Mark David Chapman shoots John Lennon outside the Dakota. Lennon dies later. Pop always said if you can't say something nice, think of something else. John Lennon was a MISERABLE human being, and a pretentious twit. Did he deserve to die? No. Does he deserve to be lionized? HELL NO!
I remember the day this happened. Was at work, a worker came crying thru the shop....was devastated...me not so much. But I am a Rolling Stones fan.
