Lennon: Forever young 30 years after death

Gerald · 12-08-10, 12:37 AM

NEW YORK (AFP) – Thirty years after his untimely death, gunned down in the street outside his New York apartment, John Lennon remains a legend whose music and drive for world peace has inspired generations of artists.

The former Beatle died on December 8, 1980 after being shot four times in the back by Mark David Chapman outside the chic Dakota apartment block in Central Park West where he lived with his second wife, Yoko Ono.

Lennon had just celebrated his 40th birthday. Now every year on October 9, Lennon's birthday, and December 8, fans flock to the apartment block where Ono still lives to pay tribute to the Liverpool-born musician and mourn his passing.

Roger Daltrey died?

Just kidding. I have to kid. I was around when the Beatles broke up, and I was around when Lennon was killed. I still remember my shock while listening to it on the radio. So I need to make jokes rather than act all somber. It's how I coped then, and nothing's changed.

I also remember it. Some friends came by, late at night, woke me up with the news. After hearing that some one had shot him I thought for a moment and asked "But why?'.

To date my question remains.
