I was going through a separation with my ex & had just moved back in
with my parents temporary when I heard the news next day on Good Morning
America.

Been wondering if Chapman is still in prison or walking the streets.

I heard McCain sent him a letter Obama was porking Jodie.

Wow. I had just turned 21 and it barely made a blip on my radar screen,
though I did like the Beatles. I just had too much stuff going on.

You're a young 'un! I didn't go into a funk over this death, but his
murder did make me pause because he was an icon of my generation.

I got really upset over the death of Harry Chapin in 1981. And Frank Zappa's
death tore me up. (I mean *tore* me up. I adored him, his music, what he was
trying to do.)

The subject itself is *almost* a Beatles song It was 20 years ago today,
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play...

I don't do "dead spreads" but I did like the Beatles. I think the British
Invasion of the States was 1964. The Ed Sullivan show:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x93KArccaZg

My mother loved them, too, which I found rather surprising. My father was
more into big band music, the whole 1940's and 50's "swing" thing. Imagine
my surprise when my mother got all upset at John Lennon's death. And George
Harrison. Mom's words to me when we spoke were upon George's death were,
"He was quite a spiritual person." Um, yes, he was. And when Linda
McCartney died Mom said "She and Paul were married a long time." Um, yeah.
They certainly were. I was rather surprised to find my mother was such a
Beatles fan

They'd been touring in Europe long before they hit the North American
continent, specifically in Germany. I think by the time Yoko hit the scene
they were all pretty well tired of it and ready to go their separate ways.
They had a good long run as a band, though

I still love his music and listen to it regularly. The first album I ever
heard was "Cry of Love," which I think was a posthumous compilation. There
is something of the sound and motion of the sea in his guitar. I even like
his vocals.

back then, a fiend of mine came up with this scenario for when john and
paul planned an album:

george: 'can i play sitar? can i play sitar?'

john and paul: 'yeah, george, we got a sitar part for you.'

ringo: 'can i sing country? can i sing country?'

john and paul: yeah, ringo, we got a country song for you.'

(i liked the carl perkins songs better than the sitar songs.)

I remember where I was when JFK died. I was a baby... Well, a toddler,
really, and it happened I was at the little house on Thrush Ave. My
baby sister was crying and I couldn't find our mom (this was a 4 room
house), and I was making another pass when I heard her in the bathroom.
She was sitting on the edge of the bathtub, in the dark, with her face
in her hands, crying. She said that the president was dead. Of course
I had no idea what a president was, or what dead was, for that matter.
but I cried, too, because seeing a parent in distress feels like the end
of the world to a little kid. That is quite literally my first
conscious memory, burned into my brain by the sight of a woman I
regarded as a god reduced to tears.

I remember where I was when John Lennon died, but as with JFK, it was
the tears of others that made the impression. I was 18 and the
receptionist at the doctor's office where I was waiting to be seen hung
her head and wept.

I myself cried for the loss of the space shuttles Challenger and
Columbia and their crews. I cried again, years later, when I heard that
Challenger's pilot Mike Smith's last words were "Uh oh", and that the
crew were still breathing when they hit the water.

And I cried with the entire nation over 9/11.

Maybe! It appealed to a twelve year old. I have heard all the others, and

Of course it is.


John Lennon was sitting chilling out one day when a beetle crawled over the
carpet. He leans forward and says, "hey you, I named my group after you".
The beetle says "What, you named your band 'Eric'?".

boom boom.

Since it's Christmas, I'd put Lennon's "Happy Christmas (War is Over)"
on the sound system.

Yes. It ebbs and flows, the music, like waves. And then there are the
lyrics. For all his excesses, his work suggests that Hendrix was a gentle
soul.

Just think, Jill, your mom can now ask John what his inspiration was for
certain songs, check in with Linda and listen to George on the sitar. All
are healthy, happy and just enjoying each other's company. Isn't that what
we most wish for our loved ones, that they are whole and happy. I hope
thinking of your mom 'grooving' to the Beatles brought a smile to your face.
Sometimes it's hard so soon after a parent passes, but every now and again
the little things make you smile just thinking about what they are doing
now.

Linda McCartney (orignally Eastman of Eastman/Kodak family) tried to look
the innocent in it all, but she had a hand in it as well. If
Lennon/McCartney were left to their own devices, they may have continued to
work together a while longer, I think each spouse saw their husband as the
one doing all the work and both added their little bit of poison to the
water. George Harrison was winding into his 'spiritualness' which the
others passed thru like a fad and Ringo, well, he just went along for the
ride.

I remember where I was when Lennon died. I was just leaving "Monday
night at the ranch", our weekly guitar jam at a friend's place. I had
just started the car and was waiting for my friend Marty to leave
because he was parked behind me. He came over and told me that he had
just heard it on the radio.
