It was 25 years ago today.......oh yeah....

OK folks I know - Rupe's off on Lennon/music again - but hey he was a huge impact on my life and I know for others in our little community on line.

So today, twentyfive years ago Mark Chapman shot John Lennon dead in New York City and the world mourned.

If you've been reading a certain other thread you're know that I am in "mourning" at this time and many tears are being shed - but you're also know that my music is keeping me "grounded" at this moment in time.

So to John - cheers man - thanks for all the great songs!!

"Nobody told me there'd be days like these. Strange days indeed - most peculiar mama"

And ain't that the truth.

I'll end with these words by John - they are just a little relevant to me at this moment in time lol!!:

Somehow the wires have crossed
Communications lost
Can't even get you on the telephone
JUst got to shout about it
I'm losing you

You say you're not getting through
But I remind you of all that bad stuff
So what the hell am I supposed to do?
Just put a bandaid on it?
And stop the bleeding now
Stop the bleeding now

I know I hurt you then
But hell that was way back when
And well, do you still have to carry that cross?
Don't want to hear about it
I'm losing you
I'm losing you

Here in the valley of indecision
I don't know what to do
I feel you slipping away
I feel you slipping away
I'm losing you
I'm losing you.

The world still misses your words man - Give Peace A Chance

Rupe,

I love John Lennon too. "Imagine" is my favorite song of all time.

Some very wise words came from this man. Thanks Rupert, for the memories.
Imagine and In my life have always been favorites.


There are places I remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more

In my life I love you more
