Thought I'd get this in before Stevie, the sixth beatle, got his chance.
On October 9th John Winston Lennon woulda been 70 years old. For those that care invest in a copy of the UK music mag Q as it has everything you need to see and know about the event. Please note I would like some official role with this mag, but alas, I don't.
Tomorrow and the day after I'll be playing a gig down the local which will feature Watching The Wheels, Give Peace a Chance and Cold Turkey, amongst others.
Do me a favour, if you're in New York or anywhere near, go down Central Park to the memorial there, pop by the Dakota and post here what's going on. Take a pic and put it up. Then you and all can go homelike I will, wait till it's dark, light some candles, get some booze out and get loved ones and yer Ipod or your CDs or your vinyl and put some Beatles or Lennon on. Loud.
Imagine what the last thirty years would have been like if he'd lived.
RIP Johnny boy. Yer sadly missed.
McCartney said this in Q. When was John at his best? When he was asleep.
Smartarse. Those boys always had the lines.

Lovely post, RV! See what happens when you get near a keyboard sober? I have some pics of me at the Dakota in 1997 - I'll scan them and put them up. Its weird thinking of John as 70 if he lived - he would only be a year older than me dad! |

It's like that line in the Matrix. Hear that Mr. Anderson? That's the sound of inevitability.
Same as my dad Stevie lad.
And I will have you know that rumours concerning my alciholy intake are grossly underflated. Why the the only the the, Matt Johnson, the olny the other day I drank a pub dry.
Oh no, I mean I never touch the stuff. Arse!!
Good to see you round fella. Buy Q. You'll love it. I'm gonna buy another one so I can frame the pics. They are beautiful.

Cheers RV! Ok, here's some pics from 1997, taken with - OMG - a normal camera!!! Me at the Dakota... The entrance where John was shot... John's childhood home - 245 Menlove Avenue, Liverpool... Me at Pier Head, Liverpool... Me walking the WRONG way across Abbey Road... Me on the Staten Island Ferry. Always found this pic a little eerie, in light of the events 4 years later... Have posted this before but its my fave! Me and Officer Moran at Strawberry Fields, Central Park... |

Stevie,
Great photos.
I'm just sat here watching the wheels go round and round. I really love to watch 'em roll.
People say I’m crazy Doing what I’m doing Well they give me all kinds of warnings To save me from ruin When I say that I’m o.k. well they look at me kind of strange Surely you’re not happy now you no longer play the game
People say I’m lazy Pissing my life away Well they give me all kinds of advice Designed to enlighten me When I tell them that I’m doing fine watching shadows on the wall Don’t you miss the big time boy you’re no longer on the ba---all
I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it go
Ah, people asking questions Lost in confusion Well I tell them there’s no problem Only solutions Such as lager and whiskey and tea
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I’ve lost my mind I tell them there’s no hurryI’m just sitting here doing time I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll No longer riding on the merry-go-round I just had to let it goI just had to let it go
I just had to....
Let it go
John Winston Lennon
9th October 1940 - 8th December 1980

Top stuff RV.
My favorite JL lyrics from his solo career are from Gimme Some Truth:
No short haired yellowbellied son of Tricky Dicky's gonna mother hubbard softsoap me
for just a pocketful of hope
money for dope
money for rope |

Temperature's rising Fever is high Can't see no future Can't see no sky
My feet are so heavy So is my head I wish I was a baby I wish I was dead
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Body is aching Goose-pimple bone Can't see no body Leave me alone
My eyes are wide open Can't get to sleep One thing I'm sure of I'm at the deep freeze
Cold turkey has got me on the run Cold turkey's got me on the run.
Thirty-six hours Rolling in pain Praying to someone Free me again
Oh I'll be a good boy Please make me well I promise you anything Get me out of this hell
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Temperature's rising Fever is high Can't see no future Can't see no sky
My feet are so heavy So is my head I wish I was a baby I wish I was dead
Cold turkey has got me on the run Body is aching Goose-pimple bone Can't see no body Leave me alone
My eyes are wide open Can't get to sleep One thing I'm sure of I'm at the deep freeze
Cold turkey has got me on the run Cold turkey has got me on the run
Thirty-six hours Rolling in pain Praying to someone Free me again
Oh I'll be a good boy Please make me well I promise you anything Get me out of this hell
Cold turkey has got me
On the run |

So sgt. Pepper took you by surprise You better see right through that mother's eyes Those freaks was right when they said you was dead The one mistake you made was in your head . Oh, how do you sleep
Oh, how do you sleep at night? (Ya cant)
You live with straights who tell you you was king Jump when you mama tell you anything The only thing you done was yesterday And since you've gone you've just another day . Oh, how do you sleep Oh, how do you sleep at night
Oh, how do you sleep Oh, how do you sleep at night
A pretty face may last a year or two Beet pretty soon they'll see what you can do The sound you make is you talk to my ears You must have learned something in all these years . Oh, how do you sleep?
Oh, how do you sleep at night |

I was dreaming of the past
And my heart was beating fast
I began to lose control
I began
To lose control
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I make you cry
Oh my I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was feeling insecure You might not love me anymore
I was shivering inside
I was shivering
Inside
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I make you cry
Oh no I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I make you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I was trying to catch your eyes
Though that you was trying to hide
I was swallowing my pain
I was swallowing My pain
I didn't mean to hurt you
I'm sorry that I make you cry
Oh no, I didn't want to hurt you
I'm just a jealous guy
I'm just
A jealous guy
I'm just a jealous guy |

As soon as your born they make you feel small
By giving you no time instead of it all
'Till the pain is so big you feel nothing at all
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
They hurt you at home and they hit you at school
They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool
'Till you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
When they've tortured and scared you for twenty odd years
Then they expect you to pick a career
When you can't really function you're so full of fear
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still fucking peasents as far as I can see
A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be
There's room at the top they are telling you still
But first you must learn how to smile as you kill
If you want to be like the folks on the hill
A working class hero is something to be
A working class hero is something to be
If you want to be a hero well just follow me
If you want to be a hero well
Just follow JohnStick him on with the candles on and the lights out. Imagine an old man with greying long hair who has more passion and soul than most have in their little fingers. Remember RIP JWL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXNbXmpUxn8R ox |

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; but Jesus has come that we may have life, and have it more abundantly. John 10:10
Hopefully, Mr. Lennon figured that out before he met the Lord. |

Some say he was the new Jesus.
I know he was not fond of crucifixes.
Then again, if Jesus did come back, you think he'd wanna see another fecking cross? (c) William Hicks.

Shame the rest of you didn't join in. Still, Lennon would say Fuck em, ignorant boring arseholes. Still, I still love you. I'm like that. Especially when I'm pissed. I love you and leave you with this. Don't forget him... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6fTTFIqaFo&feature=relatedYou may have to copy and paste. Er, if you dont know how... Learn. ROX |

Quoted from John WL I was raised by my auntie. My father and me mother split when I was about four. I spent sometime with mother upto about four and I was brought up by an auntie. When I was sixteen I re-estblished a relationship with my mother for about four years. She taught me music. First of all she taught me the banjo. And from that I progressed to guitar.
You know, you went to see those movies with Elvisor somebody, when we were still in Liverpool. You'd see everybody waiting to see him. We were waiting there too. Everybody screamed as soon as he appeared on the screen. We thought that's a good job
There's a joke in my family about the guitar - It's alright for a hobby. But it won't earn you any money.
I still believe all you need is love.
Love is all you need.
Fuckin' A.
End of me thread.

Aye lad.
From memory...
Here come auld flattop He come grooving up slowly He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller Got hair down to his knee Got to be a joker He just do what he please
Shoo, shoo
He wear no shoeshine He got toe-jam football He got monkey finger Shoot coca-cola He say "I know you, you know me" One thing I can tell you is you got to be free Come together right now Over me
He bag production Got walrus gumboot He got Ono sideboard One spinal cracker Got feet down below his knee Hold you in his armchair You can feel his disease
Come together right now Over me
He roller-coaster He got early warning He got muddy water he one mojo filter He say "One and one and one is three" Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now
Over me
What a guy. Loved to have met him.
Ah, well. Such is life
