politics sports popular culture and assorted postmodernist gibberish

25 years ago today, a little creep named Chapman ended the life of one of the world's greatest musical artists and humanitarians. John Lennon is no longer with us in the physical sense, but his spirit remains as a symbol of peace and artistic creativity.

Robert Hunter, the Grateful Dead lyricist, has written a solo song where he encounters the spirits of several people including John Lennon. Lennon's message to Hunter is "As long as songs of mine are sung, I'm with you on this earth." So let us sing and listen to John's songs, both the solo work and that he did with the Beatles.

May the Goddess bless his surviving family...Yoko Ono, and his children Julian and Sean. They have all continued John's work both in music/art and social causes.

We will always remember you, John Lennon, and we will keep on "Imagining" the world you dreamed of in your signature solo song. And we will keep working to make your vision reality.
