John Lennon

      You're a young lad playing your guitar on the back of a van, then you're tearing your throat out trying to sing. You find success, make a few records, a couple of movies and show your bare bottom on the front page of every newspaper in the world. Soon it's time to move on, say goodbye to the others, then suddenly it's your seventieth birthday and you're not around to celebrate. At least you have enriched mankind with your brief presence!
