Full Version: RIP John Lennon

26 years ago today, Mark David Chapman shot John Lennon four times in front of his home/hotel. (And completely missed Yoko Ono, for the record) The end of an era, in my opinion. Fuck the music, fuck the fame, this guy was something this world has had a hard time living without.

QUOTE(John Lennon)
We're trying to sell peace, like a product, you know, and sell it like people sell soap or soft drinks. And it's the only way to get people aware that peace is possible, and it isn't just inevitable to have violence. Not just war — all forms of violence. People just accept it and think 'Oh, they did it, or Harold Wilson did it, or Nixon did it,' they're always scapegoating people. And it isn't Nixon's fault. We're all responsible for everything that goes on, you know, we're all responsible for Biafra and Hitler and everything. So we're just saying "SELL PEACE" — anybody interested in peace just stick it in the window. It's simple but it lets somebody else know that you want peace too, because you feel alone if you're the only one thinking 'wouldn't it be nice if there was peace and nobody was getting killed.' So advertise yourself that you're for peace if you believe in it.

My mom claims Yoko was behind it all. She really hates her. mellow.gif

A long time ago my mom told me that when he died she and my aunt were driving on the parkway and they interrupted the music to say he had been killed and they both started to cry. I always think about that and then I'm sad.

You can't even really say anything about the guy except R.I.P.

EDIT: I also recall having conversations with friends, family, etc. where the most common 'what if?' scenario is always 'what if John Lennon was never shot?'

I've passed Strawberry Fields while accompanying my friend to buy LSD, does that count?

I'm not buying your "peace." It's probably made by some toothless Malaysian boy.

Ehh, sucks that he was murdered, but he's just another hippy of that era, thinking that a little drugs and free love will somehow make war disappear. War is inevitable as long as people live on the earth.

Uh, or not.

It belongs because they both played guitar and we're both shot and should not have been. Also, the date.
