JOHN LENNON

BIO >>

John Lennon has been exhumed in print more than any other popular musical figure. Such was the cutting wit of a deeply loved and sadly missed giant of the twentieth century. As a member of the world's most successful group ever, The Beatles, he changed lives, mostly for the better. Following the painful collapse of the Beatles, he came out a wiser but angrier person. Together with his wife Yoko Ono, he attempted to transform the world through non-musical means. Official Website: thebeatles.com


QUOTES >>

"Lennon and McCartney were the greatest songwriters who ever lived, and you're just a ding-brain if you don't think so."
-- Tori; Musician Magazine, May 1997

My first celebrity crush: "It was definately between Jim Morrison, Robert Plant and John Lennon: I liked a man with a mind, but it's not as if they're abhorrent to look at. I think Robert's passion made him, Jim Morrison had an aura about him, and you had to be in love with John lennon's mind. I thought they were all equally sexy."
-- Tori; UK Boyz Magazine, Oct 12, 2002

"I was really into John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix; in their opinion, they were 'not worthy'. Unless it was Chopin and Mozart, they (Peabody Conservatory) didn't wanna know. Then I came and played John Lennon, and they said, this is unacceptable --- and I said, if Mozart were alive today, he'd have listened to John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix; they totally messed up, so I got kicked out."
-- Tori; Elf 99 Interview

"There are high points, there are things that you hear where you go...and a person who has a direct line to the creative source. I felt that with John Lennon, and with Joni Mitchell's early stuff and with Jimnmy Page. There are many other musicisn who have that..Jim Morrison, the Stones, huge groups of people, Stevie Wonder...but my big (more) influences were John Lennon, Jimmy Page and Joni Mitchell."
