twenty five years ago
 

John Lennon was murdered 25 years ago today. He had a very large influence on my life when I was young. On this day every year I listen to nothing but his music and for me its as good now as it was when it first came out.

Fred

I agree his music will never die :)

*listening to double fantasy*.. i have 2 days worth of blogging on this very subject. for me it was the beginning of the "day the music died" The end was in May of 1981.

Great post and I agree that is music is still as good today also |thumb

huhhhhh i was only 12 years old that time........i dont like johns lennon music, oke some i like but most not, still sucked he got killed that time.

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.

We also just passed the 36th anniversary of the murder of another "60s icon", Fred Hampton.

Was John and Fred related?

You old fuckers, I was not even born then.

John was a genius. I didn't know Fred.
