Happy 86th birthday to John Lennon!
The complex and lovely rebel. The talented musician and weird doodler. The owner of the most incredible voice
This is the man that we celebrate today just like when he was still with us and I imagine he’d have liked to know that 🤍
“I always set out to write a children’s book. I always wanted to write Alice in Wonderland. I think I still have that as a secret ambition. And I think I will do it when I’m older.” - John Lennon (1980)
“Well, I’m sure Brian was in love with John. I’m sure that’s absolutely right. I mean, everyone was in love with John; John was lovable, John was a very lovable guy.”
- Paul McCartney, from the book Linda McCartney: The Biography by Danny Fields
“Paul taught me how to play the guitar proper, but I had to learn the chords left-handed because Paul is left-handed. So I learned them upside down and I’d go home and reverse them. I can still play upside down, with the high strings on top.” - John Lennon, 1980
“He’d write something, screw up the bit of paper, throw it away and start again. He’d say, ‘You ought to pick these up Mimi, ‘cause I’m going to be famous one day and they’ll be worth something.’ That was when he was about 19 but I started picking them up too late.” - Mimi Smith
GQ magazine: Do you ever think about what relationship you’d have had with John Lennon if he'd stayed around?
Paul McCartney: Yeah. I think it would have just got better and better as we matured. I probably would have been able to tell him what a fan of his I was now.
“He looked good. I thought ‘He looks good, and he is singing good. He looks like a good lead singer’ and all of that. He had his glasses off, so he looked well suave without the glasses.”
- Paul McCartney about seeing John Lennon onstage for the first time on this day in 1957
