35 years of John Lennon's murder.

35 years of John Lennon's murder

 

In October, we celebrated John Lennon's birthday, remembering the musician who would have been 75 years old this year.

 

But grief and memory being what they are, we can't help but also remember his death, 35 years ago Tuesday.

 

His killer, Mark David Chapman, remains in jail.

Receding silver hair tied back in a stringy pony-tail; thick glasses perched on his thin nose, a wiry old man steps creakily into the spotlight, blinking into the vast space where an audience roar their love. It is John Lennon, veteran rocker, political activist, acclaimed author and winner of the Nobel Peace Prize for his role as figurehead of the anti-war movement that did so much to heal global wounds during the first turbulent decade of the 21st century.

 

What would he say, what would he play on this, the occasion of his 75th birthday at Madison Square Garden?

Would he look like this? Still married to Yoko?

What would he think of social media? The Falkands war, Margaret Thatcher, Tony Blair's as Bush's poodle, Iraq war, etc?

 

We can only imagine!
