Lennon memorial thread.
RIP, John. Your music defined a generation and a movement. Especially this one:Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn’t hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...

Imagine no possessions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say Im a dreamer,
but Im not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

2. I feel a particular kinship to John.
I played the guitar and sang professionally for years and years.

Not that I ever came close to his genius and talent.

;)

7. Very few ever will, my friend
But at least you can play and sing. I couldn't carry a tune with a forklift.

Best song ever written. Sums it all up.

5. Imagine all the people, holding one another's hands, in Pepperland.
Twelve years old, April 1964, and have never been the same again. Goo goo goo goo goo joob. I once had a girl, or should I say, she once had me.

8. Instant Karma
Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you right on the head
You better get yourself together
Pretty soon you're gonna be dead
What in the world you thinking of
Laughing in the face of love
What on earth you tryin' to do
It's up to you, yeah you

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna knock you off your feet
Better recognize your brothers
Ev'ryone you meet
Why in the world are we here
Surely not to live in pain and fear
Why on earth are you there
When you're ev'rywhere
Come and get your share

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Come on and on and on on on
Yeah yeah, alright, uh huh, ah

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
On and on and on on and on

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Yeah we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun








Still miss ya John

9. We Love you John!!!
I am just somewhat thankful he didn't live to see this day. Despite his great words, we (as a people) have done great shame to the thought and pursuit of world peace. This day and age would have broken John's hart.

REST IN PEACE JOHN LENNON....

May your words live on FOREVER....

Imagine all the people, living life in PEACE.
