John Lennon killed on this day('Dead On This Day, Still Dead' list)

So instead of Paul playing with sheep and John being deep and heavy you got a great song with good lyrics.

One of my favorite examples would be "We Can Work It Out".

A good song made great with John's addition of:

Life is very short, and there's no ti..i..i..i..ime, for fussing and fighting my friend.

You! Yes, you behind the bikesheds, stand still laddy!

Why is John Kerry standing next to Lennon?

He looks like the dork everyone avoided in high school.

Thank you very much for illustrating my point so well in #77. Really, I do appreciate it! As I said, small and pedestrian!

I don't understand why so many love the beatles music.

Objectively speaking, Lennon and McCartney were perhaps the greatest pop music songwriting team ever (in spite of the few duds they created). As performers, they were adequate.

All the hysteria and idolatry surrounding them is just silly. Last year I rented "A Hard Days Night" for my daughters to watch. They were singularly unimpressed, and thought they had bad teeth.

Shhh. You'll get RC riled up again.

No that was the Isley Brithers.

But the Beatles flat owned that tune after their go at it.

First time I heard white boys (British at that!) that could do an R&B cover and blow the original away.

It was the best of times and the worst of times. It was raining.

I was driving in from the Bronx to our apartment in Hell's Kitchen when I heard the news on the radio.

By the time I got to the Dakota the police had the blue barriers up around the entrance and there were about 50 people standing in the rain.

There was one single candle lit in the window above the entrance (someone else's home), and a few candles burning under umbrellas in the street.

I can still feel the grayness, cold and heartbreak of that day.

"Yes, my guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow.
Ah, but I was so much older then,
I'm younger than that now."

LOL!!

Yep...back in the days when that neighborhood was fairly safe anyway. Oh sure we'd get our fair share of Friday and Saturday night drunks, but they were relatively harmless...one even gave me a $2.00 tip, when the Manager wasn't looking, of course. Actually I was part of the clean-up crew, which often gave me the unpleasant task of cleaning the scuzzy bathrooms. Oh, well. Had to start somewhere.
