John Lennon Quotes<\/a> On Love, Life, And Peace. Lennon was born on October 9th, 1940 in Liverpool, the UK to Julia and Alfred Lennon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was a singer, songwriter, and peace campaigner. Together with Paul McCartney, he founded the Beatles \u2013 probably the first rock n\u2019 roll band in the world.<\/p>\n

The Beatles were shot to stardom in the 1960s when George Harrison and Ringo Starr joined in. After the group disbanded in 1970, Lennon pursued a sporadic solo career and started the band Plastic Ono Band with his second wife Yoko Ono.<\/p>\n

As a teenager, Lennon was fond of skiffle \u2013 \u00a0a crazy mixture of jazz, blues, folk, and American folk.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In 1956, he received his first guitar from his mother, Julia. Two years later she was struck and killed by a car as she was walking home from visiting some relatives. At the age of 17, Lennon formed his first band the Quarrymen<\/a> along with Rod Davis, Len Garry, Colin Hanton, John Duff Lowe, and Chas Newby. Two years later the Beatles came on the stage.<\/p>\n

Rebellious as he was, Lennon wasn\u2019t fond of formal education.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Not surprisingly, he was thrown out of the Liverpool Art College for inappropriate dress code.<\/p>\n

Lennon first met Paul McCartney at the Quarrymen\u2019s second gig and the two took to each other at once. John Lennon then asked McCartney to join the band. At the age of 18, John authored his first song, \u201cHello Little Girl\u201d. Five years later, it made it to the UK top 10.<\/p>\n

McCartney\u2019s friend, guitarist George Harrison, was the third Beatle to join the Quarrymen. Lennon, McCartney, Harrison, and Sutcliffe evolved into \u201cThe Beatles\u201d at the beginning of 1960.<\/p>\n

McCartney took over on bass after Sutcliffe decided to stay in Hamburg following their German tour, and Ringo Starr joined in in the place of Pete Best.<\/p>\n

It took the newly-formed band only three years to occupy the top places in virtually all music charts in the UK and their ambitions were already spreading across the Atlantic. The next year, Lennon, Harrison, McCartney, and Starr appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show in the USA.<\/p>\n

The two years after were exhausting as they were constantly on tour and had to expand their repertoire while traveling from one show to the next. During that time John Lennon managed to write two books,\u00a0In His Own Write<\/a><\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0A Spaniard in the Works<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

The man who struggled for peace and love all his life died a violent death in 1980 but his words live forever in quotes which you will find below;<\/strong><\/p>\n
