Give Peace A Chance
Saturday, December 8th, was the anniversary of the death of John Lennon. While I didn't make time to post about the anniversary I did think about it. Mainly I thought of John, what would he be like today? Would he be making the rounds with Yoko to hotel rooms across America? Would we be standing outside in groups singing "Give Peace a Chance"? Would we see more "War Is Over If you Want It" billboards around the states? And how thick would his FBI file be today???
Just a week before that on November 30th was the anniversary of George Harrison's death in 2001. On that day I remembered where I was when I heard he had passed away from cancer. I was driving home from school when it came on the radio and yes...I did cry a little bit.
Luckily we still have music from these men that will live on forever, and continue to inspire us and future generations.

I was talking to Laura recently about how, as my life progresses, my favorite Beatle seems to mirror where I am in my life.
When I was a kid, Paul and his catchy and happy tunes was my favorite. In college and for some time after, John and his cynical angry songs was my favorite. Within the last five years, George with is spiritual songs of enlightenment has become my favorite.
Haven't yet gotten to Ringo. :)
Thanks for posting this Kari. The Beatles are still my all-time favorite group. And their solo material is still some of the best music ever.

Sorry the Beatles never did anything for me and I can't work out why even young things [wooo that was the good thing I said]like you, like them so much?
I sincerely hope that Dans life does not continue to mirror maca's or Laura will take him for every penny he has... mind you... you women do that to us as soon as you meet us, we poor men don't stand a chance ;) :)))
If i don't make it back due to the wife killing me for this comment, seasons greetings and all the best to you and Joe. :)
