John Lennon

John Lennon and Yoko sit in their kitchen surrounded by portraits of Che Guevara and others who have fanned or aided the cause of revolution. John. A rebel himself who returned his M.B.E. to the Queen... read more with the message “l am returning the M.B.E. in protest against Britain’s involvement in the Nigeria-Biafra thing, against our support of America in Vietnam and against Cold Turkey slipping down the charts”. He was never averse to a little humour being slipped in.

For me, this picture sums up John & Yoko 1969, the look of wrapt feeling that Yoko feels for John as he delivers his words says it all. They could not then have known how difficult the path ahead would... read more be, the difficulties of getting married, getting accepted and having children, all the troubles of John’s career, the writing and publication of ‘Imagine’, their internecine problems, right up to the moment of his death. Only the two of them existed for each other.
