John Lennon
Dedicated to the memory of John Lennon, who died Dec 8, 1980
First some sick jokes:
What would you find if you dug up John Lennon?
-- Four slugs and a dead Beatle.
What does a Photo-mat and Beatles reunion concert have in common?
-- There's no John.
What do Ethiopians and Yoko Ono have in common?
-- They both live off dead beatles.
What would it take to re-unite the Beatles?
-- Three more bullets.
And for those of you still here... I really liked John Lennon and can remember where I was when I heard he died. Maybe Fred Carlin can too.
He seems to remember lots of stuff on December 8th. :) Here are some of the real messages people should remember John Lennon for:
-- JOHN LENNON QUOTES AND SONGS --
"Life is what happens to you when you are busy making other plans"
- John Lennon (Beautiful Boy)
"Those in the cheaper seats clap. The rest of you rattle your jewelry."
-- John Lennon, 1963 (Royal Variety Performance)
"If everyone demanded peace instead of another television set,
then there'd be peace." - John Lennon
"If The Beatles or the 60's had a message, it was 'Learn to swim.'
And once you've learned - swim!" - John Lennon
"Living is easy with your eyes closed..." - John Lennon
"I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in
fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your
mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as
the here and now?
Reality leaves a lot to the imagination." - John Lennon
"The pressures of being a parent are equal to any pressure on earth.
To be a conscious parent, and really look to that little being's
mental and physical health is a responsibility which most of us,
including me, avoid most of the time, because it's too hard...To
put it loosely, the reason why kids are crazy is because nobody
can face the responsibility of bringing them up..." - John Lennon
"I'm going into an unknown future, and where there's life there's hope."
-Approx. 5 hours before he was killed
Imagine
Imagine there's no heaven,
It's easy if you try,
No hell below us,
Above us only sky,
Imagine all the people
living for today...
Imagine there's no countries,
It isnt hard to do,
Nothing to kill or die for,
No religion too,
Imagine all the people
living life in peace...
Imagine no possesions,
I wonder if you can,
No need for greed or hunger,
A brotherhood of man,
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer,
but I'm not the only one,
I hope some day you'll join us,
And the world will live as one.

Hmm, I can't stop now. Here's something else of John Lennon's that I have been known to hum (and sing) this time of year..
Merry Xmas (WAR IS OVER)
(Happy Xmas Kyoko
Happy Xmas Julian)
So this is Xmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun
And so this is Xmas
I hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
For weak and for strong
For rich and the poor ones
The world is so wrong
And so happy Xmas
For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let's stop all the fight
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
And so this is Xmas
And what have we done
Another year over
A new one just begun
And so happy Xmas
We hope you have fun
The near and the dear one
The old and the young
A very Merry Xmas
And a happy New Year
Let's hope it's a good one
Without any fear
War is over, if you want it
War is over now
Happy Xmas
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance
All we are saying is give peace a chance...
