Remembering John Lennon - Imagine...
John Lennon died 26 years ago today, shot by a lunatic in front of his home. The world lost a great artist.
I always wondered what music he would have produced in his later years. He was always my favorite Beatle. I thought his song writing was excellent. My favorites include Across the Universe, Strawberry Fields, and In My Life. Solo works I like are Watching the Wheels and Woman. There's something about his compositions that is so flawed, raw and imperfect that gives the songs a certain feel that really resonated with me in contrast to Paul's music which just seems so bland and humanless.
How about you? Who was your favorite Beatle? What do you remember or like most about John Lennon?
Rest in Peace John. The world misses you.
P.S. - I can't believe Pan did not post this, it just feels....wrong
