Tomorrow marks 23 years to the day (and it was a monday as well) since John Lennon was tragically Shot Dead in New York aged just 40, anyone else taking time out to remember the man who helped raise a generation and change music forever?

It's my 23rd birthday tomorrow as well, and although I don't think I look like John Lennon, I have often pondered the possibility of being his reincarnation...

I remember when Kurt Cobain died some American music writer wrote something about how it should have been Axel Rose who died instead of Kurt, just as how (apparently) everyone at the time wished it had been Paul McCartney, not John Lennon who was shot.
But John Lennon was an aging, self-indulgent millionaire smackhead when he died. It's not like he was cut down in his prime.

Not true, I just figured dude could at least have plugged Yoko, she was standing right there.

Sigh. Wasted opportunities.
Lennon's career was as good as over anyway. His comeback album, Double Fantasy was a critical and commercial flop.

Why John Lennon is so cool?Cause he could have had any girl he wanted, the mots beautiful girls on Earth. But he choose Yoko. and like Sam said, John always wanted to try new things. that's why he changed music.

You know guys, there's a theory that the CIA, killed John cause he was becoming more powerfull then the same president of America.
By that time, John could have said: BOMB the White House!!
and kids would have done that.
See... If That theory happends to be real, I'm going to buy a ticket to America, Buy a Nuclear Weapon, and bomb the fucking White House and all that shit called America... and the Antartic too.

Will you shut up, already? Honestly, I shouldn't have to read this kind of reactionist and pointlessly threatening tripe. Do you think it makes me feel safe and secure, to sit here in the middle of the US and listen to some incendiary twat make threats directed towards where I happen to live?
I've kept my mouth shut for an inordinate amount of time, but I'm fucking sick of it now. I'm sick of being threatened, and I think I've established myself well enough in this community to tell you off. Shut up, you stupid fuck.
Caveat: To the powers that be, I'm sorry. Naughty, naughty me for using language like that. It won't happen again. Well, it might, but it'll be justified.

//am I going to be marked by the American Gobermetn because of my comments??
no, but you'll get a stern telling-off and a smack on the bottom. Now back to bed, senior. Here's your glass of water. Where are your teeth?

velo... on this site you're pretty much one of the powers that be. A minor deity, at least.

//Buy a nuclear weapon and bomb the fucking white house and all that shit called America...
Hahaha, that's not as easily done as you seem to think, sunshine, but you give it a shot if you feel the need. The only thing that will destroy America is America and that's not going to happen anytime soon, so why not get yourself a Coke, sit back and shut the fuck up.

//A minor deity, at least.
Minor I may be, but I try to be a polite deity, with the understanding that I represent deities everywhere. Usually my natural courtesy wins out over my incredibly low tolerance for crap, but I guess not today.

Well then, you're probably the single most courteous low-tolerant deity here. Hell, I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more evilocity.

Anyone care to speculate what John would've ammounted to had he lived.
Would he have squandered his talent and become an AOR schlock-meister (like Elton John), or would he, along with Yoko, have become a genre-hopping innovator forever reinventing himself (like David Bowie)? We can only imagine...(excuse the pun).
You can do it with Jimi Hendrix too. Chances of him going disco/funk had he survived? Or Nick Drake?
Probably a bit like Dylan I guess- ...
Probably a bit like Dylan I guess- still writing, but definitely somewhat retreated from the spotlight... collaberating every now and then with other prominant musicians from the period, but always remembered more for their past than their present...

//John would have ended up like Paul
No chance. I however agee with what Foetusboy said about withdrawing from the public eye, continuing to write and the odd collaberation though hopefully not with Rob Thomas nor Michelle Branch (eh, Carlos).

// No chance.
Wasn't John's last single 'Starting Over'? I think it'd be hard to argue that's not as schmaltzy and naff as anything Paul's come out with since.
