Cheatsheet: [2] John Lennon remains a world-class rock star. Not only did he inspire numerous other musicians, but many people put a lot of stock in his opinions. Given his musical prowess, his views on music mean a lot to many Beatles fans.
[3] John took inspiration from many musicians and genres. However, he revealed his tastes were pretty narrow. Fans might be surprised to know what his favorite rock ‘n’ roll song was.
