Dr. Winston, I got a Lennon T-shirt for Christmas this year and I am wondering if you can explain the flag that is on the back. I do not believe this is an official shirt, it has lennons face in red and black underlined by the word "revolution" on the front. On the back, there is a flag that I have never seen before, it is a yellow star with a circle around it ( not the witchcraft thing that all of the stupid metal bands use which I cant think the name of.) from this star there are black lines radiating out to the left of it. Under the flag is the word "evolution". I do not recognize this flag, and even though my explination is kind of weak, could you give me an idea of what this flag represents?

Interesting Question alarid33,
It does not sound like any image or flag I have heard about. I could comment more if I saw the image. Have you a link to the T-shirt? It sounds like a symbol of 'power' or 'freedom', or 'Evolution' ??

Thanks for the link... Great T-shirt. Hope you like it. I think the symbol is the 'Russian' or 'Chinese' revolution sign. Happy Holidays to you ...

My neighbor lent me a book about a year ago. I believe it was written by a boyhood friend of John and Paul. I also think he became their agent or manager at some point. Anyhow, I only read the first few chapters, but the book had a part in it about John and how he was kind of a tough kid who used to be threatened by other neighborhood bullies. I think there was one story in the book about how John had to sneak out at the end of a gig they were playing because the neighborhood guys were waiting to beat him up.
My problem is I can't remember the name of the book and neither can my neighbor. Any idea what book this might be...?
Thanks in advance.

Hi. Could it be Pete Shotton's book - John Lennon: In My Life. Pete was a good friend of John's.

John Lennon grew up on some mean streets in England. He was threatened by a neighborhood street gang. My questions are: what English town did John spend his early teen years and what was the name of that street gang?
Thanks!
