　　In the 1960s and 70s, Lennon was one of the most iconic(偶像的) men on the planet. Some 30 years ago from his death, he is still respected by many people in the West.

　　The Beatles, formed in 1960 in Liverpool, were one of the most commercial successful acts in the history of pop music, with, according to some estimates, global record sales over 1.1 billion.

　　The band conveyed the progressive ideals in which many young people of the time believed.

　　In the 1960s and 70s, widespread tension developed in both British and American society, regarding issues such as women's rights and the Vietnam War.

　　Lennon in particular became known for his message of peace and for his opposition to the war in Vietnam. This led to an attempt by former US president Richard Nixon to drive him away from the US. Lennon's second­wife Yoko Ono was also politically active.

　　Lennon was also hugely admired for his musical abilities. Lennon and his fellow Paul McCartney were the Beatles' song­writing team.
