Crap, it's been that long already.
Haven't forgotten you, John.
Playing one of yours..

My first reaction is, "OMG that's crazy". But then I'm thinking this just may be crazy enough to work.

Hi Lyn,
It's horrid feeling yourself being dragged back to that awful numbing moment when the news came through and you hoped it was all a mistake.
I've had a knot in my tummy all day, just like I did then.
Love,
Caz

Hi Lyn, Caz, and everyone
You might be all interested in this article on the Liverpool Echo site, "Lennon - the last big interview." Also other links there to other Lennon and Beatles items of interest.
All my best
Chris

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 isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
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 Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

The following song by Lennon and McCartney was sung on Saturday at the funeral of George Best in Belfast--
The Long and Winding Road
The long and winding road
that leads to your door
will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me her
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
that the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
crying for the day
Why leave me standing here
let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
and many times I've cried
Any way you'll never know
the many ways I've tried
But still they lead me back
to the long winding road
You left me standing here
a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
to the long winding road
You left me standing here
a long long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Though I know it will surprise some of you (especially How, who seems to be sure I'm about 12  ) I remember this event too.
What I remember more, though, was the mass of Beatles reissued albums and special one-off Lennon magazines filling the racks in Boots and WH Smiths respectively for weeks afterwards. I still have 2 of the magazines I bought. It was one of my earliest brushes with mortality.

Hi all,
It’s hard to believe 25 years have past yet that moment in time is so ingrained in my memory; I can see it as if it happened yesterday. The thing I liked about Lennon was he was a great speaker of truth. He had a charming sense of humor and a devastating razor sharp wit. I’d love to here him comment on today’s world. |

Hi, all
I thought you might like to see this pic I found of the mosaic at Strawberry Fields in Central Park, New York City, close to the Dakota where John and Yoko lived.
