About the Author: A native of the Southwest, Gary Tillery was born in Phoenix in 1947. "There ain\'t no guru who can see through your eyes," he sings in "I Found Out." Cynical Idealist beautifully articulates this and the other lessons John Lennon passed along through his songs and through the example of his life.
