John Lennon

John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, Merseyside, England, and he died on December 8, 1980, in New York City from a series of fatal gunshots to the head. He was 5'11'',  and before becoming a member of the Beatles, he was in a band in high school called the Quarrymen. I find this person to be most inspirational. He basically says give peace a chance and I'm all for that!
