	Flickr: John Lennon Wall - Prague Czech Republic
		The Lennon Wall was formerly an ordinary historic wall in Prague, but since the 1980s, people have filled it with John Lennon-inspired graffiti and pieces of lyrics from Beatles songs.
		Young Czechs would write grievances on the wall and in a report of the time this led to a clash between hundreds of students and security police on the nearby Charles Bridge.
		The wall is owned by the Knights of the Maltese Cross, who graciously allowed graffiti to continue on what actually is a lovely Renaissance wall, and is located at Velkopřevorské náměstí (Grand Priory Square), Malá Strana.

	Encyclopedia: Lennon Wall (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Since the collapse of communism, the Lennon Wall has come to be seen not only as a memorial to the fallen singer, but also a monument to free speech and to Prague's non-violent rebellion against the repressions of neo-Stalinism.
		After Lennon's death on December 8, 1980, an anonymous group of young fans created a mock tombstone for Lennon within a recess of a wall that forms the backside of a 14th century churchyard in Prague.
		Lennon almost certainly would have agreed with the idea of a wall bearing his name that was used as a forum for peace, non-violent protest, and free speech.

		While some of the writing on the Lennon wall during the 1980s was naive, much of it was politically resonant.
		During Lennon's lifetime, his attempts to use his pop stardom as a platform for a political agenda were strongly criticized.
		For fans of Lennon, it is a sad but fitting irony that his violent death led to a serious legacy -- the creation of a irrepressible venue for political speech in Prague that ultimately played a role in the non-violent Velvet Revolution.

		Her comments were a reminder that Lennon was almost as famous for his peace campaigning as well as his music, and often combined the two.
		One of the songs Lennon is most famous for is Imagine, which he recorded in 1971, accompanied by a fl and white video of him singing it at a white piano.
		The song was a number one hit when it was re-released shortly after Lennon's death in 1980, and in 1999 it was voted the UK's favourite lyric in a poll, and the second greatest song of the millennium.

	At The Lennon Wall
		The John Lennon Wall, where young people repeatedly expressed opinions that were painted over by Communist authorities during the Cold War—is not just a silent monument of past days, but rather an interactive symbol that continues to raise questions about freedom of expression and about what the wall really stands for.
		At first the wall was used mostly for writing messages to Lennon or relating to his songs, such as “We miss you John“ and “All you need is love.“ But later these messages were replaced by more political ones, directed to Czechoslovakian authorities.
		After restoration, the wall was painted white and the public was invited to contribute messages and drawings as before, and the new graffiti appeared almost immediately.

		"John, I love you too, YO", she also wrote with a fl felt marker on the John Lennon Wall, a subversive altar to the cult of the Beatles only just tolerated by police under a regime in which pop and rock were synonymous with peaceful resistance.
		After Lennon was murdered in New York in 1980, the wall was covered entirely with portraits of him, along with texts of his songs and messages from admirers, anonymous poetry, and extracts from literary classics.

		Needless to say, the authorities were not amused by this unsanctioned Democracy Wall, and the City of Prague regularly dispatched a whitewash crew to cover up the troublesome individualist propaganda.

		The border is not perfect, but up at the top of the wall, the flaws are hard to see, and it looks great.
		When we were finished putting up the border (and I was sure we had enough to go around); I took a piece of the border (the blue rhinos worked best because they are small) and traced the holes of the switch/screw holes on the back and then cut them out.
		However, the color of the sky with the musical notes in the border is more of a lavendar and purple and the sky in all of the other Musical Parade items (rug, lamp, wall art, etc.)is blue.

		The FBI and the CIA tracked Lennon at least from his "Free John Sinclair" concert in 1969 until 1976 - even though by then Lennon had won his immigration battle and dropped out of not only political activism but public life altogether into what turned out to be a five-year period of seclusion.
		Nevertheless, Bresler's point is that the government did not consider John Lennon a harmless rock 'n' roller whose awkward entrance into the world of political activism often carried a high cringe factor (as in his Montreal "bed-in").
		The FBI was able to keep Lennon from obtaining permanent residency in the United States, watched his apartment, followed him and even tapped his telephone.
