Travis lays out some guidelines for this meme and they go like this:

1. Grab the banner, make your post title Five on Friday, and be sure to link back here.

2. Go to Playlist.com to make your play list of five songs. Choose a particular theme to share with us. You can simply post the play list, or you can add a little summary about what you are sharing.

3. No tags, but feel free to invite your friends to play along if they need a post topic on a Friday.

I was lying on the bed in my apartment in New York City, watching Monday Night Football with millions of other fans, when Howard Cosell made the announcement:


I sat there with my jaw open...just shaking my head.

31 years ago. A brilliant songwriter, musician, vocalist, father, husband, friend, seeker of peace was gunned down in front of his home at the Dakota in Manhattan.

What kind of music would he be making today? Would he even still be making music? Would he have taken the roll Bono and Bob Geldoff have taken in trying to help citizens of our world who are in need?

All things we will never know because of a deranged individual and John's love of the world which caused him to never have any security around him...how the times have changed, and not for the better.

Six from John...Five On Friday and one additional for the world.

HAVE A GRAND WEEKEND!

ENJOY!











SHEER BRILLIANCE!

  2. I was devastated when I heard the news. John Lennon is one of my personal heroes and even today I can't believe he's gone.

  8. Travis Cody Says:
  9. "John's love of the world..."

    His love of the world was not blind. He understood the flaws and blemishes. And yet, he avoided cynicism in his music and instead wrote from hope.

    Idealism based in reality...that's a philosophy I have always tried to embrace. Thanks for the wonderful musical memorial.
