John Winston Lennon - 1940 -1980

I sat and pencilled (palmed, actually) a pithy little post today about the irony of John Lennon, peace activist and pacifist, being shot by a 'fan,' and Paul Martin announcing his new gun confiscation policy on the same day 25 years later.

Then I thought, maybe it's not pithy, maybe it's pissy. So instead of a post called Same Old Song And Dance by Lennon/McMartin, I'm going to sit later tonight, raise a glass of Guinness in his memory, and pull out the old "Beatles for Classical Guitar" song book and play some of the finest music ever written.
