It's also the day I was born!
Strangely I've always felt a connection with Lennon. Not in a weird way, but in a musical way. I'm a huge lennon fan. More lennon than the beatles.
Wish I coulda seen him play too!

Anyone going to Strawberry Fields today in NYC? I think ill stop by after work, I'm a big fan of his/the Beatles and I want to pay my respect. I remember the first time I walked past the side entrance to the Dakota building where he was shot, it was very weird.
It really is strange that he's dead (even though he and I were never alive at the same time). I've found myself reading the book The Beatles Anthology, and listening to them a lot lately. I group up very much on the Beatles, but for the most part in the last 4 years, they have been absent as part of what I would listen to regularly. However, over the last 6 months I have very much started listening to them a lot again. I wish I could have seen them perform.
You had a great impact on the world John. Thank you.
you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.
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 will forever be missed. many of us were not around before his death, but his music has forever impacted us. that's the greatest testament to his musicianship -- his creations are timeless.
It's amazing to see the level of respect and admiration for the Beatles/Lennon even today, especially in the younger crowd who weren't even around when he was killed. Really, no other band comes close to matching up.
I quote a David Gilmour song, 'Murder', in which it is said to be his response to Lennon's killing, although the lyrics (especially how the killing occurred- shooting vs stabbing) leave it somewhat up to the listener to apply. I find it apt, and it is not surprising that I think it is one of his strongest solo songs.
RIP, John.
Some of them standing, some were waiting in line
As if there was something that they thought they might find
Taking some strength from the feelings that always were shared
And in the background, the eyes that just stared
What was it brought you out here in the dark
Was it your only way of making your mark
Did you get rid of all the voices in your head
Do you now miss them and the things that they said
On your own admission you raised up the knife
And you brought it down ending another man's life
When it was done you just threw down the blade
While the red blood spread wider like the anger you made
I don't want this anger burning in me
It's something from which it's so hard to be free
But none of the tears that we cry in sorrow or rage
Can make any difference, or turn back the page
I'm a huge Lennon fan too. So sad:( I know what you mean Yosi, I wasn't born until after he died either... but its strange, I almost feel like I miss him.
I was only a month and a half old, when Lennon was brutally taken away from us, but I know the impact that he had on everyone who was touched by his music. My older brother was a HUGE Lennon fan (he still is) and when he tells me when he first heard about it, he said he was devestated and he could not believe it that wonderful man was taken by some psycho! From my brother, i grew up w/the Beatles and John Lennon solo stuff. The stuff he wrote w/ and w/o the beatles are truly amazing and beautiful. Gimme Some Truth and Mother are powerful songs!
I still wish he was still around b/c the music world, in fact, the WHOLE world needs Lennon today!
RIP John Winston Ono Lennon

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

Sadly there's not really been anyone like him since...
RIP John.
That is very nobel of you. We need more people who would think selflessly so I am sure you make a big difference to the people around you.
I just wish his song imagine could be realized in real life so no more people would have to die needlessly.
