He was the Walrus

Instant Karma's gonna get you
Gonna look you right in the face
Better get yourself together darlin'
Join the human race
How in the world you gonna see
Laughin' at fools like me
Who in the hell d'you think you are
A super star
Well, right you are

Well we all shine on
Like the moon and the stars and the sun
Well we all shine on
Ev'ryone come on


It's the anniversary of John Lennon's death today. I remember watching the news the morning after he was shot (I was 9 years old) - all the people standing in Central Park, crying and holding candles, singing "Imagine" over and over. I've always been more of a Paul girl than a John girl, but I loved the Beatles growing up and I can't imagine a world without Lennon's music in it. (In fact, the summer before John was killed, my best friend and I spent countless hours developing dance routines to the songs on "Double Fantasy.") Anyway - here's to you, John. We miss you.
