I forgot about the anniversary yesterday as well. I was in 11th grade and was getting ready for school when I heard about it on the radio.
Unfortunately, I attribute Lennon's death with my rapid decline of my prior love of Beatles music. Talk about being overplayed in the days & weeks following his death.
i enjoyed that. poor john, what a waste to die like he did. thanks val.x
ReplyDeleteOh my ... that particular Beatles song, mixed with those stills, packs a powerful punch, Val. A lovely tribute to Mr. Lennon.
ReplyDeleteOh my, I'd forgotten all about this anniversary! How could I? I was devastated.
ReplyDeleteLovely tribute, Val. I remember doing one hours after we heard the news of his death. The narration took forever because I kept crying.
Thanks for posting this.
John was befriended with Abbie Hoffman, btw.
ReplyDeleteStill loving his album "imagine".
Still asking the question...WHY?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tribute Val.
In 1980 I didn't really know who John was ( I was only 10) but in the years since I've come to understand much more about him and his music.
ReplyDeleteWonderful tribute Val,thank you
Times DOES fly.....
ReplyDeleteOh my God I cannot believe it was 28 years ago.
