What a great man...what a great loss...

There's no one like him and never will be...

God bless you John...thanks for the music....

December 8th

Spent most of my day as every year on this day, at Strawberry Fields, as always a very big turnout even almost 30 years later.

oh ya, John Lennon.... a legend

its too late... You can't continue to mourn because there is nothing you can do...

if those people only knew where he ended up they wouldn't be trying to celebrate anything thing

and where was that? Hell

I doubt it, my hell would probably be your idea of heaven, i reckon it is all reversed, the ultimate penalty

Oh lord are we getting into this nonsense of Heaven and Hell again.....

27 years on and people are still mounring it? Don't get me wrong, I'm as big a Beatles fan as they come and Lennon is my favourite Beatles and always has been. But the dude is dead. It was sad when it happened. But come on. Move on people. There's nothing to see here.

... interesting point view.

Here's Tribute Song Elton & Bernie Wrote after John's death titled Empty Garden:



Empty Garden Lyrics:


What happened here
As the New York sunset disappeared
I found an empty garden among the flagstones there
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And now it all looks strange
It's funny how one insect can damage so much grain

And what's it for
This little empty garden by the brownstone door
And in the cracks along the sidewalk nothing grows no more
Who lived here
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
And we are so amazed we're crippled and we're dazed
A gardener like that one no one can replace

And I've been knocking but no one answers
And I've been knocking most all the day
Oh and I've been calling oh hey hey Johnny
Can't you come out to play

And through their tears
Some say he farmed his best in younger years
But he'd have said that roots grow stronger if only he could hear
Who lived there
He must have been a gardener that cared a lot
Who weeded out the tears and grew a good crop
Now we pray for rain, and with every drop that falls
We hear, we hear your name

Johnny can't you come out to play in your empty garden

I agree; also, his solo career after the Imagine album was somewhat irrelevant, yet listenable, though

I mean, his death is surely the most brutal of the whole rock history, but from a musical point of view, I find Otis Redding death much more important...

You're as brainless as any muslim fanatic...

Rest in Peace John.

DarlingDiana said:

JoeTyler said:

Exactly! Im not in mourning over John Lennon, im remembering someone that affected me, and his death effected me to back in 1980, because i didnt grow up with the Beatles around me, i was born the year they broke up so my memories of them are more nostalgic through my older brothers who played their music and his and many others, its kind of like when i heard Emilo Estevez talk about when Bobby Kennedy was murdered and he didnt understand it but he saw how it affected his dad and thats how he learned about him. So its not about walking around and saying "why did it happen". I mean if thats the case than almost no one should take off on Holidays, i mean does anyone celebrate Lincoln or Washington's birthday, no its just an excuse to take off.

YEAH! I saw it on "Behind the Music". The way he was taken out was sick.

As is the guy who just randomly shot John for no apparent reason other than obsession. Sad fucks the killers of John & Dimebag are.

RIP to John and Dimebag.
