    It's kind of like Kennedy's death day. I'll never forget where I was and what I was doing. Also, Kurts. Very sad days.
    "I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."

    I really got into Lennon this past year, he made some of the best music.
    Burns: Smithers, are they booing me?

    Smithers: Uh, no, they're saying "Boo-urns! Boo-urns!"

    i heard it was monday....
    I've faced it, a life wasted, and I'm never going back again.

    Some die just to live.

    The first thing I'll do tomorrow is put on Imagine and then Plastic Ono Band.

    it was at about 10:50 pm (NY time) that he died. I didn't know that. thanks a lot. Now I just got to figure what time that would be central time. 9:50?

    I got word at seven in the morning here. I was only eight years old. Let's see, so it happened at 3:50am on Tuesday 9th December 1980, my time. I still think about that day a lot.

    Its sad to think of all the great music that he would have created over the past 25 years. And all the great comments he would have made, and causes he would have fought for...

    A day imprinted on the souls of us all, NEVER to be forgotten... just like the legend himself. :(

    Talk about a person that seriously made the world a better place.

    I will have all the Lennon greatness in high rotation tomorrow and definitely plan on replying to all related threads to show my complete love & respect for one of THE greatest musicians/people to have ever graced the earth. Taken from us!:( It's beyond tragic and beyond a loss. He left behind much to be remembered by...much to live by.

    {{RIP JOHN}}
    Your voice/music/spirit/love forever lives on!

    REMEMBER LENNON

    i was only 6... but i remember my dad being shocked... very quiet...

    i'm listening to Plastic Ono Band album as I type.



    what's the deal with fucking mentalists shooting people they dont even know for reasons that are dubious to say the least... fucking fat freakshow of a blob that Chapman is.... i live for the day I can write about that cunt in the past tense..... maybe i should start that anyway :(
    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    one of my fave songs of all time, by anybody. RIP john, miss you.

    There are places I remember
    All my life though some have changed
    Some forever not for better
    Some have gone and some remain
    All these places have their moments
    With lovers and friends I still can recall
    Some are dead and some are living
    In my life I've loved them all

    But of all these friends and lovers
    There is no one compares with you
    And these memories lose their meaning
    When I think of love as something new
    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more

    Though I know I'll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I'll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more

    In my life I love you more

    Never has their been such simple lyrics that have such heart felt emotion as this song, this has hit me hard since I was a teenager:

    Mother, you had me but I never had you,
    I wanted you but you didn't want me,
    So I got to tell you,
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Farther, you left me but I never left you,
    I needed you but you didn't need me,
    So I got to tell you,
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Children, don't do what I have done,
    I couldn't walk and I tried to run,
    So I got to tell you,
    Goodbye, goodbye.
    Mama don't go,
    Daddy come home.
    Mama don't go,
    Daddy come home.
    Mama don't go,
    Daddy come home.
    Mama don't go,
    Daddy come home.
    Mama don't go,
    Daddy come home.
    Mama don't go,
    Daddy come home.
    Mama don't go,
    Daddy come home...

    How can anyone shoot someone who creates music. I will never understand that.

    Aw chiqui, beautiul picture indeed. When Nadia and I went to the MSG shows back in '03 we visited Strawberry Fields and this gorgeous tribute. It was an emotional experience no doubt. You should definitely visit next time you're out there. Excellent call with In My Life as well. :o One of the greatest songs by anyone...agreed.



    (((RIP JOHN!))) :(

    that's so cool you got to see that lydia! i definitely wanna check that out when i go next year.

    and instant karma...what a great tune! i've been listening to beatles stuff all day...thank goodness we have the music left behind, it's incredible how it speaks to so many. there's no generation gaps when it comes to genius.

    i wonder what lennon would be like if he was alive today, what would he say about the current state of the world. we need people like him to speak up and speak out.

    :( RIP john.
