On December 8th, 1980, I rode my RD400 to Griffith Park Observatory where bikers would congregate in the morning before heading out to the Rock Store or Angeles Crest. As I got off my bike, one of the guys I knew there told me of his murder.
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
Very nicely put... [thumbsup]
RIP John.
[coffee]
But we still have Yoko :-\
If everyone demanded Peace instead of a new television set, then there'd be peace.
RIP John Lennon <3
Hopefully she's still not recording. [bang] She always sounded like two cats fighting/mating. :P
I too remember exactly where I was when I heard. Having lunch in a tex-mex restaurant with my visiting red headed/green eyed Irish girlfriend from Iowa. [drool] OK... don't tell my wife about the drooling icon! [laugh]
RIP John [thumbsup]
My friend and I are going to do an "unplugged" set of Lennon music tonight at the pub to remember the 30th anniversary, so I've been going back over a lot of his stuff this past week. Some of it is great, some -not so much. What's your favorite Lennon music?
Probabaly when he was with the Beatles.
I'm a Beatlemaniac, but I like most of "Double Fantasy" too. I think we were just about to see a new Lennon, with some of his issues resolved.
while living in Manhattan a few years back, my wife & I went to Strawberry Fields on his birthday
we ended up hanging out for 2+ hours, singing songs with a crowd of 60+ peeps, many had brought instruments
warms my heart just thinking back on it
wish he was still with us... ahhh, what could have been...
Thank you John! [beer]

QuoteOno began telephoning and calling at Lennon's home, and when his wife (Cynthia Powell) asked for an explanation, he explained that Ono was only trying to obtain money for her "avant-garde bullshit". In May 1968, while his wife was on holiday in Greece, Lennon invited Ono to visit. They spent the night recording what would become the Two Virgins album, after which, he said, they "made love at dawn." When Lennon's wife returned home she found Ono wearing her bathrobe and drinking tea with Lennon who simply said, "Oh, hi." Ono became pregnant in 1968 and miscarried a male child they named John Ono Lennon II on 21 November 1968, a few weeks after Lennon's divorce from Cynthia was granted.
