John Lennon was a rock star, a school clown, a writer, a wit, an
iconoclast, a sometime peace activist and finally an eccentric
millionaire. He was also a Beatle - his plain-speaking and impudent
rejection of authority catching, and eloquently articulating, the
group's moment in history. Chronicling a troubled life, from that
of the cast-aside child of a broken wartime marriage to his murder
by a deranged fan, Being John Lennon analyses the contradictions in
the singer-songwriter's creative and destructive personality. A
leader who could be easily led, he was often generous and often
funny, but sometimes scathingly cruel. As a journalist, author Ray
Connolly had a close working relationship with Lennon, and the
entire Beatles coterie. In this biography he unsparingly reassesses
the chameleon nature of the perpetually dissatisfied star who just
couldn't stop reinventing himself. Drawing on many interviews and
conversations with Lennon, his first wife Cynthia and second Yoko
Ono, as well as his girlfriend May Pang and song-writing partner
Paul McCartney, this complex portrait is a revealing insight into a
restless man whose emotional turbulence governed his life and
talent.
