JOHN LENNON: Middle Class Hero

AUDIO: John Lennon interview, 1980.
---

"My childhood was not all suffering. We saw these articles in the American fan mags that said, 'Those boys struggled up from the slums.' I was always well dressed, well fed and well schooled, and brought up to be a nice lower-middle-class English boy." - John Lennon (1980)

"John’s family was rather sort of middle-class— there was a lot of his appeal to me.[...] John had relatives up in Edinburgh, and one of them was a dentist and somebody worked in the BBC! After all, now, come on! None of us knew people like that! So I was kind of attracted to that. It wasn’t a social climbing thing, it’s just that I do find it attractive. I like intelligent people, I like talented people." -Paul McCartney
