NEW YORK - Fans brought flowers, candles and their own bittersweet memories Thursday as they gathered to mark the day 25 years ago when John Lennon was murdered.

"With the country at war, his work and philosophy seem more poignant and more desperately needed than ever," said Kim Polson, who said she fell in love with the Beatles when she saw them on television at age 8.

She was an early morning visitor to Strawberry Fields, the section of Central Park just outside the Dakota apartment building where Lennon was gunned down by a deranged fan on Dec. 8, 1980.

Re: Won't you join us?

Give peace a chance!!

Imagine all those people living life in peace

come together - all you need is love

....Won't you join us?

Loving Lennon and each other , today and until world peace exists, will help the world come together.
And yes, actually, all it would take is love - If we all loved enough, there could be no war - wars require hate, fear, manipulation, distraction, lies and more hate, and LOVE erases all those things.

The cold hard shrivelled hearts of Bush and all the Bushevites holds no love for John Lennon, they HATE John Lennon. We can show them love too... may they feel the warmth of it someday.

Answer - that is a wonderful stand by McCartney. Does he use this measure to dictate his tour destinations or is it only China? There is a world full of Human Rights violations, including slavery, indentured service, torture and imprisonment for political views. He may end up with very few venues.

I've been playing a lot of Lennon lately. Love 'shaved fish' album. He is still sorely missed.

Yes, the problem is bigger than any one man - so "any one man" should clearly not bother trying to do anything about it. Pursue a more realistic goal, like perfecting a marshmallow that won't catch fire over an open flame....

Answer - if you read my post with any level of clarity, you would see that I was questioning McCartney's level of commitment (just want to know where he is with it) not challenging his freedom to take a stand or call for change.

So if your going to go with cynicism, please don't use my posting as a springboard, and if your post is sarcasm, then learn to read, the sarcasm was undeserved.
