Why does Yoko Ono sell off so many of John Lennon's personal possessions and original art and handwritten lyrics?
With the exception of an auction held in the 1980s to raise funds for Yoko Ono's Spirit Foundation charity, Yoko Ono rarely, if ever, sells off any of John's personal posessions (and has never sold off any of John's handwritten lyric sheets). The John Lennon handwritten lyric sheets that occasionally come up for sale at auction are items that John left behind in the studio, or otherwise discarded or abandoned in hotel rooms, etc. There was little thought that such items had any value back then -- and so they were often simply abandoned or thrown out. Studio employees, musicians, hotel employees and others would find them and keep them. Later, these items would be put up for auction, many of them changing hands through collectors over the years as prices rose. Yoko also does not sell off any of Lennon's original artwork. John Lennon released a series of signed lithographs (mostly of his nude drawings of Yoko) that occasionally come up for sale -- but all of his other "artwork" that is being sold today are reprints produced by Yoko -- not the original artwork. Yoko Ono has carefully collected and archived Lennon's personal artifacts, and occasionally has lent some of these items to museums so that Lennon fans around the world get a chance to see them.

What were some of John Lennon's accomplishments in art?
He staged an exhibit in 1968, called "You Are Here"; it was mostly a publicity stunt, letting the public know he and Yoko Ono were in a relationship, and that Lennon was stepping outside the Beatles. Visitors to the Robert Fraser Gallery had to walk past a row of charity collection boxes, to see a large round canvas, with YOU ARE HERE in Lennon's handwriting. (Reviews were not all positive.) The other part of the exhibit was the outdoor release of 365 helium balloons, with cards attached, inviting those who found the balloons to write back to Lennon. (He had found such a balloon with a card attached as a boy, and wanted to pass on the thrill of that experience.) Many of the responders sent positive messages; others used it as an excuse to attack Yoko Ono, or to criticize Lennon for his recent activities.
How did John Lennon and Yoko Ono spend their honeymoon?
Lennon and Ono expected the media would follow and snoop on them during their honeymoon, so they decided to turn things around, and use the event to promote world peace. They spent the week in the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam, and invited the media to come visit them during their "Bed-In for Peace". The invitation was misinterpreted at first, with many people assuming the couple planned to make love for the public to see. Lennon said later "The press came charging through the door, thinking we were going to be screwing in bed." Instead they found John and Yoko sitting up in bed in pajamas, surrounded by handmade posters reading HAIR PEACE, BED PEACE, GROW YOUR HAIR, I LOVE YOKO and I LOVE JOHN, and the two of them answering any and all questions put to them. The event was commemorated in "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", one of the last Beatles singles (which featured only Lennon and Paul McCartney playing), and the later Wedding Album, which included a book of photos, another book of press clippings, and a bagged photo of a slice of wedding cake. One side of the record, titled "Amsterdam", was a collection of sounds from the week, including two interviews with the media. Lennon and Ono wanted to have a second bed-in in America, but Lennon was refused entry to the United States because of his recent arrest for hashish possession. They settled at first for the Bahamas, but found their hotel inhospitable, and they relocated the event to the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Quebec. This Bed-In lasted ten days, with the couple speaking by radio and telephone to student protestors in California, and the writing and recording of "Give Peace A Chance".
Who were John Lennon's family?
British but also of Irish heritage- if you purchase the re-release of Walls and Bridges that Yoko has remixed you will see the Irish heritage of the last name Lennon. So he was mostly British but of Irish heritage. Source: Sleeve cover of Walls and Bridges re-release 2010 for John's 70th Birthday. Awesome CD Jill Izzo
Can you give me 10 things you might not know about the Beatles?
One: Strawberry Fields was a real place. It was a Salvation Army not to far from John Lennon's childhood home. Two: None of the Beatles could actually read music Three: "Yesterday" has the most cover versions then any song ever written Four: The Ed Sullivan Show was not the Beatles American TV debut. It was on "The Huntley-Brinkley Report" on NBC. Five: Eric Clappton almost replaced George Harrison. On January 10, 1969, Harrison finally had enough and quit the band. His announcement caused John Lennon to quip, "If he doesn't come back by Tuesday, we get Eric Clapton." Harrison, of course, came to his senses, and returned to the band on January 15th. Six: She Said She Said" was inspired by an LSD trip with Peter Fonda Seven: Paul McCartney met Yoko Ono before John did. Yoko Ono claims to have been introduced to John Lennon by a mutual friend at her November 9, 1966, art exhibit in London. According to Yoko, she had never heard of the Beatles and had to be told who John Lennon was. However, Paul McCartney, likes to tell a different story about how she and John met. It was late 1965 and Yoko had knocked on Sir Paul's door. She was helping John Cage, a personal friend of McCartney's, with a book he was working on, and wanted to include some of the Beatles' work. Paul declined her offer, but suggested that she see Lennon. Yoko took Paul's advice and Lennon wound up giving her the original handwritten lyrics to "The Word" from Rubber Soul. The lyrics were later reproduced in Cage's book Notations. Eight: 'Hey Jude' was written by Paul in his car. Paul was on his way to visit Julian, John Lennon's son, who was disturbed by his parents divorce. Paul wrote this song to cheer him up. Nine: Paul McCartney wrote the song Lovely Rita, Meter Maid for the album Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band after getting a parking ticket from a female warden in Abbey Road. Ten: (My personal favorite :D ) "Ringo" means "Apple" in Japenese :)

Could you see the ghost of the EARLY John Lennon at night?
When you get into the darkness, you might smell cologne-young man cologne. You might hear music-danger music. When you say,''That's weird,''in the darkness, you might hear the scary moaning voice of John Lennon and see the specter of the early John Lennon in his pajamas. (Early means,''young,'')
