Lennon Asked To: "give Peace A Chance"

He dreamed of world peace. He was an artist, poet and voice of the hippie generation explicit. He was an influential musician, a peace activist, an absent father and a loving and devoted husband. The abuse of alcohol and drugs, sneered at normality, but has taken time off from his career as a rock and roll to raise the child. But above all, he was a Beatle. It was and still is, John Winston Lennon. Born in Liverpool, October 9, 1940, John Lennon was murdered on 8 December 1980 by a fanatical fans. December 8, 2005 marks the 25th anniversary of the tragic loss of meaning. There are many words to describe John Lennon. People was a young and rebellious, stubborn and disobedient in crisis. Failed to art school, but swore to her aunt that "one of these days I'll be famous and you'll be sorry." He called himself a leader, but he made some of his best work alone. It was an alleged wife beater, very frank, often outside of quotes contoversial to the media, both to make a point or simply to be extravagant. But when he spoke, people listened. He was a partner with his childhood friend, Paul McCartney and together they left a music partnership in writing and a heritage that is unique in this day and can never be. The Beatles, with their producer George Martin, the music has changed drastically, with the study techniques that had never been tried. They were the first concept album "Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band", the editors of the list of Rolling Stone as the greatest album rock era. He had the attention of our government with protests against the war and at one point was under FBI investigation. He sang of love and peace and live in harmony with all people coming together as one. There are some who called him a genius. Could be bad, hateful and cruel. He fought his demons and it seems like a winner, until 8 December 1980. We can only recall his career from start to finish and does not know the story of four boys from Liverpool. He was a member of the group that changed the history of rock and roll. We can not help but wonder what John Lennon would have done if he were alive today. How is active in promoting peace in the world? Would still create wonderful art of rock and roll? All we can do is imagine, and that is the shame of it all.
