There is chatter both on the internet and through other media sources that John Lennon had an obsession with the number nine. Both a conscious
obsession as well as the appearance that the number nine itself followed Lennon.
That’s the chatter. Don’t shoot the messenger if you disagree
It IS known (or at least talked about as being a fact) that John Lennon considered the number 9 to be lucky for him. I don't know how lucky it
really was ... considering some bad things happened on the #9 dates and times. But anyways - here ya'll go -
Was Lennon obsessed with the number 9?
Was the number 9 obsessed with Lennon?
Is it all coincidence?
Could we pick ANY number and have all sorts of these things pop up?
Is all the buzz about it just made by bored or paranoid people?
Is there anything to this, or not? (I say not)
