John Lennon believed in peace. But, one day a fan shot him. People gathered in an area and stood there...just stood. Remembering John Lennon. John Lennon wanted peace and happiness to every soul.

John Lennon thought we should rather live our lives in a way where death isn't looked at as a sad thing, but in a way where it's our time to pass on what that person represented. That's how life flows on within us and without us. And yes, i may be just some kid who gets high and listens to the Beatles, but the reason y is because of all their beliefs. I read in a book that when Julia Lennon got hit by a car, John's thoughts weren't as much sad as they were relieved that it wasn't him.

i hope that all made sense but peace! i gotta go to chemistry

How many songs do The Beatles have?

There are 275 BeaTles songs. Below is a list:

17- Abbey Road

14- Beatles For Sale

1- Free As A Bird (included for it is a 1995 single the Beatles released w/ strong John Lennon presence on the track. John also wrote the song. Excluded is the B side which is a Xmas song, because that's a seasonal track)

13- A Hard Day's Night

14- Help!

12- Let It Be

55- Live At The BBC (1994 release. Removing the speeches from the album gets 69 tracks down to 55 songs. John Lennon wasn't alive during this albums release, but since its obviously amazing songs, in mono, that were originally played live on the radio, John Lennon would most likely have approved of its release).

11- Magical Mystery Tour

33- Singles released during the Beatles reign (available on "Past Masters" or a combination of 30 songs from "Mono Masters" & 3 from "Past Masters" excluding the 4 Yellow Submarine tracks from "Mono Masters", and all but 3 from "Past Masters if you combined Mono+Past Masters).

14- Please Please Me

2- Real Love (This song is the last Beatles single. It was released in 1996. Like Free As A Bird , this song has a strong John Lennon Presence and was written by John Lennon. The B side is "Baby's In Black" live 'edited' track from two performances at the Hollywood Bowl by the Beatles, which John Lennon would have approved, because, released in the '70s on vinyl but not yet on CD is a Beatles album "Live At The Hollywood Bowl" which does not include the track, but since John approved the others on the album, it is most likely he would approve this track as well).

14- Revolver

14-Rubber Soul

13- Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

30- (The Beatles/White Album)

14- With The Beatles

4- Yellow Submarine (Excluded from this number are the two duplicate tracks "Yellow Submarine" & "All You Need Is Love" from Revolver & Magical Mystery Tour, & also the classical style soundtracks from the Beatles film/cartoon called Yellow Submarine)

---

Total songs: 275

First, some people may notice that there are indeed some "duplicates" that occur from the number of 275, which are: All My Loving/Baby's In Black/Can't Buy Me Love/Dizzy Miss Lizzy/Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby/A Hard Day's Night/I Saw Her Standing There/I Wanna Be Your Man/I'm A Loser/Let It Be/Long Tall Sally/Love Me Do/Matchbox/Roll Over Beetoven/A Taste Of Honey/Things We Said Today/Til There Was You...

...but, these "duplicate" song performances each have their own unique sound. Also, it should be noted that if Live At The Hollywood Bowl is ever fully officially released by Capitol records on CD/digitally, then to the list we would add the 13 songs on that album for a total of 288 songs (with those 13 being very unique "duplicate" performances)...

...also, in the singles collection you will hear two non English songs, unique performances, in German, of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" & "She Loves You."

Finally...

If you are a hard core Beatles fan there are several more songs and albums released after the passing of John Lennon. Such as the Anthologies 1, 2, 3, Let It Be... Naked, & Love. Also, listening to the Beatles as solo artist, and the various collaborations between them after "The Beatles" broke up, John, Paul, George, & Ringo is a great addition to feed a love for the Beatles.

Also, if you bought the Beatles on iTunes & love the Beatles, but don't have "Free As A Bird" & the "Real Love" singles, it would be in for your enjoyment that you obtain a copy of them, they should be easy to find. Finding Live At The BBC CD should not be hard either.

Overall, the list above and the number 275 is a good current list & number that answers the question "how many Beatles songs are there?" Listening to them will really let you hear the BeaTles and understand why they are so amazing! (last edit: 07/20/11)

When did John Lennon become dyslexic?

What did john lennon do on his spare time?

John Lennon was sometimes considered the first Beatle, or the 'Main Beatle' or whatever you would like to call it.

Before the true 'Beatles' were formed, John formed a band he called the Quarrymen. It consisted of 5 members: John, Paul, George, Pete Best, and Stu Sutcliffe. Stu left while they were in Germany, and Pete was fired!

Then John found Ringo and thus was born The Beatles!

He sang the most songs out of them all, actually 103 of their songs, while McCartney only 84. Lennon played guitar, piano, sang (of course) harmonica, and probably many more!

After they broke up, he released an album with his wife, Yoko Ono which I believe was called 'The Plastic Ono Band'.

A few years later they had a son, Sean Lennon, and John left his music career for five years to take care of his son and actually be a father.

When he finally came back to his music, John released some albums, and in 1980, very sadly, he was shot one night 5 times in the back. He died around 10:30 that night.

Was John Lennon a Jew?

No. Their manager Brian Epstein was Jewish, and Linda Eastman (daughter of Lee Eastman, show-business attorney who became both Paul McCartney's business manager) was also. Ringo Starr was sometimes mistaken for Jewish, because of his nose; he laughed at the stereotype.

The Beatles themselves were in no way Jewish. The following excerpt was taken from wikipedia: "McCartney was baptised Roman Catholic but was raised non-denominationally: his mother was Roman Catholic, and his father, James "Jim" McCartney, was a Protestant turned agnostic." George converted to Hinduism. The only Jew associated with The Beatles was their manager, Brian Epstein.

Technically Ringo Starr is Jewish (his mother was of Jewish origin)
