John Lennon

SALUTE to the man who wasn't afraid to stand up for his beliefs, was so humble even with his mega-talent, who unquestionably changed my life, who still influences me today, and who's band may have saved the world from utter destruction by ourselves... tears even today, 20 years later...

It was 20 years ago today...But the real celebration should be 60 years ago when John came into this world. We should celebrate his life and work. I guess that Yoko Ono isn't a lot of people's favorite, but she said that we should celebrate John's birthday and not the day of his death. I agree, although I'll never forget the day he died.

I know that it may be inappropriate to slam the guy on the 20th anniversary of his death but I really have to differ with some of you. He was just a man. Why do we have to raise every icon to the level of a demi-god status. Was he talented? Sure.. But lets keep things in perspective. The guy was not Mother Theresa.

Well, I know one guy who is a mother...

Kkirkpa: Maybe Zappa should have his own thread?
