London - Friday, October 9, 2015, the age of John Lennon celebrate the 75th birthday if he is still alive. On October 9, 1940, in Liverpool, England, John Winston Lennon was born from the marriage of Julia and Alfred Lennon. No one thinks little John would grow into one of the greatest musicians of the 20th century with The Beatles. Like many other great musicians such as BB King or Kurt Cobain, John Lennon's childhood filled with gloom.



Since the age of five years, John Lennon was abandoned by his biological parents. Alfred defaulters and immigrated to New Zealand, while Julia married again with another man. Then, John Lennon grew up in the house his aunt and uncle, Mimi and George Smith who had no children.

John Lennon is very close to his uncle. Uncle often throw jokes and show his skill playing the harmonica to John Lennon. But their proximity to an end when his uncle died suddenly of a heart bleeding on June 5, 1955. His uncle just left John Lennon harmonica and boredom being at home without the presence of his uncle.

"John Lennon is very fond of Uncle George. I'm a little jealous (with proximity to them). They often go along and just left a bar of chocolate for me reads: Have a good day," said Mimi Smith.

At the age of 11 years, John Lennon met again with his mother, Julia. Julia frequent visits to the home or the opposite of Mimi Smith, John Lennon who visited the house where they listened to Julia husband Elvis Presley together.

Julia is one of the most influential musical instinct John Lennon. Julia was the one who taught John Lennon playing the song Is not That a Shame Fats Domino owned by a musical instrument banjo. Then, in 1956, John Lennon bought her first guitar. At that time, only Julia who believe that John Lennon would be a great musician, as big as Elvis Presley.

Unfortunately, togetherness John Lennon and Julia did not last long. When John Lennon was 17 years old, she was killed by a police car driven by a drunk. The memory of his mother immortalized by John in a song called Julia.

"I miss her (Julia) twice," said John Lennon. "First, when I was 5 years old, when I moved to my aunt's house. And again, when he actually died physically," said John Lennon when interviewed about the song that was released in 1968.

The absence of proper attention from parents giving a major influence on the life of John Lennon as the musician. Longing for affection from his parents he even expressed in a song called Mother.

"Mama do not go, daddy come home," so the song fragments Mother that John Lennon sang with a tone like a child whining.
