Tonight marks the 25th anniversery of the shooting of John Lennon.A sad day in music history indeed.
What I am about to say is by no means meant to come across as me belittling the contributions Lennon made to not just the music world,but the world as a whole..He was a great man who did great things..RIP John Lennon....
But....
When was the last time you heard of people greiving the anniversery of the death of Mother Theresea?Or The Pope?or Ghandi?
I think its sad that it takes someone being a rockstar who lived in the lime light to get noticed for his/her work(s).
But even on that note,what about George Harrison,the other former Beatle,who if memory serves me right(please correct me if I'm wrong)did numerous things to make the world a better place as well...You never hear anything of him...
I think thats sad.....
Whats even sadder is the "common" people who put there whole lives into make the world a better place for us all..The soup kitchen volenteers,the people who answer phones on the crisis hotlines..just to name a couple....who get little recognition.
I dont know,maybe I'm looking at this all wrong, but thats just how I feel...
Whats your thoughts?

(BTW:Thanks to Stage-It on Jspeed for bringing this to my attention)

The Beatles sucked and Lennon was a weirdo.
And it's seems like Lennon is getting more real estate in the press than was given to Rememberance Day a few weeks back which is really sad.

Dimebag darrell wasn't exactly the poster child for peice With the excessive drinking, drugs, and songs like "****ing Hostile", or "Suicide Note" People will remember him, but not the same way to say the least.

I don't think The Beatles sucked by any means. I do agree that Lennon was a tad weird though. And people need to stop hailing the group as the greatest of all time. They were a 60's-70's boy band. That'd be like branding NSYNC the greatest band of this generation. Which would just be retarded. I can see it now. PLaying "Bye, Bye" over and over again on the oldies station in 30 years.... uhhh God!
