REMEMBERING JOHN

Today is the day John Lennon was killed in 1980.

I remember the date well because only five days later my son was born and we named him after Lennon's first son - Julian.

John Lennon was special because he was not drowned by society. He maintained his own mind and his own heart. He said what he thought and that is what made him dangerous.

He was a hero. A real one.
