ousefox Posted 9 October 2010 Posted 9 October 2010 I know it's a bit late but he would have been 70 today. Absolute Legend. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okd3hLlvvLw
NGoloMode Posted 10 October 2010 Posted 10 October 2010 There was a John Lennon street party on my road. His songs blasting out all day yesterday.
purpleronnie Posted 10 October 2010 Posted 10 October 2010 Some of his political leanings and personnel failings we're questionable, but no taking away from some great songs.
Fox92 Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 He is my hero. Would love to have met him. Played his songs very loud on his 70th birthday. Personally, I think he is the greatest singer-songwriter of all time. Legend.
Rocket-Ron Posted 15 October 2010 Posted 15 October 2010 I wonder how he would have made it through the 80's had he not been killed. Sadly I think he'd have just been a puppet of 80's excess ala Elton John, Mick Jagger,Bowie etc. Could be wrong though
Fox92 Posted 8 December 2010 Posted 8 December 2010 Today sadly marks 30 years since the death of an international hero and genius; John Lennon. You may have different views on him, but there is no doubt that his music, either with The Beatles or his own solo work, was sensational. Songs that he wrote (obviously with the Beatles, they were always credited to Lennon/McCartney), such as 'I Feel Fine', 'Ticket To Ride', 'Strawberry Fields Forever', 'Come Together', 'Instant Karma' and 'Imagine', were top class and second to none - the list can go on, I mean I didn't include my personal Lennon solo favourite 'Mind Games'. His music, ecspecially as a Beatle, has continued to inspire millions across the World, some of which have gone on to form bands; The Jam and Oasis are prime examples. On a personal note though, the music has inspired me. I think John's voice was so unique. It makes me happy and feel good listening to his songs. But it can also make me emotional that such a man and genius was taken away from us, the World, in just seconds. (Even though I wasn't alive then). Lets hope his solo music and music with The Beatles continues to inspire generation after generation. Rest In Peace.
Fox92 Posted 9 October 2011 Posted 9 October 2011 Today, October 9th, would should have been John Lennon's 71st birthday. Just thought I would dig this year old thread up in memory of the man. My hero
Trav Le Bleu Posted 9 October 2011 Posted 9 October 2011 No, no, no. What you actually meant was, "John Lennon, dead."
