John Lennon was my Hero

It was 25 years ago today that John Lennon was shot to death just out-side of his apartment building.
I remember it like yesterday. I was in the back yard the following morning of his death tending my pot garden and my mother came running out in tears saying Johns been shot, John Lennon is dead... I couldn't believe my ears as I could never imagine anyone who would kill such a great peace activist, father, husband, song writer.
We can only imagine what the world would have been like with him in it with us.
John is dead but his spirit lives on in my heart as well as trillions of others.
Please take the time sometime today and play your favorite Lennon song.
Peace and Love to my lovely young flower children. Remember to give peace a chance in life before the battle. http://www.johnlennon.it/

Howdy hempy,

Yup..my daughter was only a few months old back then,and I remember,asking myself-'what's this world coming to?'. Boy howdy,things sure have changed since then....

Have a good one ....

I tell yeah... If there was a guru to ever follow in life, Lennon was the ticket. Although only 21 at the time of death his work was truthful and solid. I believed in him and feel our world would be more peaceful if lived.

omg i cant belive its been that long doesnt seem possible... he will always be missed and never be forgotten

I was 9 years old. What a horrible anniversary. Lennon was one of the greatest musicians our world has ever seen. He belongs right along side Bach, Beethoven, Miles Davis.

RIP John Lennon and thanks for all the great music you gave us while you were here.

Please list more stories...

I can remember that, my brother was in his twenties...first time I could recall ever seeing him cry. :(

He never cried as a child?

Or are you a lot younger, so you can't remember anything before his twenties?

From the musicians stand-point, he's the one person in the world that everyone should envy. No one will do it so well... I guess I'm just a jealous guy.

The Beatles are immortal...I always feel bad when I listen to "when Im 64"...Paul McCartney is the only one that gets to make it...
