I've seen that Phil Ochs avatard plenty of times, but it never registered that it belonged to Mr. Shaking and Crying. I had never connected the mawkish Mr. Ono and Floogelburger stories as both being JamieCry either. 😢😭😿😢😭😿

I thought Brad Olsen had the monopoly on RIP threads. He’s like the Grim Reaper !

It was the night of my wife's 22nd birthday. Her birthday has remained a bittersweet occasion ever since. She used to complain when I would say she was born on the day after Pearl Harbor. Wifey and I were in bed(I had to work on Tuesday morning), when the phone rang at about 11 pm. My wife heard me scream NOOOOOOOO and dropped the phone. I never made it to work the next day. Baby held me as I cried through the night. I wanted to wrap my arms around Yoko so bad that night and hold her. I think she knew that too. 33 years. JamieC, Dec 7, 2013 #30 ZAck Scott and Bill like this. Woke up, fell out of bed Heard the news that John was dead. Made my way downstairs and had a stroke Then somebody spoke and I went into a scream:
♩ ♪ ♫ NOOOOOOOOOO ♩ ♪ ♫ Happy Chappie Day.

The shaking and crying has begun. FredV managed a LennonRIP/Monkees hybrid.

With every year, my sadness, frustration, anger, and resent seems to grow when I think of how we lost him. We all shine on. I was staying at a friend’s loft in NYC. Someone came in with the news. Another person I didn’t know, an engineer, said “so what, people die every day”. I had to refrain from killing him. I was not a fan of John Lennon, but he was a Beatle for God’s sake and a major cultural figure and the way he died was so terrible.

I hope John is shining on in strawberry fields cuz in my life he helped me dig a pony and I imagine he’s on a magical mystery tour.

I've made my own tasteless comments here in the past about Lennon's death, but in all seriousness, I'd like to feed Chappie feet first into a wood chipper.

MDC's 13th parole hearing due in Feb 24.
Praying he gets out in time to make amends for his sub-optimal choice of target.

I'll just say I'm a great fan of Lennon's final recorded performance (the guitar on Walking On Thin Ice) and while not being a pro-death-penalty MAGAt, I can hear where Sounds... ago is coming from. JL might have been fully aware his wife had more creativity and good music in her at that point than he did.
