These day.. 8th december 20 years ago.. the world lose one of the best musician in the world, that was john winston lennon.. or we known as John Lennon.. he was one of the beatles member and lead singer.. and the composer of most of the beatles song along with paul mccartney.. You know maybe when john's death i haven't born.. but i really like the beatles and all the members history and solo career..and also john been active as Peace activist
Lennon had two sons: Julian Lennon, with his first wife Cynthia Lennon, and Sean Ono Lennon, with his second wife, avant-garde artist Yoko Ono. After a self-imposed retirement from 1976 to 1980, Lennon reemerged with a comeback album, but was murdered one month later in New York City on 8 December 1980. In 2002, respondents to a BBC poll on the 100 Greatest Britons voted Lennon into eighth place. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine ranked Lennon number 38 on its list of "The Immortals: The Fifty Greatest Artists of All Time" and ranked The Beatles at number one.
As a guitarist maybe john lennon isn't categorized as a great guitarist but also just a standard guitarist.. he said that also. but how about his song?? you know there's so many deep meaning in all of his song such as imagine, give peace a chance, power to the people and war is over. it's so clearly that john's spoke about a peace of the world through his song.. just look of this world situation now especially on terrorism cases in mumbai india...which are killed more than 100 people.
"Imagine all the people living live in peace, Nothing to kill or die for.. you may say i'm a dreamer but i'm not the only one.. i hope someday you'll join us and the world could live as one"
"All we have said is give peace a chance.."
Let's make our world a better place to live..
Thanks for your song john.. and here is the tribute for you..
The Murder of John Lennon
John lennon was murdered by david chapman On the night of 8 December 1980, Lennon was shot four times in the back (the fifth shot missed) in the entrance hallway of the Dakota by Mark David Chapman. Lennon had autographed a copy of Double Fantasy for Chapman earlier that same night.
Lennon was pronounced dead on arrival in the Emergency Room at the Roosevelt Hospital at 11:15 p.m. On the following day, 9 December 1980, Ono issued a statement: "There is no funeral for John. John loved and prayed for the human race. Please pray the same for him. Love, Yoko and Sean." Chapman pleaded guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to 20 years to life. He is still in prison, 27 years since his arrest, having been denied parole four times.
Two days after his death, Lennon's body was cremated at Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, New York, and his ashes were kept by Ono
