The Night That John Lennon Died by Unknown
A muffled yet familiar organ sound begins to
play and is almost immediately scratched to the next station. With each station
after, it is easily recognizable that the Beatles are for some reason playing
on each of the stations until a voice emerges. The man briefly encapsulates John
Lennon's life after The Beatles for no more than 30 seconds before announcing
that he is dead at the age of 40. Stations switch playing more of his
masterpieces drawing us to another voice, one that is more somber and human
saying John will always be with us. The timeless songs continue and we
are reminded of his life feeling that this is happening in the moment when it
was really decades ago. A last voice reminds us that he never wanted to be
worshipped, only remembered. How can a man that always worked for peace have
died in the most un-peaceful of ways?
