I was 3 and very sheltered. My parents didn't listen to "rock n roll" I'm tellin ya, they didn't care, and so the pattern is handed down to the children. I know now right?

Dec 8th 1980.
He was shot in New York leaving his brown stone building, the Dakotah, by a man named Mark David Chapman was institutionalized.
As for the music thing I can see how that is possible. My father was into dated material and my mother was into love songs. I picked up on the Beatles on my own and Lennon and his other music as a result of it. A little bit of trivia includes the fact thet the first CDs ever sold were Beatles albums. I have all of them. They come in handy when I feel like listening to something special.
There are many books on Lennon including The Lives of John Lennon by Albert Goldman. I did a term paper on the subject of him and the Beatles once upon a time. So, I have a lot of background material. If you get a chance watch the movie "Imagine" if you want to learn more, or if you just like the music watch "I an Sam". Enjoy.

He was shot to death in 1980 outside the Dakota building in New York City where he was living at the time. The guy who shot him to death Mark David Chapman was the last person to get his autograph hours before he returned to kill John Lennon. There is a park called Strawberry Fields dedicated to John in New York. One day I will go there and reflect on a true musician of the twentieth century as well.

Truth Be Told
Megadeth
(The System Has Failed)
This is the first tale of death in the world
When Cain struck down Abel, a family broken
Since then mankind's dominated his own kind
To insult and injure, there's no such thing as peace
Till death do us part, till the last
Truth be told - Sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told - Hell's open for business now
Truth be told - The soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told - And death is upon the ground
All around
The battle ain't over without spoils of war
Just cause it is written does not make it so
When you dance with the devil wait till the song's over
I ask myself, "How bad do I want you to live?"
My anger is near, till the last
Truth be told - Sin lies at the doorway
Truth be told - Hell's open for business now
Truth be told - The soil cries out for revenge
Truth be told - And death is upon the ground
All around
Tribulation strikes and we're hit hard
Still you just go on your way
Head in the SAND, ignoring the RAIN,
Just like the flood in Noah's day
In his day
Can't punish those ruining the earth
It's suicide to some degree
Because we are all guilty, guilty as sin
There will be no peace, NEVER FOR YOU AND ME
Before al Qaeda and Bin Laden
Long before Hitler and Hussein
Ever since the first murder was commited
The verdict's always been the same
Been the same, WRONG!
The cursed future just repeats the past
There's no hell to pay and stones to cast
So, there will be no peace, NEVER BE PEACE
Till the last, truth be told
by YOU AND ME

He was shot in the chest on Dec 1980 by Mark Chapman he was a fan. John was killed after he returned home from the recording studio . Funny thing is Mark had him sign his book for him earlier that day. Amazing what people will do to get famous. Even take someones life

December 8, 1980, Mark David Chapman shot Lennon while he was arriving at his apartment (Dakota). Chapman was obsessed with Lennon, the book "The Catcher in the Rye" inspired Chapman to kill Lennon.

He was shot to death in December of 1980, in the lobby of the Dakota apartment building in NYC.It was on the same night that they lighted the Christmas tree in Rockfeller Center.Mark David Chapman is the name of the fat pig sicko freak that did it.He is up for parole soon I think,and they just made a movie about this a**hole called Chapter 27,with that drunken bimbo Lindsey Lohan in it. Why don't they make a movie about John Lennon?
