I miss you John...

"There are millions of people in this world whose lives were enriched by John Lennon, his persona and his music. He told his truth and it was the truth of an entire generation. His death was a tragedy, but his life was an inspiration. His legacy is timeless."

American reporter to Beatles: "Some people say your hair-cuts are un-American."

Lennon to reporter: "Very observant. We're not Americans."




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 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

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 that 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

3. I remember that night so well.

I was playing in a band at the time and me and my good friend and guitarist Steve were sitting there on his sofa working out some stuff with acrostic guitars while the Monday night game played out softly in the background on the small TV.

Howard Cosell told us the news and we just sat there for a while, hands dead on the fretboards, stunned into silence. Then Norwegian Wood, then She's Leaving Home, then Revolution, then Imagine. The songs just came out and we had no words beyond that, but the music did the talking.

I'll never, as long as I live, forget that night, and playing those songs.
