Remembering John Lennon…

I remember my mom waking me to tell me John had been shot on this date in 1980. I was eleven. She knew he was my favorite Beatle, more than that, he was my hero.

It’s hard to imagine how much you can be influenced by a band that broke up when you were one year old, but the Beatles are the foundation of music for me.

Thanks for everything, John.

But I’m not the only one.
I hope someday you’ll join us,
And the world will live as one.’
