    Thank you for the awesome pics and tribute. I still recall the day John died. It was a very sad day. May he rest in peace.

    Got to say, being someone just outside that generation, from what I saw growing up, I think history has been a little bit rewriten by remaniscance

    When I was little, my parents and all there friends were more into Abba, Queen, Led Zep, Hendrix, Creedance, The Doors,Bowie and the like

    My Dad was nuts for Deep Purple and my Mum thought Jim Morrison was way cooler than the Beatles, I got the impression they all thought, whilst popular and catchy, that the Beatles were a little bit dorky

    And I'm a little perplexed post Beatles what Lennon did, Imagine is a great song, but only a few other hits and some lovein thing

    I was one of the millions of people who heard about it when Howard Cossell announced it on Monday Night Football. All I could say was "Holy Shit!" and I watched the rest of the game in shock.

    I've decided my contribution to this thread will be some quotes from John Lennon on death and dying:

    "What they want is dead heroes, like Sid Vicious and James Dean. I'm not interested in being a dead fucking hero....so forget em, forget em." (Rolling Stone Interview 3 days before he died)

    "Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground."

    "Guilt for being rich, and guilt thinking that perhaps peace and love isn't enough, and you have to go and get shot or something."

    "I'm not afraid of death because I don't believe in it. It's just getting out of one car, and into another"
