Love is the flower you've got to let grow

The title is a John Lennon quotation. Today the man is 70 years old. But hey, wait a second - isn't he dead already? Yes he is, physically. Artistically he is still on the go!

John Winston Ono Lennon, MBE (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles and, with Paul McCartney, formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.

Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved in the skiffle craze as a teenager, his first band, The Quarrymen, evolving into The Beatles in 1960. As the group began to undergo the disintegration that led to their break-up towards the end of that decade, Lennon launched a solo career that would span the next, punctuated by critically acclaimed albums, including John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine".

SOME OF THE WAY HE USED TO SEE LIFE - QUOTATIONS

You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!

A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.

Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.

God is a concept by which we measure our pain.

Love is the flower you've got to let grow.

The more I see the less I know for sure.
