I was still 15 when I met John Lennon at a village fete in Woolton, in Liverpool.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Most of the fans of John Lennon and maybe John and Yoko are younger than me.
At 14 and 15, I was sort of my town's resident beatnik.
I was 19 or 20 when The Beatles were at their peak, and I was coming up to the peak of my career, too. I was also the first footballer to have long hair, and that's how I got my nickname 'the Fifth Beatle.'
John Lennon and Ringo Starr liked my songs. I used to write songs and they heard me sing songs on stage in London.
I grew up a massive Beatles fan.
My parents were Beatle fans, but my mom was especially a Lennon fan, so I was exposed to him more. I remember her playing 'Double Fantasy' quite often.
I was there the night John Lennon was shot, three blocks away. It left a lasting impression on me.
Being in The Beatles was a short, incredible period of my life. I had 22 years leading up to it, and it was all over eight years later.
I met John Lennon and he was with his wife in Tokyo. I met him there.
I grew up in Greenwich Village. Dad was friends with John Lennon and Yoko Ono.
