More From John Lennon

It just annoyed me that people got so into the beatles. "beatles, beatles, beatles." it's not that i don't like talking about them. i've never stopped talking about them. it's "beatles this, beatles that, beatles, beatles, beatles, beatles." then in the end, it's like "oh, sod off with the beatles," you know?

I suppose if i had said television was more popular than jesus, i would have gotten away with it. i'm sorry i opened my mouth. i'm not anti-god, anti-christ, or anti-religion. i wasn't knocking it or putting it down. i was just saying it as a fact and it's true more for england than here. i'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with jesus christ as a person or god as a thing or whatever it is. i just said what i said and it was wrong. or it was taken wrong. and now it's all this.
Jesus Sorry Taken
To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).
Jesus Character Mean
No secret that i enjoy motor sports and cars in particular, building cars, building custom cars. part of that scene. i love the flow of the cars and i love the art part of them. i love the sleekness and the uniqueness of each car that you can dream up.

How many cars out there look like corvettes? you want something nobody else has. you don't want an old look-alike thing, and that's why corvettes have the reputation of being one of the fastest cars. i've always had good cars, and a corvette is one of the best cars i've had. i've had lamborghinis, i've had ferraris, i've had stutz blackhawks. you name it, i've had them. for the money, corvette is tops.
Names Want Something Car
So to compare the beatles, obviously the beatles are the beatles, but in hip-hop terms, tribe is the beatles. grandmaster flash and the furious five are the beatles. big daddy kane is jimi hendrix. it means that much to people that grew up with it.

Lacey didn't like it, even though he was born here, i understand. i mean, he was born in brooklyn. he told the staff that they better prepare themselves to say goodbye to some of their friends.
Goodbye Farewell Mean
Liberty calls to us again. we must follow her further; we must trust her fully. either we must wholly accept her or she will not stay. it is not enough that men should vote; it is not enough that they should be theoretically equal before the law. they must have liberty to avail themselves of the opportunities and means of life; they must stand on equal terms with reference to the bounty of nature.
Mean Opportunity Men
I can remember how i sang - a little more nasal-y back then. listening to those old recordings is like seeing a photograph of yourself from 10 years ago. you're wearing what you thought looked cool at the time. you had your hair styled the particular way you thought looked cool. it's an accurate depiction of who you were and what you looked and sounded like at that point in your life. it doesn't necessarily mean that it aged in a way that it feels as cool or sounds as good to you, or says what you thought it said, 10 years later. that's just the nature of growing older.
