A la memoria de John Lennon, 1940-1980

Hoy, hace 30 años, nos sorprendió la noticia del cruel asesinato del Ex-Beatle, activista político y músico John Lennon, a manos de un admirador demente llamado Mark David Chapman.

Para recordar su memoria, he incluido un par de vídeos de John, "Imagine" y "The Ballad of John and Yoko" cuando todavía militaba con "The Beatles".

Que haría John si hubiera estado vivo con 70 años de edad. Me imagino que todavía protestando las guerras de Iraq y Afghanistan, seguiria haciendo musica, y tal vez esa reunion de los Beatles se hubiera dado.

Pero nuestra realidad es otra.

Que descanse en paz.

Stephen King killed John Lennon!

At least that what this man claims...

SARASOTA, FL. - Some excitement at the Sarasota City Commission meeting Tuesday, when a California man spoke out about who he thinks really killed John Lennon.

During public comment, a man with signs who identified himself as Steve Lightfoot, took a seat in front of commissioners saying he wanted to expose the truth. He then went on to allege that part-time Casey Key resident and author Stephen King was the person that killed John Lennon.

"I'm from California. I'm known by 10% of Florida. I'm known by 50% of California. I'm the man exposing the truth about John Lennon's murder. Stephen King, Casey Key resident, shot John Lennon. He's not suing me...my van says it all over the place," said Lightfoot. He claimed that "Stephen King is the worst criminal the state of Florida has ever harbored."

Sarasota mayor Lou Ann Palmer told the man that comments at the meeting must be reserved for city business. "This does not relate to the city of Sarasota," said Mayor Palmer. Casey Key is under Sarasota County jurisdiction.

The mayor summoned Police Chief Peter Abbott, who escorted the man and his signs peacefully out of the chamber to the sound of chuckles from people attending the meeting.

The whole thing was captured on video...



Oh, by the way, Stephen King is also a Nazi war criminal, an alien, the mastermind behind 9-11, provocateur of countless air disasters and the brain behind the Lincoln-Kennedy-Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations. Just because that's the way he rolls!

WTF!

At last...Vatican forgives John Lennon!

It looks like the Catholic Church got the message...

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The Vatican's newspaper has finally forgiven John Lennon for declaring that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus Christ, calling the remark a "boast" by a young man grappling with sudden fame.
The comment by Lennon to a London newspaper in 1966 infuriated Christians, particularly in the United States, some of whom burned Beatles' albums in huge pyres.
But time apparently heals all wounds.
"The remark by John Lennon, which triggered deep indignation mainly in the United States, after many years sounds only like a 'boast' by a young working-class Englishman faced with unexpected success, after growing up in the legend of Elvis and rock and roll," Vatican daily Osservatore Romano said.
The article, marking the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' "The White Album," went on to praise the pop band.
"The fact remains that 38 years after breaking up, the songs of the Lennon-McCartney brand have shown an extraordinary resistance to the passage of time, becoming a source of inspiration for more than one generation of pop musicians," it said.
Lennon was murdered in New York in 1980.

Ok...now it will take 500 years to make him a saint! That's how long it took the church to make Joan Of Arc one!
