John Lennon

John Winston Lennon born 9 October 1940 still lives in the souls of those who belive and hope in the freedom of expression. Today we celebrate 68 years from his birth.



What made Lennon so special to me? Not only that he was a Libra (as I am) - but that's a superficial explanation - but his thinking, the way he expressed himself, the "I don't care what others think about me" attitude, his songs. I love very much his songs after the Lost weekend like Woman (also the video).

An artist - that's the word to describe Jhon Lennon - an artist whose work considered controversial was blamed by ones (like for this lyrics in God: God is a concept by which we measure our pain [...] I don't believe in Elvis,I don't believe in Zimmerman,I don't believe in Beatles,I just believe in me)and boasted by others (Imagine there's no countries, It isn't hard to do, Nothing to kill or die for, And no religion too, Imagine all the people, Living life in peace.../ You may say I'm a dreamer, But I'm not the only one, I hope someday you'll join us, And the world will be as one).



He was and still is through his work my ideea of keep hoping and never give up.
