I can't believe I was stupid enough to let a ginormous music related historical date go by and not write about it. John Lennon was killed December 8th, 1980. The world lost one of it's greatest souls that day. This man was pointlessly killed by a crazy man. John Lennon was a passionate man who saw beauty and hope in everything around him. Think how different the world would be today if he were still in it. Not only was he a member of the famous band The Beatles he was an inspiration and a voice of reason. One of my favorite things that he did, and I might get some of this story wrong, was when he fed a man who had been living in Lennon's garden for three days. If I get any of this story wrong please correct me, I've only heard it a few times and can't remember it all. I guess a man had been in Lennon's garden for a few days, now if this was happening today most people would call the cops, but Lennon went out and talked to the man, then invited him into the house and fed him. No police assistance required. It's a shame that he was taken away from the world. I know this wasn't much of a post and I know I still have to finish the last post but for now this is all I can do. Gotta Run! -Katie
PS. I've added a link to a very well put together web page about John Lennon. It hasn't been updated in a while but it's still pretty cool to look at.
