John's version of Stand By Me:

<a href='http://www.plime.com/redir.p?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4_ghOG9JQM' class='plime' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'><b>flash video</b></a>

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No I wont be afraid
No I wont be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountain should crumble to the sea
I wont cry, I wont cry
No I wont shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darling, darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Whenever youre in trouble wont you stand by me
Oh, now, now, stand by me
Oh, stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darling, darling stand by me
Stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

I think this is is a much better version of "Imagine".

News reports of his untimely death:

He had a great sense of humor:

On one occasion, when asked if Ringo Starr was "the best drummer in the world", Lennon replied, "He isn't even the best drummer in The Beatles."
Perhaps regretting the remark, Lennon in later years was outspoken in his conviction of Starr's importance to the band.

It was Lennon who, at the Royal Variety Show in 1963, in the presence of members of the British royalty, told the audience, "Those of you in the cheaper seats can clap your hands. The rest of you, if you'll just rattle your jewelery."

Lennon's humor was apparent during The Beatles' first American press conference, immediately after they stepped off the plane in February 1964.

Reporter: "Will you please sing something for us?" Lennon: "No, we need money first."

Reporter: "What is it about your music that excites people so much?" Lennon: "If we knew, we'd form another group and be managers."


=============================================

Also some of you may have missed this.

WAR IS OVER
maybe, if we want it more.

I fixed the title due to the formatting error - if anyone wants it back the way it was, please revert it.

Put a new image up there. It isn't the exact same but pretty similar. Hope you like it, 2manyusernames! :)

I still think him and Geddy Lee look identical in that video.

I said it in an earlier post. I think he was genius. Ahead of his time. I love "Imagine". A prime example of his thinking. We miss you John.

I dont know if many of you know this but a perfect circle redid imagine----its really good

I imbedded your video, shafty.

Blues Traveller covered it as well (and quite brilliantly, I might add). This was the only video I could find on it, so excuse the opening b&w movie segment. I recommend the John Lennon tribute album (Working Class Hero) as well, for anyone interested. Lot of great bands doing some great tributes.

John is still my favorite beatle. Love the guy, he is truly an inspiration. His life was cut far too short.

I'm all for this tribute, and miss John Lennon and all, but...

The image in the description has been bugging me all morning. It's a slipperly slope when we start adding images into the descriptions. Imagine if every article had one or two pictures in the description, of varying sizes.

I'd edit the image out myself, but I don't want to piss anyone off. I just don't think this is something we should start doing.

Wonder if this post will reach 500 UV?? GREAT presentation/sentiment, 2many!! Per the imagine image... normally I hate them as well, being large and unsitely, but in this instance, I find it fitting as a tribute...

Normally I would agree, but since it was a tribute to a great man, I figured it was appropriate. I'm all for it in cases like this, but otherwise it would not be cool.

There should be a rule, that only those articles can have an image edited into the description that have at least 300 points. Or 500. Or 529. That should keep the number of images down, and we would still have this image right here. It is nice.

Yer Blues with Lennon, Clapton, Richards, Mitchel
Oh damn is this a smokin hot version.

If I ain't dead already, girl you know the reason why.

heh heh dupe
but who cares as long as it's viewed!!!!

edited to add: I did spend the day singing Lennon songs in my head. (so not to annoy my coworkers)
