RIP John Lennon, its been 30 years since you've been gone.

But we all shine on.

Crying or Very sad

and remember - "life is what happens to you, while you're busy making other plans ..."

take a minute to treasure the people you love and care about because anything can change in a flash, as John Lennon's death proved.

R.I.P. one of my all time idols and greatest songwriters of all time.

...and of course at the point of his untimely death ... "Nobody told me there'd be day's like these" d'oh!

Just saw the Beatles tribute band The Fab Four for the 3rd time on July at the Lodi grape festival here in California, they do a great job no just looking like them, but speaking and the mannerisms of t each of them, not to mention sounding more like The Beatles than The Beatles Shocked

Man, 30 years have gone by rather quickly, it seems... it least it seems it was not so long ago I heard Lennon was dead, and I stayed up all night listening to the radio as they played Beatles and Lennon tunes and reported the latest news on the murder. At the time, Lennon was my hero. Since then, I've developed a more sober assessment of the man, but an even greater appreciation for the actual music. Like so many popular music icons, Lennon's story is so tragic -- can somebody tell me why that is so?

the biggest sadness is that after a rough few years, he had just gotten his life back in order, loved being a dad, stopped letting drugs and alcohol dictate his life and stopped the wild partying, wrote some of his best songs since The Beatles, was at peace with himself and back in love with Yoko after leaving her in the mid 70s for a period of time.

After all the stress of the deportation hearings, issues with drugs and alcohol and having a period where he almost totally fell apart, he was in a renaissance. Then it was all over just like that and even though I was only 9 when he died, I was really sad because I had been listening to his albums with my dad since I was about 4 or 5.

One of the reasons why I love Lennon is because of his imperfections - he was never shy about admitting his own weaknesses and the media twisted a lot of stuff said by him.

Most of his songs are timeless and classic in my eyes at least.

I still remember hearing Howard Cossell reporting on it.

RIP John. You were my favorite Beatle. You loved America, but it sure treated you badly.

It is difficult for me to accept the fact that two of the Beatles are gone. After the Vietnam war ended, John would have found another cause to *quiz* off the government. Maybe "Give Green a Chance". RIP.

I, too, stayed up all night 30 years ago and listened to his single albums.

This one, hit me like he wrote it for Chapman,
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCucBWwCxCg
He forgives him..."don't you worry 'bout what you have done"
And he was a bit off on the date..."remember, the 5th of November", and then the loud blast...

I miss him and wonder what it would be like to have him with us.
