John Lennon

THE LIFE AND HISTORY OF

JOHN LENNON

Today we are Going to talk about the life, history, and music of JOHN LENNON. I hope you learn a lot of cool stuff.

John Lennon was born on October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England. His full name, John Winston Lennon, was given to him after the prime minister at the time, Winston Churchill. His parents Alf and Julia Stanly were also musical. He got his first guitar from his mom when he was six years old. John Lennon bought his first guitar when he was about 15 years old and was in his first band when he was about 16 years old, it was how John met Paul McCartney and George Harrison it was a skiffle band called The Quarry Men. The Quarry Men broke up around 1958.

After the Quarry Men John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and a new member Ringo Starr Broke off from the rest of the band and started the very well-known band called THE BEATLES. They sold the most records of any band of all time and are considered one of the greatest bands of all time. Some of The Beatles most popular songs are “Hey Jude” and “Here Comes the Sun”. John Lennons most popular song is “Imagine” which is considered one of the greatest written songs of all time.

John Lennon got married in 1962 to a woman named Cynthia Lennon. They had one kid, a boy named Julian Lennon. But John Lennon was only married to Cynthia for 6 years; they got divorced in 1968. John Lennon got married again in 1969 to a woman named Yoko Ono; he was married to Yoko for 11 years, from 1969 to 1980. Yoko and John also had one boy named Sean Lennon.

The Beatles broke up in April 1970. One of the reasons was because Paul McCartany announced his departure on April 10th, 1970, to promote his solo album. John Lennon had secretly left the band about 7 months earlier, so he could work with Yoko on a solo thing. After The Beatles, all the Beatles kept playing music like John Lennon, and Paul McCartney kept touring, and writing new songs.

On February eighth, 1980, John Lennon and Yoko Ono were walking home from the recording studio in NYC. When out of nowhere Mark David Chapman jumped out and shot John Lennon five times with 38 specials. They rushed him to the hospital, but by the time they got there it was too late, John Lennon, one of the world's greatest musicians, was dead. He died at 11:15pm in New York City.

Kurt Cobain’s favorite Beatle was John Lennon.
Ozzy Osbornes’ favorite Beatle was Paul McCartney.

Meghan Trainer

She's all about positivity! By: Grace

To get to know her, you should know...

Meghan Trainor is a pop sensation who makes sure all girls feel like they matter. With a flawless balance of sassy pop ballads and encouraging social posts, Meghan, whom I most likely will call “Meggy” somewhere in here, will probably end up saving girls all over with her Don’t-hate-yourself-okay? vibes, and I absolutely love her music, I’ve loved her music since before I was old enough to know what any of it meant.

In contrast, may I say that influencers tend to make girls feel horrible about themselves because all girls look at nowadays is people being little human stick bugs??? These influencers often promote unrealistic body standards that can lead to feelings of inadequacy and shame among young girls. Meghan Trainor's music offers a refreshing counter-narrative, encouraging girls to love their bodies just the way they are and reject these harmful ideals.

But moving on to little meggy!

Meghan started singing at a very young age, as she did not wish to have any formal music training, so she just winged it! She was in a cover band made up of her family members called Island Fusion, which, if you ask me, sounds more like a Pina Colada than a cover band, but whatever. Anyway, she did the whole Island Fusion thing until she was twelve when she started using GarageBand to make her compositions. She began writing songs for others to sing by eighteen. She didn’t like her figure and the fact that she was one of the girls who had a thicker body type (sorry if that’s offensive, Meggy) and she was discouraged by this, but that quickly changed and she said “Nah to the Ah to the No No No” to her self hatred (that was a quote from Meghan’s hit song “No”) and she absolutely dominated the stage after she got a record deal with Epic Records’ own L.A. Reid! After all that, you can thank her Mom for supporting her through all of it! She says in her song “Mom” that “You might have a mom, she might be the bomb but ain’t nobody got a mom like mine.”

Music Career

Meghan was, as I mentioned, in a cover band that consisted of some of her family members called Island Fusion (again, Pina Colada), and she had played Bob Marley and all sorts of other stuff, but more importantly, they played Meghan’s compositions, so the world got a taste of Meghan before she even started writing lyrics, which she began at eighteen, even though that wasn’t very successful, and she wrote her song “Give Me A Chance” to pass the time, which gave her the idea to go to a music conference. There she meets former NRBQ employee Al Anderson, and he liked her music and personality in general, so he referred her to his boss, Carla Wallace, and Carla pointed her in the vague direction of Epic Records, so Meggy tried to find someone to sing her song, “All About That Bass” for the chairmen, but no one could or would or wanted to, and so Meggy had to sing it herself over a recording from the studio. L.A. Reid, the chairman who was reviewing the recording, sent for Meggy the same day he heard her, and according to an interview, she had no cell phone in the waiting room to distract herself and was so nervous that she could’ve sworn she may have hurled on the floor at any given moment. L.A Reid gave Meghan a record label that proved she could do practically anything music related and also boosted her confidence.

Marriage and Motherhood

Meghan Married Daryl Sabara, who played Juni Cortez in his most famous act, “Spy Kids,” whom some of you may recognize him from. They then had two kids who were soon named Riley and Barry. So far, Riley is 4 and Barry is 1 and 8 months, and the parade won’t stop there since she’s planning to have four kids, at least! (so she says) Meghan has said Daryl has measured up to all of the things she said in “Dear Future Husband” Like you would expect, pregnancy wasn’t easy, but thanks to that we now have a book written by her, called Dear Future Mama, a guide to how to handle pregnancy and tiny children.

Outroduction

This go-getter gal is the queen of self-positivity, so it's best to take it all as a reminder that not only is everyone worthy of praise, but everyone can also get it thanks to us considerate kids. The future of us starts now, so we had all better get out there and let everyone know they’re all equally loved.

Good Luck Changing the World, my friends!

I’m going to be talking about Aretha Franklin, otherwise called The Queen of Soul or “Ree” by her family members. Aretha was the daughter of a paster and help fight for civil rights. Aretha even sang with Elton John a week before she passed away! And now let’s start. Let’s start off with important information. Aretha was born on March 25, 1942, in Memphis, Tennessee. In 1946 Aretha moves to Detroit Michigan. In 1952 her mother dies of a heart attack.1960-1980 Aretha moved to New York, then moves to California with Ken Cunningham (her boyfriend at the time) in 1975 and appears in “Blues Brothers” in 1980. In 2005 she was “Awarded the presidential medal of freedom.” -Nico Medina. On august 16th ,2018 in Detroit Michigan Aretha dies of pancreatic cancer. Next is her Singing Career. In 1956 she releases her first album “Songs of Faith”. In 1960-1987 she signs with Columbia and Atlantic records, recorded “I never loved a man” at Muscle Shoals, “Respect hits number one on the pop and R&B charts.”- Nico Medina, and she got in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame. Aretha Franklin's bestselling album “Amazing Grace” is released in 1972. Ree was crowned the Queen of Soul in 1967. The Rolling Stones names Aretha the best singer of all time. In 2017 Ree declares that she will be retiring. Last but certainly not least, husbands and kids. Her first marriage to Ted White lasted from 1961-1965. Next, she marries Glynn Turman which lasted from 1978-1984. Aretha the has her first kid, Clarence. Clarence was born on January 28,1955. Her second son’s name is Edward. He was born on august 13 1957. Ted white jr. her third child and is born on February 1964. And her last kid’s name is Kecalf. And his birth date is April 1970.
