I love about John Lennon how he evolved. He took his position as a cultural icon and used it to help raise people's consciousness. I know everyone hates Yoko but I think she had that influence on him, or at least helped him make it more a part of his public persona. Not that I'm "glad" he died, but I can see how his death made his life and his music more meaningful. We missed out on the music he would have created, but in a way if he had carried on, maybe it would have made him just another aging rocker trying to be relevant. Somehow I think he would have found his voice no matter what, but as it is, that "Imagine" voice is what remains most strongly of him.
