You may say I'm a dreamer...

I caught a snatch of Yoko on the radio today. It was the end of an interview, soon to be replaced by "Give Peace a Chance", and "Real Love". One of my musician friends on myspace posted a bulletin, a reminder that he probably did more for what we're all trying to do than anyone. I consider myself a part of that we, even though the things I produce and create are not musical. I had to post something today, especially since people used to call me the Beatles girl. I used to wear Beatles t-shirts at least once a week. They work well with black converse. Ah, highschool. Can't say I really miss it. I still own all my Beatles albums, and a few t-shirts, though. A black one with the picture of John in his New York t-shirt and the famous imagine quote on the back. John Lennon definitely had an impact on me during formative years. Even though he died a few short months after I was born. I was listening to Rubber Soul and Abbey Road while my classmates were toying with the idea of moving to Seattle to pay their respects to Kurt Cobain. I felt quite alone in my fascination in those days. I realize now, though, that I truly was not the only one. I am glad that I was born in 1980, and that John Lennon was still alive for at least a small portion of my life.
