Happy Birthday Mr. Lennon. You’re not the only one.
By Nick | October 9, 2008
It really chaps my ass when I think about the murder of John Lennon. Think of all the things that we and his family missed out on just because some psycho a-hole was trying to impress a girl. EDIT (That was John Hinckley that was trying to impress Jodie Foster when he attempted to kill Reagan….I am a little dense. Thanks for correcting me Dave!!)
Happy Birthday, John. You would have been 68 today.

Thank you for posting this…I miss him and I wonder how much more amazing and life changing music he had left to give us that we will never hear…sad sad sad.

Yeah I hated it when I heard that he had been murdered. I still remember like it was yesterday.
Nick, I think you might be confused. It was John Hinckley Jr. who shot President Reagan who was trying to impress a girl, the girl being the actress Jodi Foster.
Mark David Chapman shot Lennon because he was a psycho killer who was all wrapped up in the book “The Catcher in the Rye”.

In his statement to police three hours after his arrest, Chapman stated, “I’m sure the large part of me is Holden Caulfield”, who is the main person in the book. “The small part of me must be the Devil.”
Chapman has been denied parole five times, by a three-member board, in closed hearings lasting less than an hour, in October 2000, October 2002, October 2004, October 2006 and August 2008…
I say “come on out and see if you have more of a chance than you gave Lennon” not likely crazy man.
