Today, had he lived, John Lennon would be 70 years old.
We've been at war again. The longest the US has ever been at war.
Imagine what Lennon would have written in reaction to all this strife.
Adult Onset Adolescence: The adventures of being single and fifty-something: a widowed, empty nester who is too old to start a new family (as in having kids) but way too young to sit around playing bridge and waiting to die (Horrors!). So I have begun my second adolescence: college, dating, and looking for a new life somewhere between the by-gone idyllic family of four and the unknown future. It's a crazy world out there, and I hope to share my little piece of it with you.
Been thinking about him all weekend. When I was working at an art gallery in Dallas, the page from Lennon's diary with Imagine's lyrics was brought in to be framed. We treated it like a holy relic. The whole song was written clearly, in his round hand, no changes, no alterations, straight from a muse, perfect.
