1. Yeah... I remember it saddened me when he got killed. |
|
Not that he was a hero or anything. But a rowdy mate with a very cool voice. Man, this guy had a voice I love! Listen to the 63-64 songs...

3. I started collecting Beatles records when I was a teenager |
|
This was in the late 80's, so they were getting rare by that time. When I was a kid, I couldn't appreciate Lennon's solo work. Now, I understand and appreciate it much more than I could have as a kid. But I'm still a Beatles fan. And yes, he had an amazing voice.

4. the more I learned about John the more I got to love him |
|
When I was teenager, he was just a musician with some great hits. In the 80s I was more into punk and new wave and ignored him. Now I see excerpts of him on documentaries and realize that he was a profound peace activist and cultural leader. We miss you, John! I can still imagine.

Imagine there's no heaven 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 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 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
:thumbsup:
