John Lennon 24 1/2
It occurred to me today that it is the eight of June. Nothing ever happened on the eight of June, that's why they put it there. It's one of those obscurantic days I like to point out now and then.
Six months from today will be 25 years that John Lennon is dead. You know how long ago that is? 25 years before that, James Dean died, less than 20 before Lennon died he had his first hit (recording :>)) and 10 years before, the Beatles broke up. The only 2 times I cried about someone dying outside the family was when John Lennon died, and when he helped kill the Beatles.
Goddamnit. Life is supposed to be an orgy of freedom, happiness and peace. There's no point to it without those three things. John Lennon helped bring freedom and happiness to my world and move the rest of you closer to peace.
But he's dead. Jesus, dead before lots of others who would be better off dead. All, the way around. The bum didn't even kill him for a good reason.
Earth is still a pretty nice planet. It would be nicer with John Lennon in it.
I miss you Johnny.
