WHY HE INFLUENCES ME

John Lennon is one of the most important people in history in my opinion. He influenced billions around the world and still does through his music today. Not many musicians leave that kind of legacy behind when they leave this world. His dreams of peace, his wisdom, and way with words inspire me and when I give people advice I try to be a John Lennon, this is my way of saying wise and that it comes from my own personal experiences and thoughts. I can only hope to have that kind of impact on the world some day or at least inspire some people.
