Remembering John.

I was home watching Johnny Carson with the sound down and the radio on.

First report was that he was shot 4 times but appreared to be ok...then the terrible news that he died.

The rich are cheap. That's how they got rich.

Is this the anniversary of his death?

Definitely one of the biggest losses in music history. He had so much more to give the world through his music, and he was taken from us by a selfish individual. I find that 'Imagine' rings as true today as it did when he wrote it. Lets hope we all get the message someday.

I was working at home on my first freelance job for an ad agency when someone called and said to turn on the radio. Unbelievable. I wept. John was my hero.

Sometimes I think about it and can still hardly believe it. It doesn't make sense, never will. There's a remembrance in this month's Rolling Stone where the author says "It's been 25 years and it can still stop your mind." Well said.

I'm still a hardcore Beatles freak and along with my pal we get out the guitars and sing the oldies. Sometimes we're even listenable. Anyway, thanks John for the brilliance you left behind!

"'Jelly Hat' sounds silly," I told Prince. "How about something poetic, like 'Raspberry Beret.'"
