1. John Lennon's stuff used to be appreciated at DU

On the anniversary of his death one would think that
a free viewing of a movie about his life would amount to something.

Sad

5. I'm watching in Europe prime time...High Definition on a Local Channel

Right now....



DU needs to see this movie.....


Too many great quotes in this movie from Lennon.

Gordon Liddy is seen as an evil person over here
and the movie gives him time to describe who he is
and what he stands for to hang himself

Worse Pardon......EVER

7. When I reced, the number went from 13 to 12, so either I accidently unreced, which is possible,

or two other people unreced while I watched the video.

8. K&R!

Imagine... a world that doesn't kill people...

My oldest son was a year old when Lennon was murdered, and I thought, how can I even think of raising a child in a world that kills someone so special like John Lennon? How can I raise a child in a world without John Lennon?

:cry:

Imagine the music we've missed... torturous thought, that.
