The Best Beatle Of ALL!!!

Hmmm....Who is my favorite Beatle and why? I really don't have a favorite Beatle so I will just pick one and pretend....

Looks like someone has already delved into this subject - check out this blog about who is the favorite Beatle.

I think that poor ol' John Lennon is my favorite - poor ol' guy was assassinated. This is pretty interesting, watch the 1980 MyFox New York coverage of this tragic event.


OK - back to John Lennon....what are some of his life events? Here are some links:







First of all, he was born

His childhood

As a teenager

FINALLY a Beatle!

First concert in USA

So this still doesn't convince you that he is/was the best Beatle....let's look at some facts about his life.

He was successful not only musically, but also in art and literature. You can check out this website to see some of his artwork.
He was a musician, song writer, (Listen to some of his
songs for free) poet, artist, and a philosopher. He spoke out against such things as inequality and the Vietnam War.

Did these qualities make John Lennon "the best Beatle"? Did they make the best singer, song writer, the best hsuband, the best man, the best human being?

What makes a person "the best"? What qualities make one person stand out among all the others?

Think on this, think about it as you go through your day tomorrow, think about it as you interact with your classmates, friends, strangers...think about it....Do YOU have these qualities? Are the qualities subjective? Think about it and let me know your feelings and ideas.....just think
