I saw the (Just Like) Starting Over video last night on Classic Vh1 and that always makes me sad. Just the vision of John being old in a little cottage and scrap booking and remembering the past. I cry everytime.


But George, I don't even know how to put my feelings about him into words. George was so spiritual that I feel that he is safe. And I typed on another thread how I felt when he passed, and I never try to feel that way again. I hardly cry when I see George because he makes me so happy, but there are always times when something of his makes me cry. I don't think I'm ever going to get passed that.  I look up to George more than any person I know of. I feel that without George, without John, without The Beatles, I wouldn't be the person I am today. I love them all. But George will always be the special one to me.

AGREED.

I know that feeling. He touched our hearts with his beautiful and unique lyrics and songs and inspires us giving strength to pursue our dreams. Thus sometimes as I start listening to the first verses of imagine a nostalgic feeling comes along and I just start thinking about him. He was such a great man and a great artist and he gave us so much and I wonder if he could have given more than he did, he left such a great legacy along with his contributions for peace on earth and his name and this will never vanish, it will last forever. After everything he did he deserved to witness the reborn of a new and better world, a world with peace, brotherhood of man and justice with no fear nor violence or war.
He not only gave us beautiful songs he showed us that and that we can have peace if we want it. He left a new meaning of peace and proved it is possible and made us dream about it, the first step till it comes true and we must thank him for that. All we can do is honor him by remembering him with joy and thankfulness. I think it’s enough.
However he must not only be remembered as an artist (and he was a great one) but also as a great man who loved people and wanted to make the world a better place, who dedicated all his life to give the world everything he had, and who showed his face and stood for what he believed- peace and love.

very well put!  

I think what always inspires me about John is that he wore his heart on his sleeve. He was outspoken but he was brutally honest. He was fiery but also passionate. His passion and his honesty, whether it was manifested in his lyrics, his writings or the various interviews he did, are an example to everybody. He also inspired his peers and helped to shape a completely new generation's outlook on life, peace and love.

That's what I miss about him. If he were alive today, collecting his pension at the age of 68, I'm sure he would be a very vocal critic of the war in Iraq. At the same time I'm sure he'd be making great music.

Brandon Flowers of the Killers on "GOD":
"There`ll always be 15-year-olds who discuver the Beatles. But I really appreciated Lennon for how strong his solo work was. A lot of people lose it - whatever "it" is - and he didn`t. "God" ends with this beautiful thing where he says, "I was the Dreamweaver but now I`m reborn / I was the Walrus, but now I`m John." It just melts my heart every time. It shows that he kind of came full circle. He went through the drugs and everything, but came back to being John and being proud of it and telling the whole world."
