a famous fan


In 2004, when John Kerry was running for president of the United States, this photo of him and John Lennon became known. Some people used to say that John Kerry and John Lennon were friends and that is why Beatle fans should vote for him. I had to laugh at that. This is obviously a fan getting his photo taken with John Lennon. It isn't two buddies hanging out. It was taken at the peace rally in NYC that John and Yoko performed/spoke at. It is where you can see them singing "Give Peace a Chance" and it is raining. John Kerry was also speaking there as a Vietnam solider who had returned to be against the war. It looks to me that the two Johns met up in the backstage area and John Kerry got a photo with the famous musicain. I doubt the two men ever crossed paths again. But still....sort of a neat photo!
