Imagine a world with no John Lennon. Born 9 October 1940 in
Liverpool, John Lennon was a walking, talking, quote machine. Every
time he opened his mouth, genius fell out. To celebrate this
simple, glorious truth, The Little Book of John Lennon is here to
remind you what a legend sounds like. From his days down in the
dumps as a Liverpudlian scamp to his tenure in the world's greatest
beat combo to his post-Beatles bed-ins and living for peace, love
and understanding, The Little Book of John Lennon speaks the truth
as Lennon himself lived it. Imagine a world with no John Lennon -
it's easy if you try. But, why in the world would you want to? This
is John Lennon at his best, and in his own words. 'If everyone
demanded peace instead of another television set, then there'd be
peace.' John talking about materialism and peace. As seen on
Independent.co.uk, December 8, 2016, by Clarisse Loughrey. 'We live
in a world we have to hide to make love, while violence is
practiced in broad daylight.' John talking about the 1970s and the
Vietnam War. As seen on Irish Post, October 2009, by Jack
Beresford. 'I've always considered my work one piece and I consider
that my work won't be finished until I am dead and buried and I
hope that's a long, long time.' John discussing his legacy while
being interviewed on RKO Radio, December 8, 1980 (the day he was
murdered). As seen on Beatles Archive.net, December 21, 2013.
