Been thinking a lot about John Lennon recently. Probably because he was 40 when he died/was murdered/assasinanted. I turned 40 this October. Lennon is not a very fair yardstick to measure my, or anyone’s life, against, but I still wonder what should I have done with last 40 years. What can I do with the next?
Why died versus murdered versus assasinated. I have a bug against celebrating the date of death of people who were killed. It gives the killer what they want. I would rather celebrate their birth. And the assasinated comment. Well, I was 15 when Lennon died and didn’t connect it with being the year Reagan took office. Now I am a lot more cynical.
Though I am knocked out every time I hear the lyrics to Imagine, I still feel Working Class Hero is underplayed.
Does anyone have the exact Abbie Hoffman quote on (John) Lennon and (Groucho) Marx?
