John Lennon, 9 October 1940 - 8 December 1980

FROM THE ROLLING STONE INTERVIEW, DECEMBER 1970:

Jann Wenner: What are your personal tastes?

John Lennon: Sounds like "Wop Bop A Loo Bop." I like rock and roll. I don't like much else. That's the music that inspired me to play music. There is nothing conceptually better than rock and roll.

Jann Wenner: Do you have a picture of "when I'm sixty-four"?

John Lennon: No, no. I hope we're a nice old couple living off the coast of Ireland or something like that - looking at our scrapbook of madness.
