John Lennon: 1940 - 1980

I cannot let December 8 end without posting something about John Lennon, who was shot to death 25 years ago today. Joe Gandelman at The Moderate Voice has a moving remembrance of how he experienced that day; and he also provides a nice round-up of blogger commentary.

Also, via Ace of Spades HQ, Pundit Guy has a detailed account of that day and a very comprehensive set of links to further coverage.

Imagine no more people mocking a man who believed in a world without war, or making fun of the woman he loved. I wonder if you can.
