Walrus / The Beatles / John Lennon

"My heroes were [Bob] Dylan, John Lennon and Picasso, because they each moved their particular medium forward, and when they got to the point where they were comfortable, they always moved on." --John Hughes

• Sixteen Candles
  • Farmer Ted sings "Hey, Jude" to Sam in the shop room at school.

• Ferris Bueller's Day Off
  • Ferris, while in the hall after his shower, says, "It's not that I condone fascism....or any 'ism' for that matter. 'Isms' in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an 'ism', they should believe in themselves. I quote John Lennon, 'I don't believe in Beatles... I just believe in me.' A good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus, I'd still have to bum rides off of people."
