RIP John (angel2)(musicnotes)
-
God bless you John. 27 years. I cannot believe it.
-
Thinking back to that day, the shock is still just as strong.
I turned 40 last year and it really brought home just how much John Lennon achieved in such a short space of time - and he even took a five year break to bring up his son.
The lyrics of In My Life are always more poignant on this day.
-
John was a very unique, talented, and just all-around amazing person. He's done so much for the world and has had such an impact on all our lives with his music. I couldn't live without it! We all still love and miss you so much, John.
RIP JWL
-
John is still changing lives and making the world a brighter place even though he is no longer with us. John never ceases to lift me up whenever I am down, even though he died years before I was born. His music and legacy live on.
Thanks, John, for being such a huge part of my life, and for giving one of the greatest gifts one can give - the gift of your music. You'll never be forgotten. RIP.

RIP John. It's times like this that I wish I'd been around while you were still here...
-
R.I.P John. Like The End said, it is so true, John achieved so much in such a short space of time.

I love that pic of John at the piano Flaiming Pie!! :)
-
I listened to "War Is Over" in honor of him on Saturday. It's one of my favorites, and it still resonates with today's society. I hope that by 2010 I can be in Central Park for the vigil.

Yes, it's a sad day, as every year since 1980... Fortunately, his memory and music (whether with or without the Beatles) lives on ;yes

December 8th is a day that always includes a moment of thought, reflection, and sadness for me. My tribute this year was to listen to Double Fantasy all the way thru. I bought the vinyl on the day of release and the 8-track about a week later on November 24 so I could listen to it in my car. I was reading John's interview in Playboy when I heard the news of his shooting that night.

Here is a great April 1975 long interview with John Lennon when he had found out that day that Yoko was pregnant with Sean although he doesn't say this here. It's one of the main reasons that he is in such a happy mood! This interview was done the same month that his Tomorrow Show interview with Tom Snyder was done,but this interview is even better!

Here is the detailed description of what a crazy,horrible piece of sh*t the guy who killed John was,who was unbelievably a former big Beatles fan,and John had been his favorite since he was like 12 years old.He tried twice to kill himself very unfortunately unsuccessfully,once when he was 22 he tried to gas himself to death in his car but very unfortunately a guy found him and saved him! If only he hadn't found him or found him too late!
He even said years after he so cruelly and irrationally shot and killed John that he even met John's then 5 year old son Sean not long before he killed his father,and he shook Sean's little hand and said that he was the cutest little boy he ever saw and that it never occurred to him that he would never see his father again!
My father is a retired lawyer and in 1988 he saw the PBS Frontline special called,The Man Who Shot John Lennon which is on youtube,,and said what a crazy horrible guy!

He also admitted that he was also considering killing other celebrities,Elizabeth Taylor,Johnny Carson,the mayor of Hawaii,president Ronald Regan,Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis,Paul McCartney and actor George C Scott but he said John was a more accebsible target on his list! :'( icon_mad

I have to share this unreal personal storty.The night John was killed,hours before I did something I never had done before,for some unknown reasons I put some flowers I think they were dried flowers,into a Beatles book that I had since I got it for my 11th birthday years before,I also put a small piece of paper that I wrote December 8,1980 at about 9:40 or closer to 10pm, in the book on the same page with flowers. It wasn't unusual for me to be listening to Beatles albums at night,but again for some unknown reasons I had to keep playing John's song I Am The Walrus on my then turn table,over and over again,this was before and during 11pm when John was being shot and killed! The next day when I learned about John's death I looked in the Beatles book and I saw that the flowers were right near John's face in the group picture of The Beatles in India! :'( :o
I have never ever had any type of experience like this before or since!
-
In this April/May 1982 New Music Express interview with Paul McCartney he's asked about how he feels about John's murder and the it's a drag comment that he didn't mean and how horribly up set he really was and is and how he and John really loved each other.Paul also says that soon after John died he spoke with Yoko on the phone,( in a 1986 Entertainment This Week interview he says Yoko called him the day after John died and told him that John would tell Yoko that he really loved Paul) and that Yoko said to Paul,John was really fond of you,you know.

That's the jacket John used in the Rubber Soul cover, right? I always liked it.
This traditional folk song was adapted by Jim McGuinn to lament the assassination of John F. Kennedy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRanxGWKF8M# (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRanxGWKF8M#)
I'd like to express the same feeling by changing some words to cry the death of John W. Lennon:
He was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose, no reason or rhyme
Oh, he was a friend of mine
He was in New York town, he was in New York town
In Dakota archway a gunner shot him down
Oh, he died in New York town
He never knew my name, he never knew my name
Though I never met him I knew him just the same
Oh, he was a friend of mine
Leader of the Beatles for such a precious time
Oh, he was a friend of mine
-
RIP John We still love your music thanks for the awesome songs you are still missed much
-
RIP Johnny, your spirit lives on!

That's lovely, Andrés.

That's lovely, Andrés.
Thanks Kelley.
I changed very few words just related to facts, because the spirit of the song express the same feeling.

I know what you mean, Pothos.

This is a script I wrote for a recent challenge. We had to take an event from history and write a story set as if that event had never happened
-
thanks for the invite into that world. Nicely written. Makes you wonder
-
Well written, Steve. I wish it never happened and that another event was the topic of your script
-
That was powerful, Stevie. You captured him so well. Thanks for sharing.
-
I ilke the dialogue writing. It rings true. Nice work Stevie. .
-
Excellent work mate ;)
-
You are a talented writer.
-
Thank you for the kind words, guys. Once the theme of the challenge was revealed I knew it was gonna be based around John surviving in some way. Then the ending came to me straight away (the 2 events are pretty much the biggest in NYC history, certainly 9/11 is). I sorta cheated a bit by not actually showing John with these 1980's/90's world leaders as I couldn't be bothered lol plus there was a 15 page max restriction.
So I got around it by just showing the middle part of John's 'new' life. A couple of reviewers mentioned this on Simply Scripts but I will reveal it when the writers are revealed for all the scripts - we do it anon and part of the fun is guessing who wrote what but I think its redundant doing that now lol

I was born in 1989 and feel the same way. Other people (non Beatlemaniacs) probably don’t understand, but I still think about John and that terrible incident just about every day. He had the best personality and that lives on. It’s really hard to think about all the music and wisdom we lost, but we have no other choice but to savour what he gave us. And it was legendary. RIP John. 1980 - forever.

This day crept up on me this year. It’s a sad day for sure but it’s also a good day to remember John at his best.

All these years on and the events of that day still seem beyond human comprehension.

Couple more years then he will have been dead as long as alive, sad to imagine.
All these years on and the events of that day still seem beyond human comprehension.
What amazes me about your thought is that more "celebrities" aren't murdered out of jealousy and whatever was going through his delusional mind. Thankfully there aren't that many people that get to that space and act on their thoughts.
Two quotes of John's that I always enjoy reading this time of year:
"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life."
"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."
RIP

Ugh this day always makes me lonely. Sitting here listening to 'how do you sleep' and being sad.

Another year, gone 41 years, wow...my brother shares his birthday with today's anniversary, always a conflict of a family birthday joy and the reality of the downer of the day for us Beatle fans

I found this tribute to John, on the anniversary of his murder, extraordinarily touching, especially the last bit, with Paul's voiceover. I really hope others are able to access this. I believe even people without Instagram will be able to watch it if the account is open to the public, as this one is.
The owner of this account appears to be a young man in Germany. It's so heartening to see younger generations appreciate the Beatles:
