- John Lennon

Imagine


Hoy hace 28 años se tomo esta foto. Mark David Chapman recibe el autógrafo de John Lennon cuando éste ultimo salía de su casa, el edificio Dakota, a una sesión de grabación. Un periodista que estaba esperando que Lennon saliera de su edificio tomo esta foto.

Todos se fueron, menos Chapman. Al rededeor de las 10:30 Lennon regresa del estudio al Dakota, Chapman lo alcanza y grita "Mr. Lennon", pero no le dio tiempo de voltear. Le disparó 5 balazos de punta hueca, de los cuales 4 pegaron en espalda y hombro.

Al terminar, Chapman se sentó cerca de ahí leyendo "The Catcher in the Rye" (El Guardián del Centeno) hasta que llegó la policía. No opuso ningúna resistencia a su arresto.

En su declaración, Chapman dijo "Una gran parte de mi es Holden Caulfield (personaje principal del libro), la parte pequeña debe ser el diablo".

Lennon fue declarado muerto ese mismo dia a las 11:15pm en el Hospital Roosevelt.

If i fell


If I fell in love with you
Would you promise to be true
And help me understand
cause Ive been in love before
And I found that love was more
Than just holding hands

If I give my heart to you
I must be sure
From the very start
That you would love me more than her

If I trust in you oh please
Dont run and hide
If I love you too oh please
Dont hurt my pride like her

cause I couldnt stand the pain
And I would be sad if our new love was in vain
So I hope you see that i
Would love to love you
And that she will cry
When she learns we are two

If I fell in love with you
