He was born in England during World War 2. His mother inspired him to play music and learn instruments. As an adult, Lennon married Cynthia Powell and they had one son together. Powell and Lennon later divorced in 1968. He eventually remarried in 1969, an artist named, Yoko Ono. They also had one son together. Eventually his wife and him moved to the United States. Unfortunately, Lennon had previous drug charges so, he was continuously facing deportation. After the birth of his second son, Lennon decided to leave the music industry to be a better father. In 1980, Lennon did return to play music. Unfortunately, after his next album released, he was killed by a mental fan. He died on December 8, 1980 and was 40 years old.]]> 2023-10-03 00:24:32 UTC https://padlet.com/agwaters2/4gmsd1vtn7pei9s0/wish/2729409005 agwaters2 https://padlet.com/agwaters2/4gmsd1vtn7pei9s0/wish/2729415517 John Lennon released one of his most famous Albums, "Imagine" on October 11, 1971. This song was released during the Vietnam War so the audience was people that wanted the war to end. The song style was a rock/pop genre. Song wanted it's listeners to think about sharing the world and having peace for everyone.]]> 2023-10-03 00:31:22 UTC https://padlet.com/agwaters2/4gmsd1vtn7pei9s0/wish/2729415517 agwaters2 https://padlet.com/agwaters2/4gmsd1vtn7pei9s0/wish/2729422189 Imagine was written during the Vietnam War. The song uses emotion to reach it's listeners. The lyrics emphasize peace and sharing a world together in harmony. The goal of the song was to end the Vietnam War. The song envisioned a Utopian world. This section was influenced by his wife, Yoko Ono. Lennon is hoping his listeners are people filled with love, happiness, and hope. The lyrics try to remove all instigators of world issues and imagine a world without them. For instance, no hell, no religion and no materialistic items. They see the world as one family working together and all the countries support eachother. Again, this song is all about hope and imaging this type of environment. This inspiration came from being surrounded by a war with death and financial loss. It's words gave listeners positive direction.]]> 2023-10-03 00:39:36 UTC https://padlet.com/agwaters2/4gmsd1vtn7pei9s0/wish/2729422189 agwaters2 https://padlet.com/agwaters2/4gmsd1vtn7pei9s0/wish/2729429011 I have never lived during a time of war but, I do see how this song could be very effective during this time. A period of war is dark and negative. I would think that people would grasp onto every bit of hope they can find. The song, Imagine, is a soft song that helps relax people. I completely agree with the lyrics of the song. I think removing stressors like religion and money, the world would be a better place. People would be able to unite based on friendship and not look for conflict among eachother. Some people might not agree with this song because, it isn't realistic. The world will never exist without money and religion and they can't picture this in their minds. ]]> 2023-10-03 00:47:57 UTC https://padlet.com/agwaters2/4gmsd1vtn7pei9s0/wish/2729429011
