NEWS THAT MAKES YOU THINK: JOHN LENNON

AN EDITORIAL.

From time to time, events happen that need more space than what can be originally allotted upon this website, hence taking a closer look at some of them here.

*JOHN LENNON: 1940-1980
What can be said here that hasn't been elsewhere?
That the world lost a good man that fateful night of December 8, 1980 is obvious.
That his loss to his family, friends, and the music world is immeasurable.
In many ways, Lennon was a voice of a generation and a voice that spanned generations.
One can only wonder what his opinions would have been on some of the more key historic events since his passing, from the fall of the Berlin Wall to the War on Terror.
What compositions and other creative endeavors he might have undertaken in those years since will sadly never be known.
His assassin, who shall remain nameless, is still in prison. Although repeated denied parole, he will eventually have completed his sentence and be released.
One can only wonder what the world will be like for him upon that day. The rest of the populace knows what it's like for us.
