13. Imagine if John Lennon were still living in NYC
Edited on Thu Jun-03-10 09:09 AM by karynnj
In 1971 and 1972, Lennon had retrenched to some degree, disdaining the far left, anti-war activists, but still strongly opposing the war. He was at one anti-war event where John Kerry spoke. (A Yale room mate of Kerry's, Danny Barbiero worked on Lennon's Mind Games album. When Lennon was impressed by Kerry's testimony, this guy spoke of being a long time friend of his.) The pictures from that are cool.



Had he lived, I don't doubt that he would have continued to speak his mind. I wonder if he would have become a citizen of his adopted country. Either way, it is interesting to think what he would have done with his strong voice.
