So 30 years ago today John Lennon was shot outside his home in NYC. John Lennon was and still is a huge influence to me musically. I grew up listening to the Beatles and Lennon. Most of the first songs i learned on the guitar and piano were written by Lennon. He was one of the reasons why i even bothered learning how to play any instruments. In school band i played the trumpet, baritone horn and the valve trombone. Sometimes before class or on down time me and my friends in band would learn horn lines from the beatles songs like Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band.
So on the 30th anniversary of his death today leave some words about how Lennon influenced you musically or some fan appreciation.
inb4 If he wasnt killed nobody would care. Well neil diamond said its better to burn out than fade away, but i think in john lennons case he would have done the same as paul is doing. He might have gone on to write alot of more awesome music and eventually his music would have started to taper down. I would have still been getting his albums just like im doing with mcartney now. Either way a great fellow musician was killed tragically. I feel i should pay homage.
