remembering john lennon.

taken in NYC Central Park

the night john lennon died i wasn't even born yet.  in fact, my parents probably hadn't even considered my conception. on december 8, 1980 john lennon was murdered.  i've probably noticed this day since i was about eight years old.  something about john lennon captivated me at a young age.  he was by far the most interesting beatle.  i always wanted to listen to the songs he had lead vocals on, much to my mother's chagrin. (she's only ever been a mccartney fan!) 

despite all the controversy he stirred up, and even though i may not agree with everything he ever said and did, his amazing contribution to music history is by far one of the greatest.

i think that this article sums up the lennon memory best, as we remember him 32 years after he died.
