John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 in Liverpool, England’s port city. Her mother, Julia, was a worker, and her father, Alfred, was a sailor
Julia’s trail in her son, in her songs
John saw his father only twice until he was 20 years old. He recognized his mother when he was in high school. But when John was only 17, Julia died in a car accident. Lennon named his son Julian, who was born from his first wife, Cynthia Powell, in his memory. He wrote Julia for his mother.
When He want to impress her mother
Lennon was playing harmonica in his childhood, but his aunt gifted his first guitar when his nephew was 15 years old. Moreover, hoping that he will get bored in a short time and playing the guitar, saying that he cannot live his life.
But Mimi didn’t hope. Lennon’s love of Rock, his mother Julia, whom he had just known in this passion for music, and the admiration of Elvis had a big impact.
The first Band The Quarrymen
Lennon founded his first band, The Quarrymen, in 1957 with Pete Shotton. Later, Bill Smith, Paul McCartney and George Harrison joined the group.
The Quarrymen entered the studio in 1958, and McCartney / Harrison composed a demo of the song “In Spite of All the Danger” and a cover called “That’ll Be The Day”. The group disbanded in 1959.
And The Beatles are being established
When John graduated from high school, he went to Liverpool Art School, where he met his first wife, Cynthia. He was still friends with McCartney. When the two reunited, Harrison joined the group.
McCartney and Lennon persuaded his friends Stu Sutcliffe to play the bass in the new band, although he was more capable of painting. Thus, the new band, known as The Sickless and The Silver Beatles, finally became The Beatles in July 1960.
Lucy is 3.2 million years old
Although it is rumored that LSD was implied with the initials of Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds, Lennon denied this. Australopithecus Afarensis, a fossil named primate found by Donald Johanson, who lived 3.2 million years ago, was named Lucy for this song.
Avant-garde and unfaithful marriage
John Lennon met avant-garde artist Yoko Ono at the Indica Gallery in London in 1966. Ono was the daughter of an aristocratic Japanese family who studied college in America.
He was seven years older than Lennon. Yoko was too reluctant to say to Lennon, “You’re not ready yet.” The couple married on March 20, 1969 at The Rock Hotel in Gibraltar. In 1975, he had a child named Sean from Yoko.
He wrote books and appeared on the big screen
Lennon was so productive that he didn’t just make music; wrote, drew, played. He published his books In His Own Write in 1964 and A Spaniard in the Works in 1965.
Two years later, the anti-war comedy directed by Richard Lester, How I Won The War? He was on the screen with (How Did I Win the War?). After this film, he made A Hard Day’s Night, Help, Magical Mystery Tour and animation Yellow Submarine with The Beatles members.
