It appears that The Beatles were aware of John Lennon's upcoming violent death, a full 12 years before he was actually shot down by Mark Chapman outside the Dakota Building in New York .This has to be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever seen posted. How the hell can you possibly surmise that they were 'aware of John Lennon's upcoming violent death' based on a picture they posed for in 1968? That's like taking the picture of them at Aldershot in 1961 where they are presiding over a (still smoking) Paul, in a mock funeral ceremony. Does that mean that someday when Paul dies that they were aware of his death in 1961? Is this picture disturbing? I suppose. But for Chrissakes, you've got to be out of your mind to think this is some kind of premonition. I courageously predict everyone posting on this site will die someday, just a feeling I have.
