RIP John Lennon

[Nomad]

Lest we forget, tonight at approximately 10:50 pm will mark the 38th anniversary of the assassination of John Lennon outside The Dakota apartment building in NYC.

RIP to a truly great, though greatly flawed, musical artist and human being.

OMG somebody shot John Lennon? Why isn't this MSNBC breaking news?

Hard to believe that it has been that long.

Did you know that John Lennon had a separate air-conditioned apartment in the Dakota building to keep his furs in pristine condition? He had five apartments in total, surprised he didn't write a song about it?

On that day...I was on 72nd Street at that hour. I was on the East Side...over by the East River. The company I worked for had a penthouse apartment in a building on 72nd and I was living in it for a few weeks.

I spend lots of time in Central Park...and visit Strawberry Fields often.

RIP, John.

Fake news.

Fake news.

Even for a Septic you're pretty damn stupid and naive!!

In August 1971, only weeks after Lennon had recorded Imagine, he and his wife moved to New York and an apartment in the hugely expensive Dakota building, overlooking Central Park. Here, surrounded by the spoils of his long struggle for self-fulfilment, he spent the last years of his life.

By now he was the head of a property empire and owner of a prize herd of Holstein cattle, a collection of Ancient Egyptian relics and an original Renoir painting. His wife worked at a desk inlaid with gold.

During this period, Lennon was often portrayed as a recluse, but in fact the couple were surrounded by assistants, psychics, tarot readers, masseurs, maids, acupuncturists and odd-job people, as well as one man whose sole job was to polish the apartment's brass doorknobs.

Some visitors were struck by the contrast between his millionaire lifestyle and the sentiments of his most famous song. Elton John was astounded to discover that Yoko had a specially refrigerated room just for her fur coats.

In 1980, to mark Lennon's 40th birthday, Elton sent him a little verse: 'Imagine six apartments / It isn't hard to do / One is full of fur coats / The other's full of shoes.'

An older friend, the Beatles' former personal assistant Neil Aspinall, once heard Lennon moaning about the costs of running his business empire. 'Imagine no possessions, John,' Aspinall said. Lennon glared back. 'It's only a bloody song,' he said.

Hear, hear!

Me????????

You're the one basing your opinion of Lennon on a book by some huckster "author" who was six years old when Lennon was killed and as such, obviously never even met the man!!!!

This from an idiot (YOU in case you can't figure it out) who doesn't believe anything written by the vast majority of the world's top climate scientists about climate change.

Even for a Septic you're pretty damn stupid and naive!!

If only it could have been Yoko instead...

It's easy to forget insignificant events.

We may not have agreed with his politics, but the man was a musical genius.
