Thesis Statement

In a world in turmoil, a new generation rose up and took a stand against conformity, the estableshment, and "the Man". This generation was brought to life, and pushed forward by inspirational people. Possibly the most influential person of this time was the great artist, John Lennon. John Lennon was a hero of the Countercultural Revolution. His music protested changed society as a whole. His songs protested the controversial Vietnam War, His words fueled a growing sexual revolution, and his death brought a nation to tears. He was the mopst influential of his time, he proves it by the songs he wrote, and the words he said.

Fourth Annotation Information

This was an article written recently by Phi8lip Norman. It is also in his Biography of John Lennon John Lennon: The Life. It shows a darker side to John Lennon. It talks about his adultery, fraud, self-indulgence, ruthlessness, etc.

I chose this article because it gives an opposing side to what we thought was John Lennon's nature. It also gives me a more in depth understanding of John Lennon.
