John Lennon
Born:
John Lennon was the Beatles' most committed rock & roller, their social conscience, and their slyest verbal wit.

Ono's early albums presaged the elastic, screechy vocal style of late- '70s new wavers like the B-52's and Lene Lovich.

Diamond Dust: The Eccentric Genius of Jeff Beck
by Doug Collette
The man played like he had a love/hate relationship with his guitar.
