John Lennon

John Lennon would have been 70 today.

But some rotten bastard shot him.

There are a four people from this time that were my heros. For me, he is in the company of Gandhi, John Kennedy and Martin Luther King.

I am left wondering what the world would be like today, if they all lived. How can any nation or world make it with our best and greatest leaders assassinated?

Who is left to be the voice of greatness? The voice of peace. The voice of kindness. The voice of kindred spirits.

I miss them. And yearn for them.

The Beatles, with Lennon in the lead, shatter what was possible in the music world. Then, turned their attention to the world, and social change.

The sentiments in his song "Imagine" sum up his life well.

For some of us, this song has become sacred.

May you rest in peace, John.
