“ Part of me would like to be accepted by all facets of society and not be this loudmouthed lunatic poet/musician. But I cannot be what I am not ... I was the one who all the other boys parents—including Pauls father—would say, Keep away from him... The parents instinctively recognised I was a troublemaker, meaning I did not conform and I would influence their children, which I did. I did my best to disrupt every friends home ... Partly out of envy that I didnt have this so-called home ... but I did... There were five women that were my family. Five strong, intelligent, beautiful women, five sisters. One happened to be my mother. [She] just couldnt deal with life. She was the youngest and she had a husband who ran away to sea and the war was on and she couldnt cope with me, and I ended up living with her elder sister. Now those women were fantastic ... And that was my first feminist education ... I would infiltrate the other boys minds. I could say, Parents are not gods because I dont live with mine and, therefore, I know. ” ~ John Winston Lennon
