John Lennon: Still Missed 30 Years Later

Thirty years ago today John Lennon was murdered outside The Dakota in New York. Deranged 'fan' Mark David Chapman fired the bullets that killed one of the most iconic men in music history who was also an important supporter of the anti-war and civil rights movement in a time of turmoil in America. Unfortunately Lennon never got to experience his later years like had been planned in "Just Like Starting Over";

Our life together is so precious together
We have grown, we have grown
Although our love is still special 
Let's take a chance and fly away somewhere alone

It's been too long since we took the time
No-one's to blame, I know time flies so quickly
But when I see you darling
It's like we both are falling in love again
It'll be just like starting over, starting over.

Thirty years on and his message of peace still rings true, and people still mourn his death every single year. It's a shame he had to go so soon, but the message of peace and hope for a better a future can still be held by everyone, and his music both solo and with The Beatles will never be forgotten. Thirty years ago today, RIP John Lennon. (9 October 1940 – 8 December 1980)

 

War is over...if you want it. 

Pepsi Ripped off The Grateful Dead?

Today I was looking at a can of Pepsi sitting in my kitchen and I realized something...it totally looks like the Grateful Dead's "Steal your face" logo. Is it a conspiracy to make me want to listen to The Dead?! If so it worked, I'm listening to some China Cat Sunflower right now! I don't drink soda but I guess I can say...well, thank you Pepsi?!

They look a lot alike to me, but hey you be the judge!
