Lennon’s Childhood (Above) Mendips: George and Mimi Smith's home, where Lennon lived as a youth. John Winston Lennon was born on October 9, 1940 during a German air raid of World War II. As a result of having a father that was never around and a mother that was not ready to be a mother, Lennon lived with his Aunt Mimi and her husband George Smith, throughout his childhood and adolescence.

Fame with The Beatles Click to view video on Beatles return to Great Britain Quit The Beatles all had statements about what the band meant to them: John: "The Sixties saw a revolution among youth -- not just concentrating in small pockets or classes, but a revolution in a whole way of thinking. The youth got it first and the next generation second. The Beatles were part of the revolution, which is really an evolution, and is continuing. We were all on this ship -- a ship going to discover the New World. And the Beatles were in the crow's nest." Paul: "'To thine own self be true.' I think that was very apt with The Beatles. We always were very true to ourselves -- and I think that the brutal honesty The Beatles had was important. So sticking to our own guns and really saying what we thought in some way gave some other people in the world the idea that they too could be truthful and get away with it, and in fact it was a good thing." George: "The moral of the story is that if you accept the high points you're going to have to go through the lows. For The Beatles, our lives were a very heightened version of that: of how to learn about love and hate, and up and down, and good and bad, and loss and gain. It was a hyper-version of what everybody else was going through. So, basically, it's all good. Whatever happened is good as long as we've learnt something. It's only bad if we didn't learn: 'Who am I? Where am I going? Where have I come from?'" Ringo: "They became the closest friends I'd ever had. I was an only and suddenly I felt as though I'd got three brothers. We really looked out for each other and we had many laughs together. In the old days we'd have the hugest hotel suites, the whole floor of a hotel, and the four of us would end up in the bathroom, just to be with each other."
