~ Imagine - 30 years ago today ~
It happened 30 years ago today, a life was taken from us too soon. John Lennon would have been 70, but he was tragically gunned down at the age of 40. I was in high school and remember exactly where I was and which hallway. At first I didn't believe it.
The radio station I listen to every morning paid a tribute to him. They played so many of his songs it was just terrific. I think my favorite song is Imagine. It's has thought provoking lyrics. He was the type of artist that didn't care what others thought, but stayed true to himself. This showed through in his lyrics of 'Watching the Wheels', which he wrote in the 5 years he took off to stay home and raise his son Shawn and bake bread. He is missed.
