25th Anniversary of Lennon's death

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

There's a program called "I shot Lennon" on tv tonight (in Sweden).
I've never liked the Beatles or Lennon though, so I'll probably not watch it.
Still a sad death though.
Can't believe I'm still here.

Strawberry Fields Forever is my favourite song of all time. :)

Across The Universe has such lovely words...

Other than that:

A Day In The Life
Tommorow Never Knows
In My Life

Solo stuff not so hot, but me likes:

Gimme Some Truth
Nobody Loves You When You're Down and Out
Oh My Love

It's the same documentary! :)

I think I read that in Peter Freestones book about Freddie :o
But lets not forget (the horrible looking) Montserrat Caballé ;)

I prefer Jo Whiley's brand of daytime Radio 1, myself.
