    I was a classmate of John for five years @ high school. I remember him playing his mouth organ/harmonica in the school corridor, as we waited for a teacher to arrive to let us into the classroom. I was also in Liverpool town centre as the news of his death dawned on us...a gloomy & overcast day for sure. RIP.

      @@Leo-dr4qm Calder High School for Girls was right "next door" to Quarry Bank High, where John attended. The two schools were separated by a rather high red sandstone wall. The times for beginning and ending our respective school hours were different, with the girls starting and ending before the boys. We also had the occasional joint service @ the local Anglican church...all "very exciting" ! The two schools were just opposite Calderstone Park, in a very nice district [ Allerton ] of Liverpool. Both schools were grammar schools.

      That's an amazing memory. Thanks for sharing. I didn't meet John - I was too young - but I did meet Muhammad and also went to his funeral. I prayed at the graveside with his wife, honour of a lifetime.

      @@BlackPrimeMinister Thanks for this my friend. It is always so sad when any boxer suffers so much from taking punishment in his fights. And now, we have more and more retired professional football [soccer] players developing dementia/Alzheimer's -probably as a result of repeated heading of the ball.
      I remember John with near total clarity-even with my advancing age. We were simply classmates, not friends [nor enemies]. He was very bright, and a "character."
      Take care of yourself amigo.
      PS: I am very interested in the history of professional boxing. All thing taken into account, my # 1 boxer "of all time" was Sugar Ray Robinson: he has NO rivals-in my respectful opinion. Lastly, I have a preference for the middleweight division [ Stanley Ketchel/ Ray Robinson/Sammy Langford/Carlos Monzon/Marvin Hagler/Bob Fitzsimmons/Dick Tiger/Harry Greb...to name some of the greats.

    Of course John met Ali over ten years earlier when the Beatles were the biggest thing on the planet. It was before Ali had fought Liston. There is the famous photo where he is hitting one Beatle and they are all falling down. Ali said to McCartney, "You ARE pretty. You are not as pretty as me, but you are pretty."

John invited Ali "to come meet with us" at the Dakota and talk about it some more. Although there were behind the scenes meetings with representatives of John and Ali, the sit down at the Dakota never happened.

Cuántas expectativas y esperanzas aparecían en aquel enero de 1977, no? Me imagino la atmósfera plena de ilusión y fe, de buenos propósitos. Han pasado casi 47 años. En qué quedó todo aquello? Creo que en todos lados hay gente buena. Creo en las buenas intenciones pero, a mis 63 años me he dado cuenta que las buenas intenciones las han comprado siempre aquellos que están por detrás de los que aparecen usufructuando el poder con la anuencia de nosotros, los ilusos. Me llamó la atención que en esa velada tan "demócrata", estuviese presente una figura tan "republicana", como John Wayne. No digo que no pudiese estar, pero me llama la atención, nada más.

    History has been way to kind and re-written for Jimmy Carter - he was an awful President in reality, weak and ineffective - also when he left office he cozied up to the Saudi Arabian Oil Sheiks who paid to build his Presidential Library - the fact that the Saudi Monarchy oppresses their people with human rights violations was disregarded by Jimmy -- so as i say, not as i do.

      Yes, communist principles embodied in Imagine's uplifting lyrics have provided humanity with a prosperous, productive, fair, free-spirited socio-economic system most everywhere it has been tried. It is the envy of the world. That's why people who have adopted it never abandon it. Cuba's amazing progress in alliance with its socialist trading partners since their revolution serves as proof.

      Muhammad Ali wasn't very bright at all.

      Yes, and then this genius followed the teachings of the prophet of Islam who owned and sold black slaves!
      Just check out what Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, and his followers said about blacks.
      Just read how Muhammad's "Whiteness" is constantly emphasised in Islam's holy books!
      Then again Muhammad Ali was a boxer who made his living by taking punches to his head !

    Compared to the magnificent Ali, JL's 1970's significance is slight: his faux-activism was just him being pu$$y-whipped by Yoko into being a celebrity. Ali was a world-class athlete while Lennon recorded a series of mediocre LPs (including one truly awful record and one "therapy" record -- both of which should probably have never been released). JC turned out to be "too nice" (and was thus ineffective; i.e. he was no LBJ or Harry S.) to be president and only won because Ford pardoned RMN. Whoever wrote the commentary is a clown.
