Imagine there's no Heaven 
It's easy if you try 
No hell below us 
Above us only sky 
Imagine all the people 
Living for today 

Imagine there's no countries 
It isn't hard to do 
Nothing to kill or die for 
And no religion too 
Imagine all the people 
Living life in peace 



John Lennon
10/9/1940 - 12/8/1980 - forever

Your music has meant so much to me, thank you.

Especially the songs of Let it Be, Plastic Ono Band, and this little number.

Admirable person.

I sometimes wonder what he would he if he lived 30-40 up until now.
There's a point where "avant-garde" and "experimental" becomes "terrible" and "pointless,"

Wow, wish I could be in NY tonight to feel the energy in the park.

Gotta say I'm pretty surprised that this thread didn't get a few more hits of love from our music loving audience. 

I know its easy to be cynical these days since every day is somebodys anniversary of something day and these things are old hat.  But if there was one person I figured might make people jot down some feelings, I thought it would be this one.  Well I played a bunch of his stuff today and had a moment. 

Thanks Micah for posting it.

No problem, bro. I guess us few in the know about John's genius will just celebrate his legacy amongst ourselves. Wink

I forgot to mention that my sister shares the birthdate, vintage '68. Big smile

I think I'll pop in Rubber Soul and drink a toast to John.

I totally got your meaning dude...

Lennon had taken a leave for parenthood and was apparently getting his groove back on.
