Strawberry Fields forever .... 40 years gone

[Captante]

John Lennon died 40 years ago today ... still hurts like it was yesterday at least for me.

Yeah..still sad. How many times I've wished Chapman had killed Yoko instead...

but she wasn't the walrus

Oh yes she was, just look at her mug.

 

[Captante]

but she wasn't the walrus

Neither was John !

"here's another clue for you all ... the Walrus was Paul"

 

[BoomerD]

Oh yes she was, just look at her mug.

But she SOUNDS like someone is strangling a turkey when she "sings."

Sounds like the most beautiful songbird descended from heaven.

Couldn't watch the whole thing. My mind has its' limits...

However, she seems to be a person with unique character traits. Lennon had millions of potential partners in this world, yet he chose her, I suspect he loved her Free Spirit.

I'm NOT clicking on that...I'm just about ready to have dinner.

Oh dear God, do I feel old!

No shit. I was sitting in the barbershop in the Hotel Nevada in Ely, NV, watching Monday NightFootball, waiting to get a haircut when Howard Cosell made the announcement.

I actually didn't hear till the next morning from Richard Neer on NY WNEW FM.

I had overslept and skipped school that day ... woke up to the radio.

I was sitting at home, an adolescent hating school, freezing cold because it was a particularly cold winter and the heating had been cut off due to a gas-leak. Odd how things stick in your memory like that.

“Not that I condone fascism, or any -ism for that matter. -Ism's in my opinion are not good. A person should not believe in an -ism, he should believe in himself. I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me." Good point there. After all, he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. I'd still have to bum rides off people.”
