I think a lot of us were devastated by Lennon's senseless death.
There is a very good PBS special about this "The Man Who Shot John Lennon",
about the alleged Holden Caulfield/ Catcher in the Rye angle. The killer
was a real jerk off, probably just looking for attention, as he acted
out the story in his own twisted way. I understood he was locked
up as criminally insane, and since he's never been "cured",
can't be released. Anybody else know anything about this,
I don't really understand American law?
Anyway, John Lennon RIP. I suspect we lost alot of great music,
writng amd art, as he would've matured over the years: the
voice of a great rock generation spokesman that's never been
replaced. We are all the worse off for his untimely death.
I wonder; what has the response been among younger music fans,
when they play all his music today? Would he still seem at all
revelvant or of interest to them too?
