some have gone and some remain
It's rare that I suggest that you tune in to commercial radio, but if you're looking for some music this evening, Rock 101 continues its annual tradition of broadcasting 24 hours of Lennon's songs every December 8th.
Also for your listening pleasure, here are a few of my favourite covers of Lennon penned tunes:
download: Fiona Apple - Across the Universe
download: Elliot Smith - Jealous Guy
download: Pearl Jam - Gimme Some Truth
now playing: The Beatles - A Day In The Life
some have gone and some remain
Everyone else has already done it, but I couldn't let today slip away without talking about the 25th anniversary of the murder of my favourite Beatle. As you no doubt know, John Lennon (who recently got his own official website - complete with videos) was gunned down outside of his NYC apartment a quarter century ago.
