Goodnight John




I was nearly 5 when it happened. It was my first experience with the idea of violent death. Murder. Murder of a hero of mine. A man who sang about peace and marmalade skies. A man who wrote a song about all the beautiful things he imagined for us, a man who led up a band that changed the face of music. A man with a little boy my age.

He never stopped being a key hero for me. I'm sorry he's gone.
