Mäkelä, Janne
John Lennon Imagined

Cultural History of a Rock Star.

Through investigation of the cultural and historical background of his stardom in England and the United States, Janne Mäkelä explores why John Lennon became a much-debated celebrity and why he remains so. Lennon’s career from the 1960s until his tragic death in 1980, and even beyond, demonstrates how different expectations articulated by the star, the music industry, the media, and the fans form relations which change in terms of time and place.
