    That's my favorite song...

    RIP John.... :cry:
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Words can't express how sad I am to think that it's been 30 years since he passed away (wasn't even born then). He will never be forgotten.

    My favorite of his solo career:

    And this one is another favorite of mine from his solo career:

    The day many of us realized with horror that very bad things can happen to very good people.

    But I'd rather not think of his death, I'm much more inspired by the post and the video. Thanks Norm...

    I'm going to central park tomorrow to visit the memorial. Still makes me sad to think about what a senseless murder that was. I leave some flowers for all my fellow ten club mourners.

    I always thought it was creepy how they found that photo of both John and his killer in that idiot's house. He had asked to take a photo with John because he was a fan, only hours before he shot him. Bloody fruit cake! :(

    Bruce played the Spectrum that night, I still remember how devasted I felt how I felt that and just a feeling of sadness toward the human race that some people can be such a crazed animal toward such a peaceful man of the people.

    I have that bootleg. The day after the show and he didn't want to perform but the band convinced him to.

    Imagine there's no Heaven
    It's easy if you try
    No hell below us
    Above us only sky
    Imagine all the people
    Living for today

    Imagine there's no countries
    It isn't hard to do
    Nothing to kill or die for
    And no religion too
    Imagine all the people
    Living life in peace

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will be as one

    Imagine no possessions
    I wonder if you can
    No need for greed or hunger
    A brotherhood of man
    Imagine all the people
    Sharing all the world

    You may say that I'm a dreamer
    But I'm not the only one
    I hope someday you'll join us
    And the world will live as one

    I wasn't alive (not born for another 10 years) but as a musician and a music fan, I know my life would be completely different without him. He was taken away from us before his time.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    John Lennon is possibly the only person that gives me the same feeling Eddie does. There will never be another Lennon.... What happened to him was absolutely pointless and one of the saddest parts is that he actually approached Chapman earlier in the day thinking he was a shy fan and took an album from him to autograph it. I can't imagine the horror Yoko went through that night. I think John chased being happy for so long and he finally found his peace and it was sadly short-lived.
    Hearts and thoughts they fade....
    fade away...

    I am at peace with my lust.....for Eddie.

    "We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. "

    Miss you John.
