Boycott Summer Olympic By Cynthia Pineda (event)

In 1980, the United States led a boycott of the Summer Olympic Games in Moscow to protest the late 1979 Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. In total, 65 nations refused to participate in the games, where as 80 countries sent athletes to compete. In early 1980, the movement toward either boycotting the games altogether or moving them out of the Soviet Union gained momentum. Calls for boycotts of Olympic events were not uncommon; just four years prior, most of the nations of Sub-Saharan Africa boycotted the Summer Games in Montreal to protest the attendance of New Zealand after the latter sent its rugby team to play against the team from apartheid South Africa. Within the United States, there was public support for the boycott. The U.S. House of Representatives passed a nonbinding resolution approving the decision to stay away from Moscow with a vote of 386 in favor and 12 opposed; the U.S. Senate passed a similar measure with a vote of 88 to 4.

John Lennon death by Marielos Sanchez

Give peace a chance!John Winston Lennon; 9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980) was an English rock musician, singer, and songwriter who gained worldwide fame as one of the founding members of The Beatles. With Paul McCartney, Lennon formed one of the most influential and successful songwriting partnerships of the 20th century and "wrote some of the most popular music in rock and roll history". Lennon revealed a rebellious nature and biting wit in his music, on film, in books, and at press conferences and interviews. He was controversial through his work as a peace activist and artist. Lennon was raised as an Anglican and attended Dovedale Primary School until he passed his Eleven-Plus exam.[19][20] From September 1952 to 1957, he attended the Quarry Bank High School in Liverpool, where he was known as a "happy-go-lucky" pupil, drawing comical cartoons and mimicking his teachers.The Beatles: 1957–1970Awards!Double Fantasy, which would win the 1981 Grammy Award for Album of the YearIn 2002, respondents to a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted Lennon into eighth place.In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Lennon number 38 on its list of "The Immortals: The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time" and ranked The Beatles at number one.also ranked fifth greatest singer of all time by Rolling Stone in 2008.Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1987Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994When I asked my mom what she thought about john lennon she said “ the guy from the beatles that said they were better than God?” … if you don’t know who john lennon is your stupid! But here is what my mom was referring to… “ Lennon: "I suppose if I had said television was more popular than Jesus, I would have gotten away with it, but I just happened to be talking to a friend and I used the words "Beatles" as a remote thing, not as what I think - as Beatles, as those other Beatles like other people see us. I just said "they" are having more influence on kids and things than anything else, including Jesus. But I said it in that way which is the wrong way". Reporter: "Some teenagers have repeated your statements - "I like the Beatles more than Jesus Christ." What do you think about that?"Lennon: "Well, originally I pointed out that fact in reference to England. That we meant more to kids than Jesus did, or religion at that time. I wasn't knocking it or putting it down. I was just saying it as a fact and it's true more for England than here. I'm not saying that we're better or greater, or comparing us with Jesus Christ as a person or God as a thing or whatever it is. I just said what I said and it was wrong. Or it was taken wrong. And now it's all this".Reporter: "But are you prepared to apologise?"Lennon: "I wasn't saying whatever they're saying I was saying. I'm sorry I said it really. I never meant it to be a lousy anti-religious thing. I apologise if that will make you happy. I still don't know quite what I've done. I've tried to tell you what I did do but if you want me to apologise, if that will make you happy, then OK, I'm sorry". In my opinion I don’t think he meant anything by this.I think what he was probably trying to say was like the impact that the Beatles were having on the world at that time was unlike many had seen. Even to this day the new generations that are just now being introduced to the music like it. And I can say from my own experience that after hearing I found it peaceful, its different it has its own stile and it has meaning. that’s getting harder and harder to find in the music we kids listen to. But its nice to have a something to fall back on. But on another note john lennon was a peaceful and talented man that put out his message throughout his music and he damn straight was good at it. that’s why he is so significant up to this day!woohoo
