May his soul forever rest in peace. He was a good man.

RIP Lennon. This calls for a new artist of the week.

Hey, gotta post it.

Quote:

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries,
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You...you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You...you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

R.I.P. John.

I respect him as a great songwriter, but personally he is my least favorite Beatle. I never figured out why though

McCartney and Harrison have to be my favorite Beatles, then Lennon, and then McCartney.

Lennon made some truly awful stuff on his solo recordings, that much is true, but it's cause he screwed it up in the studio (Phil Spector to blame once again). Listen to stuff from the Lennon Anthology. The outtakes that are on that album are amazing. For example, the version of "I'm Losing You" on the Anthology is miles better than the official release.
