John Lennon

Viac o knihe

For many years, John Lennon has been seen as the crazed, eccentric yet obscenely talented "engine room of The Beatles", providing some of the most memorable melodies the music world has ever known. After remaking pop in his own image with The Beatles, the erstwhile would-be artist and Liverpudlian reprobate went on to carve out a significant solo career, the enigmatic Yoko Ono at his side. Following his murder in 1980, in a country to which he was for so long denied entry, his work and life took on mythic status, elevating him to near-godhood, his role as mentor to a musical generation assured. In John Lennon, accomplished author Alan Clayson continues his four-volume study of the four Liverpool lads who rocked the world to discover the truth behind the myth of this most controversial, antagonistic yet publicly adored genius.
