I wish I’d known John Lennon.

I wish I’d known John Lennon.

From a strictly selfish sense.

Cuz I need him here. For me.


“Don’t let me down!!”

He sings so inclusively from a once upon only apple rooftop.

“Don’t let me down.”


Yup. I would like to have not. But given the juice of the rest of us. I’m gonna. I’m gonna be a less than John. And if I’m a Martin Luther? I’m gonna be a little less than that, to be fair. A bridge might not be enough. And if I’m from some other tree? I’m gonna maybe get you or I shot. Or be a bit tiny less than what I could possibly be.

Unless I’m just John Lennon.

And only get shot myself.

Maybe this is something lost in todays lyrics (are there any)?

The Beatles would not only challenge us but them as well. Zeppelin? Kick your heads into gear. Floyd? You get the point.

I’ve spent the last 40 minutes watching Joe Cocker kick the shit out of my face. And I’ve watched him do it many times over the last many years. I can count on it. When he’s done completely emptying all he’s got - he’s gonna walk off and know he has another day to do that all over again. Somehow, all that emptying he’s got to give - he’s gonna, empty that tank completely. All over again. Once more. And one more time after that. And plus several others.

He can and he will.

This used to matter.

What do you do for the rest of us?

That mattered.


I miss John Lennon.

You can’t just fucking “have this,” kids.

You don’t just get to fucking HAVE it.

Oh, Snowmen and Santa Clause, hurray - wall sized TV’s and “I can put a cock in place of my pussy and call it complacent; I’m SOMEone now”. No. You cannot. You can’t. You can but will not benefit in the manner you’ve so been dumbly promised.

And I do apologize for no one fucking TELLING you that outright but…it’s time to grow the fuck up.

Who’s world is left ahead of you?

YOURS!!

Get yer shit in gear and elect your own John Lennon.

Gettir duwn. Dumbshits.

What else should I be? All apologies?

Paul, remembering when they met recollected that he had bad breath.


:shrug:


I knew the music. I mostly outgrew it.
I outgrew Metallica too, but
I have four CDs...

0 Beatles.

2 Beatles down, 2 to go.

Can people just get over them and their crappy music already. Jesus. It really wasn't as good as all that.

It was far better than the 50s crap that preceded them. Perhaps you aren't old enough to know.

Ferry Cross The Mersey anyone...

cool idea, especially if theres either a magnetic mine or a yellow submarine with all tubes loaded stalking it, like a kind of Belgrano cross the mersey.
