On December 8th 1980 former Beatle
John Lennon was brutally murdered by
Mark David Chapman (what's up with all those
gunmen with three names?). Lennon was a talented artist. To most, his name was synonymous with peace and love.
Some would disagree, including his son
Julian. John was the inspiration for a
National Lampoon song
parody which quoted his own
bitter remarks from a 1971 interview for
Rollingstone. You can listen to that interview
here, courtesy of WFMU. The satire is quite venomous, but I think he would've laughed along with us.
R.I.P. Mr. Lennon.
