All You Need Is Love…And These Facts About John Lennon

He didn’t like the fan hysteria

John Lennon loved music and it was his complete passion. While he was grateful for his fans and always happy to meet them, he wasn’t happy about the screaming at live concerts and the hysteria that would take over the music. After growing tired of the noise, Lennon said “Beatles concerts are nothing to do with music any more.

They’re just bloody tribal rites.” Lennon wanted the fans to appreciate the music and lyrics that the Beatles were performing, rather than screaming for them as public figures.
