John Lennon
John was the leader of the band, the spokesman and the one Beatle the others looked up to. He was witty and made wisecracks in situations that he didn't feel comfortable in. John had the potential to be brash, bold and daring, but also became increasingly political and ultimately spiritual.
"For our last number, I'd like to ask your help. Would the people in the cheaper seats clap your hands. And the rest of you, if you'll, just rattle your jewelry." John Lennon, 1963 at the royal variety performance in London.
