John Lennon 25 Years all Ready

I just watched the "John Lennon - Imagine Documentary on HBO.
I can't believe it is 25 years since he was killed.

Beth and I are now planning to go to Strawberry Fields on Dec 8 and be part of a memorial. If you would like to join us, Please feel free. We will be taking the bus into the city.

I am not an avid music listener anymore, so it has been a long time since I really listen to Beatles & Lennon Music. I have to say I was wowed at how meaniful it still is.These were GREAT GREAT songs by Great Artists. I think I don't listen to them any more because they make me sad.They seem to leave a hole in my heart.

I now regret never having seen the Beatles perform.

However, I was just reminded of this show that I was at in the summer of 1975, at Madison Square Garden in NYC. It was the Elton John Show that featured John Lennon. Lennon and John Performed Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds",& "I Saw Her Standing There" in what would be Lennon's last public performance.

  • I agree with you. I don't listen to Todays Popular Music. It is not speaking to me. I can not relate to it at all. I am afraid, that is a sign of age. Beside Rap, that seems to have a Adgenda,am not sure if todays music reflects much of what is going on in the hearts and minds of our 12-24 year olds.

    I guess the 60 and 70 are long gone. Perhpas the songs of that era will trasend.

  • That is very intresting to hear. I would have thought that these kids had somthing that I just don't understand.

    So the kids that you come in contact don't really have any music that identifys their stake in socity right now?

    That is not right.
    Music has become such a big business, that it forgot it core roots and what will last.
