John Lennon Trivia
|
- Although his music with and after the Beatles usually featured the latest technical and sound innovations, he was all-thumbs when it came to most audio/visual equipment, and usually depended on a knowing technician or assistant to give him the sound or look he wanted. He also spent little time on remixing with his solo records; latter-day remasters of his solo albums have been carefully remixed, bringing out many subtleties in the music buried or lost in the original mixes.
- His first girlfriend was named Thelma Pickles.
- Married first wife Cynthia at the Mount Pleasant Registry Office in Liverpool; married second wife Yoko on the Rock of Gibraltar.
- Father, with Yoko Ono, of Sean Lennon.
- He was preoccupied with the number nine: An avant-garde composition on the Beatles' "White Album" was "Revoltion 9", while a solo recording of his was "#9 Dream", a term he gave to a state of enlightenment. He died at 11PM on December 8, 1980 in New York, but in his native England (five hours ahead), it was already December 9.
