john Lydon(u1)

One great singer said "people don't like other poor people, and rather than blame the people that make you all poor you blame each other". This quote is from the head singer on the sex pistols John Lydon. John Lydon and the Sex pistols changed rock and roll with their punk rock music in Britain. John was born January 31, 1956, in London England. When John Lydon was in school he was very smart but like all great rockers he was very rebellious too. He got kicked out of college but actually that was very good for him because when he enrolled at a different school he meet john Ritchie   and they become best friends and also members of the sex pistols together. In the early 1970's they were trying to form their band and by 1975 the band the sex pistol. After a few years went by the band became very well-known because they are the first band to introduce punk rock to Britain. The band had a lot of success and John Lydon was called Johnny rotten because of him having really bad teeth. Some of the songs from the sex pistols were God Save the Queen, holidays in the sun, you did no wrong, problems and silly things. One of their albums that made it to the top of the music listen and that album was never mind the bollocks… here’s the sex pistols.  The sex pistols  were a very popular  band for like 30 years  and they will never be forgotten  in rock and roll history.

John Lennon is one  of the greatest rock and roll artist of all time! He was in one of the one of the greatest bands in history the Beatles! This all started out when John Winston Ono Lennon  was born October 9,1940 in Liverpool England. When John was very young  he had some what a hard life when he was only 4 years old his parents split up and he had to live with his aunt. When he lived at his aunt's house his  mother visited  him and taught him how to play the banjo and the piano. After learning those instruments he wanted to play the guitar so he bought his first guitar! When john Lennon was in grade school he really didn't like school much at all  so he fooled around a lot and got in trouble. When he graduated  from high school he went to college but that didn't last long at all but it wasn't all bad  for john even though he wasn't good at school  he was music gifted. Then one day  it was like any other day for john  in was 1957 and  he was church and then his world got turned upside down when he meet Paul McCarty. After that day john life was never the same and this was the start  for one of the best bands in rock and roll history!  The band they formed  was the Beatles and they were a huge hit in Britain and they were also a huge hit in the united states! The Beatles had a lot of great songs some of their songs  were I want to hold your hand, let it be, penny lane strawberry fields forever, While my guitar gentle weeps, and drive my car. There is many more songs that was great by the Beatles they honestly might be the greatest band in rock and roll history. Everyone loved this band they even had Beatles mania when they went on the Ed sullivon show that was a huge part in the Beatles  history. They were just such a great band  and they lasted together  for like 10 years  then a women got into john Lennon life   her name was Yoko mono. Even though john Lennon her in love with this girl I feel like this is the worst thing to happen to John Lennon in his life because  She   took John away from one of the greatest bands ever.  Imagine how much more success The Beatles would have had if they would have been together longer.  After  he left the Beatles  John Lennon started  a solo career  and he had a lot of success with it too! In 1970  John Lennon released  his solo album  and it was a great album because he released one of the greatest songs ever and that song was called Image. The song is just so amazing and it just makes you think about life. The song Imagine after  it was released and everyone loved it, it was  put on the greatest songs of all time by the rolling stone and it was number 3! Everything was going great in John Lennon life’s  everything  seemed to be going perfect until he released  A single song called  just like starting over . Then   something really awful happened to john Lennon after a few weeks of writing that song  he was murdered in a hotel  getting shot by a gun. Even though John lived a very successful  life. 40 years old is way too young to die he still had a lot more to live for.  Some big accomplishments in John Lennon life were when he was inducted into the  rock and roll hall of fame in 1994 and he was also inducted into the songwriter hall of  fame in 1987!
