Hello everyone. I'd like all of you to just stop for a minute and think. This day, December 8, 28 years ago, the world stood in silence. In 1980, in front of the Dakota in New York, one of the greatest -- no, the greatest musician in history, was shot and killed. Yes, if you haven't already guessed, I am talking about John Lennon. One of the most influencial people in history, 28 years ago, was assassinated.
No joke. I'd like you to take the time to do a little research as to who he was, and what he did. His actions and his songs still resonate to this very day, and will continue to do so for a long, long time. He may seem distant, but to many people around the world, he was a true inspiration.
And although his death was a cruel one, it fueled millions of people to accomplish what he longed for: peace.
Truly a great soul, you can learn more about him through books, movies, and other sources. He was someone who many looked up on, and I encourage you to learn more about his life, from his fatherless childhood to the rise and fall of the Beatles.
Thanks for your time.
-Michael
