DEATH OF JOHN LENNON

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7agErfe9nb4 I WAS JUST WATCHING THIS VID ON YOU TUBE , ATRIBUTE TO JOHN LENNON AFTER HIS DEATH ON 12-14-80.I THINK EVERYONE REMEMBERS WHERE THEY WERE WHEN THEY HEARD THE AWFUL NEWS THAT JOHN LENNON DIED BY U GUNSHOT TO HIS HEAD BY A MARK CHAPMAN .THE WHOLE WORLD WAS IN SHOCK...AND 1000s OF PEOPLE WENT TO LENNONS APARTMENT ,WHERE HE WAS SHOT TO MOURN THE FALLEN BEATLE...IT HAS BEEN 28 YEARS ,AND I STILL GET TEARIED EYED WHEN I THINK ABOUT JOHN OR HER HIS MUSIC.
LENNON WAS AN IDOL TO MANY PEOPLE ,AND HE STILL IS SORELY MISSED .PERHAPS BECUASE HE DIED A SENSELESS DEATH. MURDER ,WHY? HE DID NO ONE HARM.LENNON RALLIED FOR PEACE,WROTE A SONG PROTESTING THE VIETNAM WAR.HE LED MANY PEACE PROTESTS AGAINST THE VIETNAM WAR.THE PROTESTORS WOULD SING LENNON S SONG "GIVE PEACE A CHANCE"AND HIS SONG WAS SUNG ALL OVER THE WORLD...TO END VIETNAM WAR.
BUT TODAY AS I LISTEN TO HIS MUSIC...I JUST CRIED AND CRIED...IT WAS SO SAD THAT A YOUNG MAN(HE WAS 40 )LIFE ENDED SO SUDDEN.FOR ME HE WAS A PART OF MY CHILDHOOD MY YOUTH AND MY ADULTHOOD. I HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF HIS SONGS ,AND FOND MEMORIES OF THE BEATLES.THE BEATLES HAD SONGS OF LOVE ,HOPE,HAPPINESS.LIFE AND DEATH.THERE WERE MANY SONGS THAT I ASSOCIATED WITH THE ROUGH TIMES .BREAKUPS ,DEATHS .MARRIAGE,JUST LIFE IN GENERAL.AND I RELATED TO THOSE SONGS .IN EIGHT GRADE ,WE SANG LET IT BE IN OUR YOUTH CHURCH MASS.WE DANCED TO ALL MY LOVING .SHE LOVES YOU AND I WANNA HOLD YOUR HAND. ,TO JUST NAME A FEW WE ,MANY,LOVED THE BEATLES ,TRULLY I LOVED THEM.HOW CAN YOU LOVE SOMEONE YOU NEVER MET,ROCK SINGERS,BUT I THINK YOU CAN.THEY SANG ABOUT THEIR LIVES THEY SANG AND WE SANG ALONG WITH THEM..YOU FELT YOU KNEW THEM ,,FROM THEIR MUSIC,THEY WERE JUST LIKEABLE PEOPLE.THEY ALMOST SEEMED TO GROW ALONG WITH US.THEY WERE SO LAID BACK ,AND AT LEAST FOR ME ..I ,THEIR MUSIC JUST REACHED ,TOUCHED MY SPIRIT.THEY LAUGHED AND THEY WERE JUST ..FUNNY
THEY SUNG ABOUT LIFE .THE WAR ,THE DRUGS ,THEY SUNG ABOUT THE DEATHS OF THEIR MOMS.,AND LOVE.YOU GOT TO KNOW THEM THRU THEIR SONGS.WE DANCED TO THEIR SONGS AT OUR WEDDING. AT OUR PROM, DURING YOUR FIRST KISS,YOU SANG THEIR SONGS TO YOUR BABIES.THE BEATLES JUST BECAME A PART OF YOUR LIVES AND I MADE LOVE TO THEIR MUSIC.
.AND EVEN NOW .AFTER ALMOST 45 YEARS SINCE THE BEATLES CAME TO AMERICA,,THEY ARE STILL POPULAR ,YOR CHIDREN DANCE TO THEIR MUSIC AND YOUR CHILDREN SING THEIR MUSIC.IT IS SOMETHING SPECIAL. IT MAKES ME FEEL ALIVE ,IT MAKES ME HAPPY IT MAKES ME SMILE.AND YES I DO LOVE THEM...I KNOW PEOPLE WHO SAY YOU CANT LOVE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN DIFFERANT COUNTRIES.BUT I THINK THE BEATLES SAY IT WELL "ALL WE NEED IS LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IS ALL WE NEED' AND THE BEATLES MADE OUR LIVES A LITTLE BETTER ,LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDERIES....BUT....THEY WILL LEARN IN TIME
THAT WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW IS LOVE SWEET LOVE
..AND SO TODAY..I WILL SIT BACK ,BRING OUT THE BEATLES MUSIC ,
AND REMEMBER....YOU GET BY WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOUR FRIENDS.


AND REMEMBER THE LOVE YOU TAKE IS EQUAL TO THE LOVE YOU MAKE

PEACE
