. . . is the real Dream Weaver
The typical negative comments that you hear from family members and friends alike are;
You’ll never make it . . .
You’re nothing but a dreamer . . .
How will you make a living ? . . .
When will you ever grow-up? . . .
The original Dream Weaver is none other than the iconic Beatles singer-songwriter, John Lennon.
John Winston Lennon (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English musician and singer-songwriter who rose to worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles, one of the most commercially successful and critically acclaimed acts in the history of popular music. Along with fellow Beatle Paul McCartney, he formed one of the most successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century.
Born and raised in Liverpool, Lennon became involved as a teenager in the skiffle craze; his first band, The Quarrymen, evolved into The Beatles in 1960. As the group disintegrated towards the end of the decade, Lennon embarked on a solo career that produced the critically acclaimed albums John Lennon/Plastic Ono Band and Imagine, and iconic songs such as "Give Peace a Chance" and "Imagine". After his marriage to Yoko Ono in 1969, he changed his name to John Ono Lennon. Lennon disengaged himself from the music business in 1975 to devote time to his infant son Sean, but re-emerged in 1980 with a new album, Double Fantasy. He was murdered three weeks after its release.
John wrote many of The Beatles hit songs along with his best friend and song-writing partner, Paul McCartney. The two Dream Weavers became the first known ‘Dream Team’.
Cool John Lennon Quotes:
A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality.
If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliché that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that's his problem. Love and peace are eternal.
Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you've got to let it grow.
I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?
You don't need anybody to tell you who you are or what you are. You are what you are!
Jesus was all right, but his disciples were thick and ordinary. It's them twisting it that ruins it for me.
All men who have achieved great things have been great dreamers -- Henry David Thoreau
"Possession isn't nine-tenths of the law. It's nine-tenths of the problem." - John Lennon
So ignore all those negative people and their comments and follow your heart and dreams. Never stop dreaming because without your dreams, there are no Dream Weavers like John Lennon and of course The Beatles. Look at where their dreams took them . . .
I’ll be back again soon with another post that I’m sure will get your attention. Remember to give you kids a big hug and kiss; don’t forget to tell them that you love them.
Until next time;
