imagine graphic celebrating the birthday of John Lennon

imagine.

Imagine if John Lennon was not murdered.

Imagine how much more music he could have written and we could have heard.

I remember that December evening vividly.

I was still a student at #Kutztown. The news traveled pretty fast that night, and that was way before cell phones and #social media was invented.

Hundreds of students gathered in the DMZ around the fountain.

I can still picture everyone sitting around the fountain, on the grass.

Fellow students were crying, saddened, and in shock. John Tone was playing his guitar and someone else had a radio playing nearby.

I think it was the first murder I can remember since the Kennedy assassination.

John Lennon would have been 80 years old today if he wasn’t killed.


Imagine there’s no heaven

It’s easy if you try

No hell below us

Above us only sky

Imagine all the people living for today

Imagine there’s no countries

It isn’t hard to do

Nothing to kill or die for

And no religion too

Imagine all the people living life in peace, you

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people sharing all the world, you

You may say I’m a dreamer

But I’m not the only one

I hope someday you’ll join us

And the world will be as one


Happy 80th Birthday Mr. Lennon.
