JOHN LENNON WAS KILLED ON 12/8/80. TODAY Is 12/8/08.
 

Like Kennedy, the only way he is "remembered" is that he was shot.

/cry :( :(

I remember him for how he won his citizenship case, had his birthday, and how his wife had his first baby boy all on the same day. Oh and his music. And round glasses.

Really? I thought many of his songs where still successful nowadays.

12/8/80 was the best day ever!! I was born lol

Love is all you need

I only remember the man and his music. The fact that some fanatic wanted to steal his fame by killing him senselessly for no reason... I rent no space in my soul for him.

R.I.P. John Lennon! I remember the day you died, was one of the saddest days of humanity.

I wonder if the Beatles would ever have done a come back tour and album.. It's very trendy to re-group and tour.. Nostalgia is a huuuuge market!

Great shots.

I remember hearing the news when it happened. I was watching MNF with my Father and it was announced. At the time I think I was more stunned by my Mothers emotional reaction than the actual event.

Ruined MNF that night.

so what ???

John Lennon was just another man... just like all of us... only slightly more famous. Sad he got shot.... Life goes on.

Exactly what I was thinking when I read this title. Too bad our leaders dont sing.

I am with you 100% Peter

You have no idea how his music and fearless words changed the world in the 60's and 70's and even today. He stood up against everything and led a nation and tried to lead the world to PEACE. When was the last time anyone has tried and succeeded in changing the world? John Lennon rocked.

nice pic baddog:)

i remember when it happened
but not sure i would put them both in the same category
Kennedy and Lennon...
have to think on that

may be someone will kill Britney today to commemorate it

John Lennons words changed the world in so many ways. He was a great artist and lived in a very important time in America and the world. His thoughts will be remembered forever in his songs. RIP John.:(

ONE of my favorite clips. https://youtube.com/watch?v=KEBGh--ibVA

Went to the Bootleg Beatles not too long ago. Shame I never saw the real Beatles play, I love them.

OK I found one of the greatest vids, to me it's quite sad to me and mabye to some other old timers.

:pimp

Like this thread. I love "Imagine".

he wold of been 68 today I think ....

I wonder what amazing music we lost out because of this fucker that offed him one cold Dec afternoon ...

How did he change the world? What did he change?

I've looked at your sites before and thought you might not be very bright. Now you've confirmed it for me. Thanks a ton. :thumbsup

there are millions of bands in the world and millions of songs but its funny how people talk about how they remember the first time they heard the beatles. That is want makes John, Paul, George, and Ringo so important and why this tragic loss 28 years ago is still a day people will never forget.

for me I was five it I was with my Dad in his work truck and "here comes the sun" came on the radio and I remember that as the first moment I felt passionate about anything and that was music and all I did for the next days and weeks was bug my parents everyday to buy me more and more albums.

28 years ago wow. I remember hearing about it while I was in high school.

He was obviously a good musician but he helped promote and provided moral support to ideologies which murdered millions of people.

Guess you must be a youngster because I remember him for his music and when I hear about him I never go, "That guy that got shot?"

Another one.

I challenge you to show me a musician/group today that will leave a mark on the history of modern music. Sad thing is you wont because it is pretty much all a rehashed, cookie cutter, corporate driven monstrosity that is lacking in originality and meaning. There are some exceptions out there but will never reach the levels of The Beatles.

His music was great indeed,fuck it shit happens:(

Like what? Peace?

Exactly my point. "Imagine all the people... living life in peace... you may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope someday you will join us, and the world will be as one."

That was the start of the 80s.

I guess it would be highly offensive for me to post The Meatmen's "One down, Three to go" video clip or lyrics here? :disgust

I was 2 years old when he got shot and even I miss the guy. Although, to be perfectly honest I'd much rather Jimi Hendrix were still alive.

given the holiday season i always think of "so this is christmas"

Thats my favorite Christmas song ever. And the best song of all time ever is Imagine.

all youtube has is a shitty cell phone clip, hehe

I have the Stud Powercock CD, but not with me here at the office...

Congratulations on proving how much of a dullard you are. Yes dip shit you're going to have to look up that word DULLARD so get out the dictionary because you are going to need it you imbecile... Wow what a sad case you are:disgust

He was shot outside his apartment building as I recall the name of the building was called the Dakota Apartments.... I stood in Dealey Plaza in Dallas on the side walk and looked at the X on the road where Kennedy took the bullet from the grassy knoll. I know Erie a feeling that is, almost surreal, I'm sure you might experience the same feeling in front of the building where John Lennon was shot... He did change things, his song Imagine was and still is a brilliant piece of work......:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

What people are saying is that he changed the world, he may have influenced a lot of music and changed the way a lot of music is made but he did not change the world. If Lennon was never born how would the world be different today?

I watched a documentary of shorts where a black rapper said he was considered a God in that Continent, that Continent was Africa and the rapper was Snoop Dog. Has this clown influenced music positively or changed the world for the better with his lyrics, I seriously doubt it. All this idiot has managed to do is get bust a lot for MJ possession. I think the world would be a better place with out the likes of him , again :2 cents::2 cents:

Awesome Pics Baddog !!!! :thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup

imagine - the legend.. :)

beautiful pics, BD! :thumbsup

December 08 also marks another sad day in history of music. You're all fucking fags so you may not know the guy, but Dimebag Darrel was one of the greatest guitarists of all time. He was shot dead on December 08, 2004.

I was well aware of that, but then, I'm not a fag. :2 cents:

Dime was fucking amazing. Shit, Nickelbag even wrote a song about his death (Side of a Bullet).

No musician has changed the world thats the point. Snoop dogg to those who like that kind of music will enjoy it just as much as you enjoyed Lennons music. Why bring snoop doggs drug use in to it, like Lennon didnt get off his face all the time?

Mccartney is a greater musician than Lennon ever was. In 5 years time from now Noel Gallagher will of achieved more also. Lennon is overhyped which always tends to happen when people die.

Never will be another musician like him,I grew up listening to him
