Ode To Johnny.
He was a poet, a song-writer, an ex-Beatle, a peace-maker, a writer, an activist, and a wordly-known symbol of peace and love. A down-right genius. He was John Lennon. And this page is dedicated to the memory of this wonderful man.
Quotes by John:
"We're all a little Jesus and we're all a little Hitler."
"You can be a big celebrity, but you can't be guarenteed a cheese hamburger. "
~ While waiting in the lunch line for a cheese sandwich on the set of How I Won the War. He finally got up to the buffet table while waiting in line with his fellow cast-mates for about an hour. When he finally got up there, they ran out and he never got lunch that day. Poor Johnny.
