My best friend Jaynie, who was at the time a far bigger Beatles fan
than I, didn't hear about it until next morning.
I was born on 7/19/59, five and a half months after Buddy Holly's
fateful plane ride. But for me, and a lot of others, 12/8/80 was "the
day the music died."
Anyone else who was around then remember what they were doing that
night?

Well, my father was putting wood paneling up in the basement listening to the
radio. He recalls them playing three Beatle songs in a row and the DJ coming
on and saying "The Late Great John Lennon". He went up stairs and told my
mother who was trying to get me to sleep in my crib. I was 3 1/2 months old.
And anyone here who knows me, Randy I know you know what John is to me,
andone who doesn't should look at my online Handles. A man who died almost at
the same time of my birth to be the greatest idol and influence on my life
beyond words says alot.

23 years ago today, I would have been 15 and it would have been 1980...if it
was a monday, then I was probably just waking up from the weekends partying at
RHPS in NYC.

I went out into the living room to see why the music was so loud when I noticed
my mother in a fetal position on the floor crying. When I asked what was wrong,
she told me John Lennon had died. Being only a year older than John's son was,
it didn't really make a whole lot of sense. But it triggered my mothers first
serious bout of depression (which lasted a few months) and I remember not
understanding too much about this John Lennon guy, but praying to God to bring
him back so my mom would stop being sad.
(Wow, come to think of it, that's a powerful memory)
I know for myself that it never hit me at all until I saw Imagine:John Lennon
in the theater. I had grown up with John being gone, and I guess the brutality
and senselessness of his death didn't occur to me until I saw that. *shrug*

"Serve Yourself"
by John Lennon
You say you found Jesus Christ
He's the only one
You say you found Buddha
Sittin' in the sun
You say you found Mohammed
Facin' to the East
You say you found Krishna
Dancin' in the streets
Well there's somethin' missing
In this God Almighty stew
And it's your mother
Your mother (don't forget your mother, lad)
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you
Well, you may believe in devils
And you may believe in laws
But if you don't go out and serve yourself
Lad, (ain't no room service here)
It's still the same old story
A bloody holy war
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study war (no more)
A fight for God and country
We're gonna set you free
We'll put you back in the Stone Age
If you won't be like me
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you
Well, you may believe in devils
And you may believe in laws
But Christ, you're gonna have to serve yourself, and that's all there is
to it
(So get right back here
It's in the bloody fridge
God, when I was a kid
We didn't have stuff like this
T.V.-fuckin' dinners and all that crap- you fuckin' kids
All the fuckin' same, want a fuckin' car now...
Lucky to have a pair of shoes)
You tell me you found Jesus Christ
(Well that's great) He's the only one
You say you found Buddha
Sittin' on his ass in the sun
You say you found Mohammed
Kneelin' on a bloody carpet facin' east
You say you found Krishna
With a bald head, dancin' in the streets
(Well Christ, now you're goin' out of your bleedin' gourd.)
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you
(That's right now, you better get that straight through your fuckin'
head)
You got to serve yourself
(You know that better, who the hell else is gonna do it for you? It
ain't me, kid, I'll tell ya that)
Well, you may believe in Jesus
And you may believe in Marx
And you may believe in Marks and Spencers'
And you may believe in bloody Woolworth's
But there's somethin' missing in this whole bloody stew
And it's your mother
Your poor bloody mother
(She wot bore you in the back bedroom, full of piss and shit and fuckin'
midwives. God you can't forget that... should have been in the bloody
war, lad, you'd have known all about it)
Well, I'll tell you something...
It's still the same old story
A holy bloody war
(You know, the Pope and all that stuff)
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study no war (no more)
A fight for God and country
(the Queen and all that)
We're gonna set you free
(Yeah, all them nignogs, sure)
Bomb you back into the fuckin' Stone Age
If you won't do like me
(You know, get on your knees and pray)
Well there's somethin' missing in this God Almighty stew
And it's your goddamn mother
You dirty little git
Now get in there and wash your ears...

Wow. I can think of soooooooo many smart-ass things to say to that comment, but
I'm not going to.
Merry Christmas.

23 years ago. I was asleep because I was too young to be up that late.
I remember hearing about it the next day on the news and thinking "Why all the
fuss about some guy?" I didn't know who he was at the time, though he became
one of my fave singers in later life.
I still think Yoko paid to have him killed. (everyone gets one conspiracy
theory, yes?)
Nah. She's no Courtney Love.
=)
Wow, guess I'm not the youngest of the young'uns here. I was about a year old;
definitely too young to know yet the gravity of what had happened, or remember
anything about that night. Depressing.
The day the music died for me was 8/9/95...2 days before my 16th birthday.
