Easter Monday
John Lennon was shot and killed 18 years ago today. 18 years ago our lives were touched, each and every one of us living that day. 18 years ago today everything changed. Celebrities would never again trust a stranger on the street. One mad man changed it all, and for what? To retaliate for something made up.
It's very sad. I want to go to Strawberry Fields today, but I'm feeling a little ill. I hope it clears up and I can go stand in the freezing cold with hundreds of other Beatles fans in Central Park.
I want to get frostbite for John. He was truly an asshole, but he was also a hero of mine. His words changed my world, from the time I could put my own non-Fisher Price record on a platform I would spin the red and blue albums. My youth was molded by his words and visions. Even today I feel it, listening to the hours of tapes released since then. I know that his genius didn't happen every moment, sometimes he failed outright, but he never stopped believing in the message, he never stopped writing and creating.
We can all learn a lot from John Lennon.
