John Lennon

John Lennon got his driver’s license just after The Beatles had become the biggest band in the world. So it’s probably not a surprise that his first ride was a little fancier than yours.

The members of Russian punk group Pussy Riot have had quite a year, enduring trial and imprisonment for their outspoken criticism of their country's current political regime -- but they're about to receive a little extra money for their trouble.

Beatles fans often clamor to get their hands on just about anything related to the Fab Four, but this is one piece of memorabilia that may give pause to even the most rabid collector: a tooth, purportedly pulled from the mouth of John Lennon.

John Lennon came to reject the left-wing politics that he championed in the late ’60s and early ’70s, and had become a supporter of right-wing icon Ronald Reagan. That’s the claim made by his former personal assistant, Fred Seaman.
