I have a question to pose to all John Lennon fans that became his fans, after his death, or for that matter, anyone who has become the fan of a rockstar who has passed, after they passed..?

The exact question is..How do you deal with it? Doesn't it bug you that you won't ever get to see them perform live in a concert? Does it ever frusterate you?

It might sound kind of lame. But I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts. Thanks!

yes.

bothers the hell out of me.

strawberry fields was one of the first places i went to in NYC

How do I cope?..um...listening to the brilliant music he left behind. This question is strange because once an artist passes on, does anyone STOP listening to his/her music because they are dead? The person is,physically no longer here but his art is here forever. Going back to Mozart...I would think that answer would be kinda easy to answer. If anything the artists (esp in the pop/rock world) become MORE popular than they were when they were alive. Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix... As for Lennon (who I am a HUGE fan of), sure I would've loved to see thim live and it DOES frustrate me to a certain extent, I guess, but I cure that feeling by putting on Plastic Ono Band or Imagine.

Finally I get more frustrated by living artists who have messed so much with their public image that it has ruined any artistic respect I had for him/her.
