* (Just Like) Starting Over
* Woman
* Imagine
Although the toward well in Beatles and later I eat soloist, I suppose that he/she had more sympathy with the quartet of Liverpool, accidentally the day before yesterday I could watch a biographical movie about Paul McCartney, which was very good and with a dramatic (Linda's death McCartney because of the cancer) end, jumping that part will speak of the parts where it exitted John, good in fact they were not many but I don't know if it will have been based faithfully on the truth but they painted John Lennon like a type that it lost the control easily, ending up breaking the window of Paul's house because this it had sued to the members of the band, to part of in another scene he/she enters to Paul's house and it breaks up a box with a drawing made by John Lennon, to part that he/she walked always accompanied by Yoko Ono, this if I believe that it is certain, anyway fué a great type, although something of rivalry was noted between both.
BIOGRAPHY
John Winston Lennon was born October 9 1940 in Liverpool during a bombing of punishment of the Nazi aviation.
Their father was a merchant called sailor Alfred Freddy Lennon, when Lennon was born its father it was in high seas and very rarely it was at home.
John step their years of childhood with their mother Julia Stanley which took a rhythm of very scatterbrained life, because he liked the drink a lot and it frequented the pubs where it had soldered. In fact he/she had a daughter outside of the marriage the one that gave in adoption.
After having a strong discussion John's parents, these they outlined to the petty one that chooses to leave with one of both. And before such a dilemma he/she decided to leave with their mother.
But if young John hoped to stay a lot of time with his mother he made a mistake, since the abnormality of the life tames of its mother it was determinant to give it to its aunt Mimi so that raises him.
The aunt Mimi and the uncle George lived in the flanked suburbs of physicians and other professionals. Their uncle George was proprietary of rented accommodations and of a dairy, and they had a gardener that went twice a week.
But petty John's uncles were not rich, because they had to accomodate medicine students to raise the earnings of the family.
When John was seventeen years old he had the tragic notice that his mother had died run over by a car that that serious for the petty one a great one lost, of which never overcame. ( In fact the beautiful ballad that he/she wrote later ten years "Julia" or in their first album in solitary "Mother").
Being in the school of secondary Quarry Bank hears a disk of Elvis and this undoubtedly the it won't be less, for what I form with their gang the called group Quarry Men in which was their friend Peter.
And being acting in a social meeting in the gardens of the church St. Peter a friend common of John and Paul enter them, this serious the day June 6 1957.
After hearing John to play, Paul is impressed and like he said Paul later on (I Thought: oh it is good), but was being heard to play I reciprocate, because John when checking like Paul that was much better than those that taenia in the group outlines a great dilemma to John played (if I catch him/her and me until then the main of the group That would happen was? ) but its decision to strengthen the group could more and to final Paul I enter to be part of Quarry Men.

John knew Cynthia Powell of the art school and which was strained by John began to exit together and years later would marry.
After having a splendid stage in judicial actions I arrive the decadence and while Stu and John shuffled different names for the group, to Stu he/she was happened to put Beetles (scarabs) but John quickly I transform it in Beatles (the rhythmic ones), this name was shorter catching that the previous ones. After many judicial actions in Hamburg would know Astrid Kircherr which was the creator of the hairstyle of Beatles. The judicial actions were happened and to the being a little more famous the owner of an important store of disks Brian Epstein concerted an interview with Beatles in its store to offer them that serious its representative. This happened December 3 1961.
After recording some plain ones in Hamburg, Brian got some recording sessions in EMI being to the front producing George Martin that when hearing them play wise that could take out something good of that group, but what he didn't like was the form of playing the battery of Pete Best for what suggested that they would have to change battery and it was this way. August of 1962 Ringo 18 serious Starr the new member of The Beatles.
Already with the four absolute members they would record their first plain (Love me do and PSI Love you) with enough success. But November 26 would record their plain (Please, Please Me) second their first world great success and the beginning of a landmark THE BEATLES.
John taenia the custom of going causing some grace or some insinuation, in fact when Command acted in Royal Performace before the Queen mother the day December 4 to the I end of a song he/she said: (Those that occupy those the cheapest seats, have the kindness to applaud. The remainder can make sound its jewels. )
In March of 65 John in an interview that granted, one of the journalists Maureen Cleave asks him/her on its religious opinion and he/she said: The Christianity will disappear. He/she will disappear or he/she will dwarf. We, now, are more popular than Jesus Christ.
Not I know what it will disappear before, if the rock'n'roll or the Christianity. For this sentence in U.S. he/she was organized a monumental scandal.
November of 1966 John 9 know Yoko Ono in Indian Gallery of London and they would coincide in more places. John found in Yoko the support that he needed in his ups and downs of character that taenia, post-mortem of Brian that was the one that better it controlled John's character, this he collapsed.
Months later the one that was wife of John starts the you process of divorce after six exact years of marriage. And in April of 69 John he/she marries Yoko in Gibraltar and in 1975 his second son, call would be born they are. The first son had it with his previous wife
