Good evening! I’m John. John Winston Lennon. Actually I’m dead. I was shot dead in front of my sweet home by a fan. The last thing I heard was my dear wife screaming for help.
Is there anybody going to listen to my history? Well, well…let me take a little bit of your great lives...
I was born on October 9th 1940 at Liverpool. My parents…parents…were Julia and Alfred. Fortunately, I lived all my childhood and teenage with my beloved aunt Mimi. She gave to me my first electric guitar.
Then I grow up strong and brave, weak and vulnerable. I was divided into to be Marlon Brando or a sensitive poet. People wanted I was loving. I couldn’t be. I never was.
I was a big rocker. I left everything when I heard Heartbreak Hotel. And when I listened to Long Tall Sally…I couldn’t speak. I passed my life trying to do something like those songs.
One side of me suspected I was the biggest loser, the other side thought I was God.
I always believed in the present. Some people like to play pingue-pongue, another like to unbury corpses. I just didn’t believe in yesterday.
I was a leader. I brought Paul to Quarrymen. I shared my creative powers with Yoko and Paul.
I like to figure out myself as a giraffe passing by a window. And while people are seeing the parts, I tried and saw the whole thing, the whole universe, all the game.
I was a crowd. Like I sang “I am he, as you are he, and your are me and we are all together”. I was the Nowhere Man and the Eggman.
And, finally, I’ll tell you something…I shouldn’t but I will. I gave up my emperor, I gave up of Beatles, to be truly with myself. It’s very hard when you are Cesar and the people are telling how great you are, and giving you the best things, girls, drugs. It’s really hard to say: I don’t want to be a King, I want to be real.
I left Beatles, physically, when I fell in love with my dear Yoko. But, mentally, it was a fight that during 10 years at least. I learned everything with her. I was the door, she was the key. She changed me.
And, since Mother LP, I stopped with all my pretensions of poetry and illusion magnitude, things I called la Dylan. For me, the business was telling what it is, in a simple English, makes it rimes and but a rhythm
But there was a pain. And that pain was forcing me to see everything. That pain gave to me a beautiful truth and I wrote Imagine. Anti-nationalist, anti-religious, anti-conventional, anti-capitalist.
As I opened my eyes, I want you wake up. Com’on realize your dream. Just you can do that. I can’t wake up you.
Don’t you ask yourself, why are we in this world? Certainly not to live with fear and pain. And we shine on like the moon, and the stars and the sun…yeah yeah all right
