Whats the first name you think of when you here “The Beatles?” Paul Mcartney?, Ringo Starr? Barack Obama? Well, When I hear the Beatles I instantaneously think John Lennon, and i’m here to tell you why

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen, boy’s and girl’s, I’m here to talk to you about John Lennon! One of the worlds most competent music artists. John Winston Lennon was born on the 9th of October, 1940 during the Nazi bombing of Britain. During this war Winston Churchill was prime minister, and from that he got his middle name. John would later change his middle name to Ono. Oh No!

He grew up as a sarcastic and rebellious child, a kid that would be often referred to as “smart allec” He would take the mickey out of his fellow students and teachers, and would always backchat. Both of his parents had musical backgrounds, though neither of them ever took music seriously. John was sent to live with his Aunt Mimi after his parents split up, and there he bought his first guitar. John would spend countless hours playing his guitar prompting Aunt Mimi to state: “The guitars all very well as a hobby, John, But you’ll never make a living out of it” Years later, when the beetles became famous, he presented a platter to her, with that quote engraved on it.

On the evening of Monday, the eighth of December 1980, at the Dokota. John Lennon was shot four times in the back by a charter arms .38 revolver by a deranged fan. John burst into the ____ doors and yelled “I’m shot!!” and collapsed to the floor. He was rushed into hospital but they couldn’t save him. John Winston Ono Lennon was pronounced dead on the 8th of December, 1980, 10.45pm. It was, and still is, one of the worlds most tragic deaths.

The man that shot Lennon was Mark David Chapmen, a deranged fan that was described by his friends to be completely obsessed with The Beatles. Nobody really knows why he killed Lennon. Mark, who got turned down for _____ just recently, still believes to this date that he did the “right thing.” Mark had twice attempted to commit suicide and twice institutionalized before he murdered John Lennon.

The death sparked controversy all over the world about wether or not guns should be aloud to be sold to just anyone, and many protests were started. One of the things people were protesting about was the restriction on handguns.

According to WBBM tv channel two chicago, Walter Jacobson’s “perspective” If John had just stayed at his home in England, he would of never got shot. But since he moved to the U.S, the number one gun capital of the world, he was instantly in the danger of being murdered by a handgun. But Jacobson wasn’t alone in saying this, he had statistics and information to back his thoughts up. In the year ______ with no handguns available for the citizens or even the cops, there was only 418 murders, but in the United States, were you can get guns anywhere anytime, there were over 21,000 murders. In 1978, there was just over 1.9 Million handguns made in the U.S, and 9,000 citizens shot to death. In 1979, there were 2.2 million hand guns made, there were over 10,000 citizens shot to death. In 1980 over 2.4 million guns manufactured and consequently over 11,000 citizens shot to death. There had been attempts every year to outlaw the use of handguns in the U.S to the members of congress, but every year the NRA (National Rifle Association) would donate hundreds of thousands of dollars to the members of congress, and every year in the congress nothing would happen because thats how the congress works, in the words of Walter Jacobson, you got allot of bucks, you get a lot of votes.

So with all these controversies, of cause i was instantly interested in John Lennon’s character. ||
