John Lennon’s presence still felt 35 years after his death

At a 2010 hearing, Chapman recalled that he had considered shooting Johnny Carson or Elizabeth Taylor instead, and said that he chose Lennon because the ex-Beatle was more accessible, that his century-old luxury apartment building “wasn’t quite as cloistered”.

PRNewsFoto/Epic RightsToday marks the 35th anniversary of one of the darkest days in rock music history, the day John Lennon was murdered by a deranged fan outside of the New York City apartment building where the Beatles legend lived with his wife, Yoko Ono, and their son, Sean.

Meanwhile, an old recording of Lennon re-imaging the lyrics to one of the Beatles’ biggest hits, Do You Want To Know a Secret, has come to light, and it’s a little bit naughty. War was a commonplace of his childhood, and when we try to sort out what he brought to the generation that mourns him so deeply, we naturally think first of his music, and then of the ways in which he and the Beatles tied that music to the peace movement of the late 1960s and early 1970s.

The ceremony is scheduled to run from 6 to 8 p.m.at 1750 N. Vine St., Hollywood.

“For me it was just so sad that, you know, I wasn’t gonna see him again and we weren’t gonna hang out”, McCartney explained. He was denied parole in August 2014.

Authorities said Lennon, 40, was rushed in a police vehicle to Roosevelt Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arriving.

“This was no robbery”, the spokesman said, adding that Mr Lennon was probably shot by a “deranged” person. “Tell me it isn’t true”, he quoted her as crying. Upon arrival at hospital it was clear that Lennon’s pulse had stopped and that he had stopped breathing.

In 1980, “Monday Night Football” announced the tragic incident. John Lennon is dead.

“That’s what John Lennon is, more than a musician”.

Perhaps feeling that the 1963 song now felt a little innocent, he lends it a more adult bent, clicking his fingers as he sings “Do you want to hold a penis?”

“Imagine” was inspired by several poems from Yoko Ono’s 1964 book Grapefruit.

After being introduced by Kevin Bacon, who emceed the evening, the country trio performed “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” off of The Beatles’ 1965 album Help!
