There are more posts around talking about an actor that died recently than anyone remembering that John Lennon was shot yesterday in 1980.

RIP John.

Who is John Lennon?

Its sad that when James Brown dies he gets like 2 days of news, while when Anna Nicole dies she gets 2 months of straight CNN coverage.

but big RIP to Lennon, the only hippy I ever will like.

What sad is how long the family fought over where to bury James. They waited a long time to put the man to rest.

Even more sad is the fact two days ago was pearl harbor day, and if you didn't know your history you would of never known with the way it is almost forgotten these days.

When we took a side trip to Oahu during our honeymoon in Maui my wife and I went straight to the memorial from the airport. It's one of the most humbling experiences one can have.

If you are ever in Universal Studios Orlando, FL, go to the Hard Rock Cafe. Ask for the tour guide there. When you speak to him, ask him about the closed door Beatles Tour.

TONS of cool stuff. I sat on John Lennon's old couch that he had. There is one x-rated pic that John himself drew, not sure if I can go into the details of it here or not.

The room with the couch had an extremely cool table John brought back from somewhere (can't remember). The room is for VIP parties.

I've attached a few photos, one of the table and one of his suits.

also, parents don't teach their kids about such things anymore. it's more like "watch this blu ray and shut up so I can play on my PS3".....sad.

we depend on the schools too much, my parents and family taught me more than I learned at school

It was over 60 years ago. Some day, 9/11/01 will be just as passe, except for maybe those living in New York. Anyone born after that date are virtually ignorant of it.
