980, Lennon's wife Yoko Ono issued a statement: "There is no funeral for John. John loved and prayed for the human race. Please do the same for him. Love, Yoko and Sean." Instead of a funeral, ten minutes of silence was observed worldwide the following Sunday, December 14, at 2 p.m. ET.
Chapman later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years to life. He is still in prison, 27 years since his arrest, having been denied parole five times. (He became known to the surviving Beatles and their friends as "He whose name shall not be mentioned.")
Two days after his death, Lennon's body was cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York. The ashes have been said to be sprinkled around Strawberry Fields, as well as in personal possession by Yoko Ono. Yoko Ono kept his bloodstained glasses after he died.

Was John Lennon against the Vietnam War?

What kind of people were the Philistines?
Since Israel fought with them, and King David killed Goliath, I would say that they were barbaric. They probably believed and worshiped in many gods, being polytheistic.
According to the Bible, the Philistines worshiped the god Dagon (among many other deities, including Baal), as seen by the following passage:
2When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon.
3And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD. And they took Dagon, and set him in his place again.
4And when they arose early on the morrow morning, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD; and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him.
5Therefore neither the priests of Dagon, nor any that come into Dagon's house, tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod unto this day.
6But the hand of the LORD was heavy upon them of Ashdod, and he destroyed them, and smote them with emerods, even Ashdod and the coasts thereof.
7And when the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, The ark of the God of Israel shall not abide with us: for his hand is sore upon us, and upon Dagon our god.
Apparently they worshiped Ashtaroth and Baal-zebub (known as the 'god of Ekron - a Philistine city) as mentioned in the verses below.
However, no archaeological evidence whatsoever has been found to support this account of a Dagon-centric Philistine religion. This is not to say that there is no evidence for Dagon at all -- the deity is attested from Mesopotamia to Ugarit in Syria -- but there is no evidence for Dagon's place in the Philistine pantheon. Rather, the archaeological evidence for Philistine deities during Iron Age I (the biblical period) consists of small figurines of female deities and lion-shaped libation jugs -- nothing that would hint at a male supreme deity.
Teddy Roosevelt committed to environmental advocacy as a direct result of efforts by John Muir, one of the founders of the Sierra Club. He persuaded Roosevelt to come camping with him for a few days in Yosemite to gain appreciation for the cause. The trip had a positive effect and the president established the Muir Woods National Monument.
What was John Lennon's most famous song?

What is ah b'wakawa pouss pouss?
Gibberish from the song "#9 Dream". It has no real meaning. It supposedly came to John Lennon in a dream.
What were John Lennon's fears?
It depends on who you mean he was a threat to. John was truly no threat to anyone. However, the Nixon administration and the American government feared John's influence over Americans. John protested war and unfair incarcerations and he wasn't shy about speaking out. Nixon did his best to get John kicked out of the country but he couldn't. Only the government felt threatened by John. Everyone else loved him.
John Muir was a kind and loving man who cared for the wilderness. He was a man who was on the back of a California coin. He wrote about his feelings about nature and even problems. He had problems that people were cutting down trees because he knew that the trees were important to forests and animals even people. Muir wrote letters to our president Theodore Roosevelt. The president admired Muir's love of nature. Then they both went out on a 3 day camping trip and talked about conservation. President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land. Muir died on December 24,1914 and was born on April 21,1838. He made us understand the importance of protecting our world and our resources then and now and for the future.
