McCartney Times

John Lennon was born 80 years ago today in Liverpool, England..

During his all-too-short lifetime, Lennon reinvented popular music with the Beatles and later as a solo artist. His genius was behind such songs as “Come Together”, “Strawberry Fields Forever” and “Imagine”. At times, he was a controversial figure: Off-handedly saying his band was “More popular than Jesus” in 1966 and protesting war by staging a pair of weeklong Bed-Ins for Peace in 1969 with wife Yoko Ono. He’s remembered as one of the most influential figures of pop culture.

In honor of what would have been Lennon’s 80th birthday, we’ve compiled 80 quotes and lyrics attributed to the late rock icon.

Enjoy, and remember.
