How did John Lennon of the Beatles die?
John Lennon

Members of the famous British rock band Beatles are one of the few people who have reached the peak of pop music. I come from a broken family and was raised by menstruation. John was fascinated by pop music since he was a child, and studied at Liverpool Art Institute in his early years. /kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, his mother died in a car accident, which left an indelible impression on John's mind.

People call him a rock soldier-a soldier who fights for the dream of love and peace, for an equal and free world, and for the perfect dream in his heart. But he is actually more like a child, a child with a dream. The child will never despair and will never be tired of his dreams. ...

John Lennon discovered more things than any pop singer, including Elvis Presley. As a member of the most successful band in the 20th century, he lived a rich life, but after experiencing the pain of band dissolution, he became richer ideologically and became angry. He and his wife Yoko Ono Lennon tried to save the world through non-musical means. For most people, they seem too outrageous. In particular, Yoko Ono Lennon, like the victim, has become the target of many people's attacks and abuse. Their "peace in bed" and naive and reckless pandering to political radicals have become the focus of media attention. They did it in pursuit of peace, but unfortunately, none of them succeeded. But where did Lennon succeed? That is, the idea of pursuing world peace has been deeply engraved in people's minds. In the Gulf War of 199 1, the national leaders who opposed the war unconsciously used Lennon's lyrics "Give peace a chance". When members of Plastic Ono Band recorded this song in Laraine Mansion, of course, they didn't expect this song to be of such great significance, but since the release of 1969, this song has become a very spiritual song.

From 65438 to 0968, John's marriage with his wife Cynthia broke up, and then he met Yoko Ono Lennon, an experimental artist in new york. They got married in Gibraltar on 1969. After John Lennon's life was combined with Yoko Ono Lennon's, he entered the indifferent creative world of real artists and returned to the true nature of human cultural course. John Lennon in the Beatles' period was a brilliant winner of the "accidental God-making Movement". Thanks to his lucky care, The Beatles became the most influential singing group and the most talented artist in the history of rock music. They changed the people of a whole era, casting their own music in the life memory of that generation of young people and melting history into music. Is this brilliance the ultimate recognition of artistic achievements? I doubt John Lennon thinks so. In the second half of his artistic career, the "restless" Beatle leader began the rebirth of his musical life with secular contempt and incomprehension.

Yoko Ono Lennon, a woman who has been with John Lennon since then, can't help using pens and ink here. 1933 February 18 was born in a traditional Japanese family in Tokyo. 14 years old moved to new york. In the early 1960s, she was brilliant in literature, philosophy and film creation, and was the man of the hour on the avant-garde art stage in new york at that time. /kloc-published the famous poem "Grapefruit" in 0/970, and directed the films "Deification" and "Flying" in the same year, and was selected as the representative works of avant-garde films to attend the Cannes Film Festival in France. She is good at creating artistic events, disturbing people's habitual thinking and questioning the existing world outlook. 1March 20th, 969, after they got married, they began to try performance art and explore personal music. They flew to Vienna, where they invented a novel way of communication-holding a press conference in a big pocket, which John called "impartial and comprehensive communication"; They travel around the world and strive for world peace by "petitioning in bed"; Hand in hand, they took photos of the bare inserts and put them in the copy of the new record. John's exhibition was grotesque and the police intervened. He will also cut hair and raise money for the "Black Panther Party" (a radical black organization in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s, which advocated violence for racial equality) ... These behaviors are puzzling and alarming. They watched helplessly as a weak but too opinionated yellow woman took her rock emperor out of her old "home", which was unacceptable and frightening. Attacks and accusations followed, and John Lennon appeared more and more in the social pages of newspapers instead of the original music column. However, the beginning of a new life made John retreat from his idol position surrounded by flowers and applause. He practiced his soul in the artistic world of music, painting and poetry. The secular shadow endowed him with a heavy tragic consciousness and rich life experience. 1969, he and Yoko formed the Plastic Ono Band, with members including eric clapton and Alan White, and created masterpieces such as Give Peace a Chance and Cold Turkey.

In 1970s, John Lennon and Yoko Ono Lennon settled in Greenwich Village, New York, and continued their music and artistic creation. His songs no longer disturb the changes of the charts at will, but are profound from the heart and reproduce the most restrained and historically shocking things in rock music. Band album John Lennon-Plastic Ono Band and solo albums Imagination, Mind Games, Walls and Bridges, Haircut Fish, Rock 'N 'Roll and Double Fantasy. For the first time, he sang his childhood and his lost mother freely and sincerely in music, became a ridiculous plastic idol and sang a world controlled by greed and prejudice. Of course, the most immortal work is the imaginative album 197 1 released in June. John Lennon practiced sadness and despair in the dual world with the compassionate temperament of the wise and the simple and sentimental feelings in his music. 1On the evening of February 8, 980, John was shot dead by a crazy gunman in front of his apartment in Manhattan on his way home after playing the guitar for Yoko's song "Walking on Thin Ice". His death shocked the world. This is the biggest funeral since Kennedy, and his death also represents the end of a rock era.

John Lennon's life seems to have experienced two times. His brilliant idol career and plain artistic road injected completely different experiences into his life, so his death seems to be a trick from heaven, as if it were arranged by heaven. The glory of the first half of life settled the family in the long river of history, and the piety and persistence of the second half of life really spread the immortal wisdom and piety. Although the Beatles' works, such as Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Club Band, created the greatest creativity and the most unforgettable music in the history of rock music and record industry, they did not just stay at the exaggerated and frivolous level of idol music, but were like spoiled smart children who were willing to be praised easily by others (any revolutionary and pioneering significance of "Beatles" music could not hide their self-righteous pride). Only John Lennon really attributed his religious piety to art, and he had the wisdom and courage to give up glory. He was willing to be as calm and pious as a priest. In his later years, his final departure really endowed rock music with the meaning of introversion and compassion. Remember John Lennon and listen to his music.
