Well it's December 8 and I did not really feel like trying to write another mourning cloak to put on again, all of which concerns the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death,but the truth is I liked John, very much. For a good many years John was a wonderful,gifted, silly friend to most of us, sending us extraordinary missives of music, poetry, films,cartoons and art.He inspired a lot of us to always hope for a better world. And he was fun to be around,not all of the time, even if it was just all in our headphones.He didn't deserve bullets in the back. That's all I'm saying.Peace was given a chance and it failed to stop the violence.But John made a difference to me. The music of the Beatles still matters to me and is as much a part of living a good solid life on this earth for me as breathing.Bye John.Thanks, pal. Let it be.dp

John Lennon had a singular vision. One of my favorite's is LET IT BE.
Good words to follow

I’ve been listening to John’s songs all day. He died shortly before I was born, and it’s always been hard knowing I missed him, but in some ways he’s always been around for me. Still, though, what I would give!

Thanks Matt. We are not alone. Did you see Paul on Jimmy Fallon singing his song for John. Jesus, what a profoundly moving moment on this earth. The real Paul McCartney singing about the real John Lennon, saying "I am holding back the tears no more."John lives as long as hope lives, as long as music lives, as long as dreamers dream.
