Lennon fans freezing their toes off in NYC

GenuineRisk · #1 12-08-2006, 07:25 AM

Not nearly as monumental as Pearl Harbor (though certainly a cultural touchstone in its own right), today is the anniversary of John Lennon's death, and, as usual, clusters of fans have gathered at the Dakota and Strawberry Fields to pay homage. I admire their dedication, but holy toledo, it's cold out today!

Did anyone see the documentary on him that was out this summer? Was it good?

And the follow-up-- after thinking, "What knuckleheads, going out to Strawberry Fields in the fracking cold," I happened to be at 72nd and CPW for a lunch date with ten minutes to kill, so guess where I wandered over to?

Knuckleheads. Takes one to know one, I guess.

Genuine Risk,
I always liked John L. "Imagine" and "give Peace a Chance" were two of my favorites.
Anyway, good to know you got home ok...cold as can be here in the Catskills.
I came across this today and at first thought the guy was in Iraq.
I have no idea where he is...but if anyone can figure out where he is, I'm sure he'd appreciate some help.

lennon was a communist.
anyone who mourns his death is a communist sympathizer or worse.

if I was NYPD commissioner, Id arrest everyone of those freaks and at least put a scare into them.
just beat them a bit or deprive them of sleep, but something to straighten them out.

Totally off subject, DaHoss, but your use of "different strokes" reminded me of watching American TV in Argentina-- my husband and I would try to pick up Spanish by watching Nick at Nite, dubbed in Spanish. The funniest part was how they translated names of shows. "Perfect Strangers" stayed pretty much the same, "Two Perfect Strangers," but "Mork and Mindy" became "Mork From the Planet Ork," I couldn't figure out what "Growing Pains" was translated as, and "Diff'rent Strokes" was translated as... "Black and White." Tee hee.
