Has anyone done anything in memory of John Lennon?
 

I was just wondering if any of you guys did anything any memory of John Lennon. My band played beatles songs all day and listened to them. just wondering.



I wish i was there to see him when he was alive

yea on dec 8 me and my friend listened to all his albums non stop

im sure everyone hand a moent of thought for lennon on that day. he is the greatest icon britian has ever produced and rivals elvis in terms of legend status. wish i was there too!

when paul mccartney dies, i am to not go to school. same with ringo starr

yea i totally agree with you

2. Mother
3. Beautiful Boy
4. Instant Karma!
5. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
6. Cold Turkey
7. #9 Dream
8. Strawberry Fields Forever
9. Woman is the ****** of the World
10. Working Class Hero
11. Revolution
12. Give Peace a Chance
13. Jealous Guy
14. Come Together
15. Power to the People


It think it's a shame that every year MTV honors the death of Tupac Shakur but barely, if ever, mentions the death of John Lennon (at least, as far as I can tell; I've certainly never seen it on there). I'm not trying to disrespect Tupac or say we shouldn't remember him, but John Lennon was a veritable genius who revolutionized modern music in innumerable ways and is a cultural icon. To even compare him to Tupac is disgraceful.

^ some would say pac revolutionized modern rap and is also a cultural icon. the comparison is not disgraceful, it just doesnt make sense because pac and lennon influenced two different genres.

:whythis: Can we start demanding that people stop writing as if their cavemen?

How did he revolutionize it? He did what NWA did, and frankly, I don't think he had more of an impact than Notorious BIG. People say he was the "intellectual rapper" but I don't think he was more elequent or enlightened than say; common, kanye west, saul williams.

I don't know, I don't think its disgraceful, but just because alot of attention starved well-off white kids wear your t-shirts and pretend their thugs gets you "revolutionary" status.

dude i am joking when i talk like that, i always joke around with my friends when i dun it.
