I can't believe it's been 25 years since John Lennon was murdered. I remember that day like it was yesterday. I think it was my generation's 'Kennedy' moment. I couldn't listen to his song 'Happy Christmas' for many years without breaking into tears...

Makes you wonder what kind of impact he would have had on music and on his world...

to his life!

To me, its a question of degrees of influence. Did the music of John Lennon 'influence' me? Sure, a little. So does heat, cold, hunger, etc. So what?

Do you celebrate imporant life events by playing heat, cold, or hunger?

I knew that. I was trying to get the thread back on track by showing how art, music in this instance, affects our lives. I know you understand this hence my using your post for the point.

The no's were at the plane crash attempt.

I don't play music to celebrate important life events.

No music played at your wedding? You have no music you want played at your funeral? No poetry or literature read?

Again, I'm not saying it does not, to a certain extent. But not to a level of life changing, at least not for me.

Understand?

Again, I don't see anyone claiming the only true influence is life changing. I see folks saying that Lennon was an important figure in our lifetime, not THE most important figure in our lifetime.

I gave you the references. It's up to you to read them. And, I said nothing about THE most important figure in our lifetime.

Stop pulling crap out of your ass.

Sorry, but I have to stick up for Denise here.

There are people that would prefer she not be allowed to post ANYWHERE but in DC. Because she posted this in the Lounge, an attempt was made to politicize the thread in an effort to get it moved to DC, essentially banishing her there.

It's wrong, and it won't happen.

I think here is where you lost me. You then clarified your degrees of influence. And if you were not influenced by John Lennon then your loss...but for some reason you've felt to spend time on thread about him. So he's had some level of influence on you just today.

Now back to John.
