| Their efforts were unsuccessful, in part because Lennon had a little help from his friends. Artists such as Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Leonard Bernstein, Joyce Carol Oates, and John Updike wrote letters on behalf of Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono. The administration kept pushing for deportation despite the "let them stay in the USA" campaign, and even after Nixon won reelection in a landslide. A year after Nixon resigned in disgrace, a three-judge panel ruled in the musician's favor, writing in its ruling that "Lennon's four-year battle to remain in our country is testimony to his faith in this American dream." | |

John Lennon hated his singing voice. | |||||||||
| Despite being one of the most influential and beloved musicians in history, John Lennon hated the sound of his own voice. In addition to telling biographer Ray Coleman, "I can't say I ever liked hearing myself," Lennon requested that Beatles producer George Martin "do something" to his voice to make it sound different, even going so far as to ask him, "Can't you smother it with tomato ketchup or something?" According to Martin, Lennon "had an inborn dislike of his own voice which I could never understand, as it was one of the best voices I've heard." Millions upon millions of fans agree. | |||||||||
