John Lennon, 29 years ago today....

I don't know why but I always remember this day. Not like the Beatles or John Lennon meant much to me when I was 9 years old but I always remember hearing it on Good Morning America that he was shot and killed and I always think about it on Dec 8th. To bad, I bet he'd still be making good music today had this not happened.

"just a singer in a rock and roll band"? whether or not you are a fan of the beatles or john lennon's solo work, it's quite ignorant to be unaware of his towering contributions and iconic status not only in music, but in society throughout the world. listen to the words of "imagine". we still have not learned those lessons.

Fortunately, Lennon lived long enough to record the masterpiece, John Jennon/Plastic One Band (1970).

Changed the face of music? To a certain extent,yes.
Changed the way we live our lives? Absolutely not.

Does anyone recall what book was in the killer's pocket and what LP he was obsessed with (hint, not a Beatles or a Lennon album).
