I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll
Thinking of John Lennon, who was murdered 36 years ago this evening.
RIP John. Your brilliance lives on!
America sits watching the wheels go round and round.
"It’s been 36 years since Lennon was gunned down by an assassin’s bullet on December 8, 1980, but his legacy and the lessons he imparted in his music and his activism have not diminished over the years.
All of the many complaints we have about government today were present in Lennon’s day and formed the basis of his call for social justice, peace and a populist revolution.
Little wonder, then, that the U.S. government saw him as enemy number one.
Because he never refrained from speaking truth to power, Lennon became a prime example of the lengths to which the U.S. government will go to persecute those who dare to challenge its authority." --John Whitehead.
Well stated!
