That's beautiful.

And by the way, I feel guilty for not having read the last part of your story yet but I'm always sort of really dead at the end of every week. But of course I'll get to it this weekend! Just need to get some shit together first.

Aw, that's quite alright.

You make me feel so old... you weren't even born when he died... ;) I was only ten years old at the time and barely remember it myself. My brother remembers, of course, since it's the same day as his birthday.

I think the fact that he was dead before I was alive makes me even more sick about it, honestly.

Most of the people I respect and love [the ones I haven't met, that is] - authors, musicians, artists - were long gone by the time I got here. That's upsetting to me, not only because I'll never get to meet them or get to be moved by something new they're produced, but, on a more scopic scale, the fact that the only people I have to look up to in that respect are long dead makes me angry because where are the revolutionaries?

I know, I know there are still people out there writing great things, making great music, great art, but it just seems like they have such a lessened impact today, probably due to the overwhelming, perverse saturation of all of those markets

Love is...his enduring legacy. <3

Thanks for the reminder...this is the one of the times of year that I'm most thankful for John Lennon and his contributions to the world, since he created one of the only Christmas songs that isn't powerfully lame.
