I wanted to post this yesterday and was surprised no one else did..

John Lennon was killed on December 8th 1980.. It's amazing how many time I see musician talk about the impact he still has / had on them on them and how relevant his music still has today.

One of his hits that seems fitting..

One of my favorite things I did in NYC was going to see the Dakota and the Strawberry Fields memorial.

Awesome post Francis. Interesting fact. The guy who shot Lennon was obsessed with Catcher and the Rye and as he was being taken away he said "I am the catcher and the rye"

as I was just 11 when Lennon was shot, it takes a lifetime to wrap your head around his influence musically alone. I never knew the "hell" he went through by the US government and the FBI. He just wanted something simple: peace....RIP, Mr. Lennon and thanks for all that you gave us through your music and life.
