On October 9, I'd like to share my favourite story about John Lennon.
When John was five, his teacher asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
"Happy," he said.
"I don't think you understand the question," she said.
"I don't think you understand the answer," he replied.
That's lovely. And I love "Imagine."
ReplyDeleteImagine all the people living life in peace. How beautiful.
Love,
Janie
When I saw Stevie Wonder in concert for the second time, it was on October 9, 2015, John Lennon's birthday. He sang "Imagine" but broke into tears partway through. The audience had no trouble in singing along for him. :-)
DeleteThat's Wonder-ful.
DeleteJohn Lennon had many excellent quotes. And I love that song! ♥
ReplyDeleteHe wasn't my favourite Beatle--Paul was--but he did write some great songs solo, and that is a good example.
DeleteVery good. I don't know if this is lore or a true thing he said, but I will remember it 💓
ReplyDeleteIt fits in with his personality, so I believe he said it.
