John Lennon - Power To The People

punditman says...

Thirty years ago this evening, John Lennon was murdered when he and Yoko returned to their apartment. At the time, punditman did not learn of this awful news until early the next day when he looked at the morning paper, which read: "John Lennon shot dead in New York City." Punditman went to his job that morning, loading trucks in the Sears warehouse. Like many of his fellow workers, (some of whom were undoubtedly working class heroes), punditman was very upset. Punditman is still upset.

Would John Lennon still be upset in our war-ravaged world? Would he have continued to rebel against war and injustice? Punditman likes to think so. All power to the people. Rest in peace, John. Punditman is still upset.
