the guy who assassinated John Lennon is up for parole next week.

There's an online petition calling for him to remain in prison for the rest of his natural life. I'm really not surprised about the death threats. I mean, assassinate a beatle? That's a pretty dumb move. It would be like assassinating Bob Dylan, Kurt Cobain, Jimmy Hendrix... I mean, sure two out of three of those are already dead anyway, but if they weren't and someone did assassinate them you could sure as hell bet there would be alot of passionate, devestated and pissed off people out there... And you killed the coolest beatle, you cunt! Just think, we would of had something to balance out all of Paul McCartney's um... solo stuff. Hell, maybe they would of done a couple of tunes together 10 years down the line... although, those would of probably sullied Lennon's coolness a little, but we would of forgiven him in the end.

Actually, if someone had assassinated Dylan before the beatles had met him they might of just remained a sugar-pop band! Just think, no Sgt Pepper! No Revolver! no ( insert name of another good post-sugarpop Beatles album here )!

It's 4:43 in the morning, I'm still awake, and my thought processes are running away with themselves.

And it's not as if I like much of Lennon's solo stuff anyway.
